An alias gets its type and arguments from a previously defined primitive. |
| 130 |
|
This is useful when the same material is used with a different |
| 131 |
|
modifier, or as a convenient naming mechanism. |
| 132 |
+ |
The reserved modifier name "inherit" may be used to specificy that |
| 133 |
+ |
an alias will inherit its modifier from the original. |
| 134 |
|
Surfaces cannot be aliased. |

If the modifier is "void", then surfaces will use the modifiers given |
| 273 |
+ |
in the original mesh description. |
| 274 |

Otherwise, the modifier specified is used in their place. |

|
The transform moves the mesh to the desired location in the scene. |
| 276 |
|
Multiple instances using the same meshfile take little extra memory, |
| 277 |
|
and the compiled mesh itself takes much less space than individual |
