        /** @see InstanceBatch to understand how instancing works.

                Instanced entities work in a very similar way as how an Entity works, as this interface
                tries to mimic it as most as possible to make the transition between Entity and InstancedEntity
                as straightforward and simple as possible.
                There are a couple inherent limitations, for example setRenderQueueGroup only works on
                the InstanceBatch level, not the individual instance. This limits Z sorting for alpha blending
                quite significantly
                An InstancedEntity won't appear in scene until a SceneNode is attached to them. Once the
                InstancedEntity is no longer needed, call InstanceBatch::removeInstancedEntity to put them
                back into a queue so the batch can return it back again when a new instance is requested.
                @par
                Internally, instanced entities that are not visible (i.e. by setting setVisible(false) or
                when they don't have a SceneNode attached to them) a Zero world matrix is sent to the vertex shader
                which in turn causes a zero area triangle.
                This obviously means no Vertex shader benefit, but saves a bit of pixel shader processing power.
                Also this means this object won't be considered when sizing the InstanceBatch's bounding box.
                @par
                Each instance has an instance ID unique within the batch, which matches the ID sent to the vertex
                shader by some techniques (like InstanceBatchShader).
                @par
                Differences between Entity and InstancedEntity:
                * Setting RenderQueueGroup and other Renderable stuff works at InstanceBatch level, not
                InstancedEntity. This is obviously a limitation from instancing in general, not this particular
                implementation
