        world matrix (or a collection of world matrices which are blended by weights), and must be 
        renderable via a single render operation.

        @remarks
            OGRE is a queued renderer, so the actual render commands are executed 
            at a later time than the point at which an object is discovered to be
            visible. This allows ordering & grouping of renders without the discovery
            process having to be aware of it. It also means OGRE uses declarative
            render information rather than immediate mode rendering - this is very useful
            in that certain effects and processes can automatically be applied to 
            a wide range of scenes, but the downside is that special cases are
            more difficult to handle, because there is not the declared state to 
            cope with it. 
        @par
            This method allows a Renderable to do something special at the actual
            point of rendering if it wishes to. When this method is called, all the
            material render state as declared by this Renderable has already been set, 
            all that is left to do is to bind the buffers and perform the render. 
            The Renderable may modify render state itself if it wants to (and restore it in the 
            postRender call) before the automated render happens, or by returning
            'false' from this method can actually suppress the automatic render
            and perform one of its own.
        @return
            true if the automatic render should proceed, false to skip it on 
            the assumption that the Renderable has done it manually.

            of ACT_CUSTOM, and to allow there to be more than one of these per

            which parameter is being updated. The implementation of this method
            must identify the parameter being updated, and call a 'setConstant' 
            method on the passed in GpuProgramParameters object, using the details
            provided in the incoming auto constant setting to identify the index
            at which to set the parameter.

            sets of data associated with the Renderable as provided by setCustomParameter
            and getCustomParameter. By default, the implementation will map from the
            value indexed by the 'constantEntry.data' parameter to a value previously
            set by setCustomParameter. But custom Renderables are free to override
            this if they want, in any case.
