        /** Utility class which defines the sub-parts of an Entity.
        @remarks
            Just as meshes are split into submeshes, an Entity is made up of
            potentially multiple SubMeshes. These are mainly here to provide the
            link between the Material which the SubEntity uses (which may be the
            default Material for the SubMesh or may have been changed for this
            object) and the SubMesh data.
        @par
            The SubEntity also allows the application some flexibility in the
            material properties for this section of a particular instance of this
            Mesh, e.g. tinting the windows on a car model.
        @par
            SubEntity instances are never created manually. They are created at
            the same time as their parent Entity by the SceneManager method
            createEntity.
