#define _SCENEGRAPH_MODEL_H
/*
 * A new model system with a scene graph based approach.
 * Also see: https://wiki.pioneerspacesim.net/wiki/Model_system
 * Open Asset Import Library (assimp) is used as the mesh loader.
 *
 * Similar systems:
 *  - OpenSceneGraph http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg has been
 *    an inspiration for naming some things and it also uses node visitors.
 *    It is a lot more complicated however
 *  - Assimp also has its own scenegraph structure (much simpler)
 *
 * A model has an internal stucture of one or (almost always several) nodes
 * For example:
 * RootNode
 *    MatrixTransformNode (applies a scale or something to child nodes)
 *        LodSwitchNode (picks 1-3)
 *            StaticGeometry_low
 *            StaticGeometry_med
 *            StaticGeometry_hi
 *
 * It's not supposed to be too complex. For example there are no "Material" nodes.
 * Geometry nodes can contain multiple separate meshes. One node can be attached to
 * multiple parents to achieve a simple form of instancing, although the support for
 * this is dependanant on tools.
 *
 * Models are defined in a simple .model text file, which describes materials,
 * detail levels, meshes to import to each detail level and animations.
 *
 * While assimp supports a large number of formats most models are expected
 * to use Collada (.dae). The format needs to support node names since many
 * special features are based on that.
 *
 * Loading all the meshes can be quite slow, so there will be a system to
 * compile them into a more game-friendly binary format.
 *
 * Animation: position/rotation/scale keyframe animation affecting MatrixTransforms,
 * and subsequently nodes attached to them. There is no animation blending, although
 * an animated matrixtransform can be attached to another further down the chain just fine.
 * Due to format & exporter limitations, animations need to be combined into one timeline
 * and then split into new animations using frame ranges.
 *
 * Attaching models to other models (guns etc. to ships): models may specify
 * named hardpoints, known as "tags" (term from Q3).
 * Users can query tags by name or index and create a ModelNode to wrap the sub model
 *
 * Minor features:
 *  - pattern + customizable colour system (one pattern per model). Patterns can be
 *    dropped into the model directory.
 *  - dynamic textures (logos on spaceships, advertisements on stations)
 *  - 3D labels (well, 2D) on models
 *  - spaceship thrusters
 *
 * Things to optimize:
 *  - model cache
 *  - removing unnecessary nodes from the scene graph: pre-translate unanimated meshes etc.
