extends java.lang.Object

Author:

Curt ExternalRenderable's are essentially timed E3DRenderable objects. They can be created and added to either a viewport or the engine itself and can be used to do any sort of rendering you see fit. You could use them to make a completely new rendering algorithm (maybe BSP trees, etc) for you application. Simply create it, make it do whatever it needs to do in the E3DRenderable's render procedure, and add it to a viewport to make it viewport specific, or the engine to make it engine specific.
