    /** Manages the rendering of a 'scene' i.e. a collection of primitives.
        @remarks
            This class defines the basic behaviour of the 'Scene Manager' family. These classes will
            organise the objects in the scene and send them to the rendering system, a subclass of
            RenderSystem. This basic superclass does no sorting, culling or organising of any sort.
        @par
            Subclasses may use various techniques to organise the scene depending on how they are
            designed (e.g. BSPs, octrees etc). As with other classes, methods preceded with '_' are
            designed to be called by other classes in the Ogre system, not by user applications,
            although this is not forbidden.

                scale The scaling applied to the sky plane - higher values
                mean a bigger sky plane - you may want to tweak this
                depending on the size of plane.d and the other
                characteristics of your scene
            @param
                tiling How many times to tile the texture across the sky.
                Applies to all texture layers. If you need finer control use
                the TextureUnitState texture coordinate transformation methods.

                geometry in the scene, without updating the depth buffer.
                This is the safest rendering method since all other objects

                the most efficient way if most of the sky is often occluded
                by other objects. If this is the case, you can set this

				bow If zero, the plane will be completely flat (like previous
				versions.  If above zero, the plane will be curved, allowing

                A sky dome is actually formed by 5 sides of a cube, but with
                texture coordinates generated such that the surface appears
                curved like a dome. Sky domes are appropriate where you need a

                'fogged', and there is always a 'floor' of some sort to prevent
                the viewer looking below the horizon (the distortion effect below
                the horizon can be pretty horrible, and there is never anyhting
                directly below the viewer). If you need a complete wrap-around
                background, use the setSkyBox method instead. You can actually

            @par
                Sky domes work well with 2D repeating textures like clouds. You

                your scene is viewed - lower curvatures are better for 'open'
                scenes like landscapes, whilst higher curvatures are better for

            <ul><li>Stencil-based approaches can be used to 
            draw very long, extreme shadows without loss of precision and the 'additive'
            version can correctly show the shadowing of complex effects like bump mapping
            because they physically exclude the light from those areas. However, the edges
            are very sharp and stencils cannot handle transparency, and they involve a 
            fair amount of CPU work in order to calculate the shadow volumes, especially
            when animated objects are involved.</li>
            <li>Texture-based approaches are good for handling transparency (they can, for
            example, correctly shadow a mesh which uses alpha to represent holes), and they
            require little CPU overhead, and can happily shadow geometry which is deformed
            by a vertex program, unlike stencil shadows. However, they have a fixed precision 
            which can introduce 'jaggies' at long range and have fillrate issues of their own.</li>
            </ul>
        @par
            We support 2 kinds of stencil shadows, and 2 kinds of texture-based shadows, and one
            simple decal approach. The 2 stencil approaches differ in the amount of multipass work 
            that is required - the modulative approach simply 'darkens' areas in shadow after the 
            main render, which is the least expensive, whilst the additive approach has to perform 
            a render per light and adds the cumulative effect, whcih is more expensive but more 
            accurate. The texture based shadows both work in roughly the same way, the only difference is
            that the shadowmap approach is slightly more accurate, but requires a more recent
            graphics card.

		@remarks
			Stencil shadow coherency is very reliant on the shadow volume
			not being clipped by the far plane. If this clipping happens, you
			get a kind of 'negative' shadow effect. The best way to achieve
			coherency is to move the far plane of the camera out to infinity,
			thus preventing the far plane from clipping the shadow volumes.
			When combined with vertex program extrusion of the volume to 
			infinity, which	Ogre does when available, this results in very
			robust shadow volumes. For this reason, when you enable stencil 
			shadows, Ogre automatically changes your camera settings to 
			project to infinity if the card supports it. You can disable this
			behaviour if you like by calling this method; although you can 
			never enable infinite projection if the card does not support it.
		@par	
			If you disable infinite projection, or it is not available, 
			you need to be far more careful with your light attenuation /
			directional light extrusion distances to avoid clipping artefacts
			at the far plane.
		@note
			Recent cards will generally support infinite far plane projection.
			However, we have found some cases where they do not, especially
			on Direct3D. There is no standard capability we can check to 
			validate this, so we use some heuristics based on experience:
			<UL>
			<LI>OpenGL always seems to support it no matter what the card</LI>
			<LI>Direct3D on non-vertex program capable systems (including 
			vertex program capable cards on Direct3D7) does not
			support it</LI>
			<LI>Direct3D on GeForce3 and GeForce4 Ti does not seem to support
			infinite projection<LI>
			</UL>
			Therefore in the RenderSystem implementation, we may veto the use
			of an infinite far plane based on these heuristics.
