   "@brief A networkable object that exists in the 3D world.\n\n"

   "The SceneObject class provides the foundation for 3D objects in the Engine.  It "
   "exposes the functionality for:\n\n"

   "<ul><li>Position, rotation and scale within the world.</li>"
   "<li>Working with a scene graph (in the Zone and Portal sections), allowing efficient "
   "and robust rendering of the game scene.</li>"
   "<li>Various helper functions, including functions to get bounding information "
   "and momentum/velocity.</li>"
   "<li>Mounting one SceneObject to another.</li>"
   "<li>An interface for collision detection, as well as ray casting.</li>"
   "<li>Lighting. SceneObjects can register lights both at lightmap generation "
   "time, and dynamic lights at runtime (for special effects, such as from flame "
   "or a projectile, or from an explosion).</li></ul>\n\n"

   "You do not typically work with SceneObjects themselves.  The SceneObject provides a reference "
   "within the game world (the scene), but does not render to the client on its own.  The "
   "same is true of collision detection beyond that of the bounding box.  Instead you "
   "use one of the many classes that derrive from SceneObject, such as TSStatic.\n\n"

   "@section SceneObject_Hiding Difference Between setHidden() and isRenderEnabled\n\n"

   "When it comes time to decide if a SceneObject should render or not, there are two "
   "methods that can stop the SceneObject from rendering at all.  You need to be aware of "
   "the differences between these two methods as they impact how the SceneObject is networked "
   "from the server to the client.\n\n"

   "The first method of manually controlling if a SceneObject is rendered is through its "
   "SceneObject::isRenderEnabled property.  When set to false the SceneObject is considered invisible but "
   "still present within the scene.  This means it still takes part in collisions and continues "
   "to be networked.\n\n"

   "The second method is using the setHidden() method.  This will actually remove a SceneObject "
   "from the scene and it will no longer be networked from the server to the cleint.  Any client-side "
   "ghost of the object will be deleted as the server no longer considers the object to be in scope.\n\n"
