/// An instance of a 3space shape.
///
/// @section TSShapeInstance_intro Introduction
///
/// A 3space model represents a significant amount of data. There are multiple meshes,
/// skeleton information, as well as animation data. Some of this, like the skeletal
/// transforms, are unique for each instance of the model (as different instances are
/// likely to be in different states of animation), while most of it, like texturing
/// information and vertex data, is the same amongst all instances of the shape.
///
/// To keep this data from being replicated for every instance of a 3shape object, Torque
/// uses the ResManager to instantiate and track TSShape objects. TSShape handles reading
/// and writing 3space models, as well as keeping track of static model data, as discussed
/// above. TSShapeInstance keeps track of all instance specific data, such as the currently
/// playing sequences or the active node transforms.
///
/// TSShapeInstance contains all the functionality for 3space models, while TSShape acts as
/// a repository for common data.
///
/// @section TSShapeInstance_functionality What Does TSShapeInstance Do?
///
/// TSShapeInstance handles several areas of functionality:
///      - Collision.
///      - Rendering.
///      - Animation.
///      - Updating skeletal transforms.
///      - Ballooning (see setShapeBalloon() and getShapeBalloon())
///
/// For an excellent example of how to render a TSShape in game, see TSStatic. For examples
/// of how to procedurally animate models, look at Player::updateLookAnimation().
