// AUTHOR       : Angel Ortiz (angelo12 AT vt DOT edu)
// CREATE DATE  : 2018-07-03
// PURPOSE      : Container for all of the data realted to a model such as texture data,
//                mesh data and even a model matrix for transformations.
//                It has an update method that could be called based on physics updates
//                but is not much more than a stub.
// ===============================
// SPECIAL NOTES: Should probably be rewritten to be a struct instead of having to use
// all of these useless getters. This class is little more than a glorified container.
// ===============================
