    If no vertex format is given when the Mesh is created, it will use a default format:

        {
          { 'VertexPosition', 'vec3', 0 },
          { 'VertexNormal', 'vec3', 12 },
          { 'VertexUV', 'vec2', 24 }
        }

    The name of the vertex attribute corresponds to an `in` input variable in a vertex shader.

    There are a few built-in attributes that all shaders will understand and use by default:

    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <td>Name</td>
          <td>Description</td>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td><code>VertexPosition</code></td>
          <td>The position of the vertex.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><code>VertexNormal</code></td>
          <td>The normal vector of the vertex.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><code>VertexUV</code></td>
          <td>The texture coordinate of the vertex.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><code>VertexColor</code></td>
          <td>The color of the vertex (linear color space).</td>

          <td>The tangent vector of the vertex.</td>
