		A [Resource] that contains vertex array-based geometry.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Mesh is a type of [Resource] that contains vertex array-based geometry, divided in [i]surfaces[/i]. Each surface contains a completely separate array and a material used to draw it. Design wise, a mesh with multiple surfaces is preferred to a single surface, because objects created in 3D editing software commonly contain multiple materials. The maximum number of surfaces per mesh is [constant RenderingServer.MAX_MESH_SURFACES].
