             It's important to appreciate that this method can fundamentally change the structure of your
             vertex buffers, although in reality they will be new buffers. As it happens, if other 
             objects are using the original buffers then they will be unaffected because the reference
             counting will keep them intact. However, if you have made any assumptions about the 
             structure of the vertex data in the buffers of this object, you may have to rethink them.
