WebGLRenderer render type definition

[martinRenou]

Description of the problem

When using ThreeJS in JavaScript I was able to render only one mesh (without using a Scene) doing:

renderer.setRenderTarget(my_target);
renderer.clear();

renderer.render(my_mesh, camera);

This is very useful for doing some pre-processing things (in my case, rendering water caustics in shaders using a water mesh as input).

My issue is that I cannot perform the same in TypeScript, the render method takes a Scene as first argument, so my code does not compile.

Should I open a PR fixing the type definition? I don't see any documentation specifying that my code is valid (that the render method can actually take a mesh as input).

Three.js version

Yes, please update the TS file and docs. It was lately discussed that your approach is valid, see #19477.

Perfect. I will do that today. Thank you
