Particle manager documentation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All particle effects are managed by a class called CParticleMgr. It tracks 
the list of particles, manages their materials, sorts the particles, and
has callbacks to render them.

Conceptually, CParticleMgr is NOT part of VEngine's entity system. It does
not care about entities, only particle effects. Usually, the two are implemented
together, but you should be aware the CParticleMgr talks to you through its
own interfaces and does not talk to entities. Thus, it is possible to have
particle effects that are not entities.

To make a particle effect, you need two things: 

1. An implementation of the IParticleEffect interface. This is how CParticleMgr 
   talks to you for things like rendering and updating your effect.

2. A (member) variable of type CParticleEffectBinding. This allows CParticleMgr to 
   store its internal data associated with your effect.

Once you have those two things, you call CParticleMgr::AddEffect and pass them
both in. You will then get updates through IParticleEffect::Update, and you will
be asked to render your particles with IParticleEffect::SimulateAndRender.

When you want to remove the effect, call CParticleEffectBinding::SetRemoveFlag(), which
tells CParticleMgr to remove the effect next chance it gets.

Example class:

	class CMyEffect : public IParticleEffect
	{
	public:
		// Call this to start the effect by adding it to the particle manager.
		void			Start()
		{
			ParticleMgr()->AddEffect( &m_ParticleEffect, this );
		}

		// implementation of IParticleEffect functions go here...

	public:
		CParticleEffectBinding	m_ParticleEffect;
	};



How the particle effects are integrated with the entity system
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two helper classes that you can use to create particles for your
entities. Each one is useful under different conditions.

1. CSimpleEmitter is a class that does some of the dirty work of using particles.
   If you want, you can just instantiate one of these with CSimpleEmitter::Create
   and call its AddParticle functions to add particles. When you are done and 
   want to 'free' it, call its Release function rather than deleting it, and it
   will wait until all of its particles have gone away before removing itself
   (so you don't have to write code to wait for all of the particles to go away).

   In most cases, it is the easiest and most clear to use CSimpleEmitter or
   derive a class from it, then use that class from inside an entity that wants
   to make particles.

   CSimpleEmitter and derived classes handle adding themselves to the particle
   manager, tracking how many particles in the effect are active, and 
   rendering the particles.

   CSimpleEmitter has code to simulate and render particles in a generic fashion,
   but if you derive a class from it, you can override some of its behavior
   with virtuals like UpdateAlpha, UpdateScale, UpdateColor, etc..

   Example code:
		CSimpleEmitter *pEmitter = CSimpleEmitter::Create();
		
		CEffectMaterialHandle hMaterial = pEmitter->GetCEffectMaterial( "mymaterial" );
		
		for( int i=0; i < 100; i++ )
			pEmitter->AddParticle( hMaterial, RandomVector(0,10), 4 );

		pEmitter->Release();

2. Some older effects derive from C_BaseParticleEffect and implement an entity 
   and a particle system at the same time. This gets nasty and is not encouraged anymore.
