	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A mesh type optimized for creating geometry manually, similar to OpenGL 1.x immediate mode.
		Here's a sample on how to generate a triangular face:
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var mesh = ImmediateMesh.new()
		mesh.surface_begin(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES)
		mesh.surface_add_vertex(Vector3.LEFT)
		mesh.surface_add_vertex(Vector3.FORWARD)
		mesh.surface_add_vertex(Vector3.ZERO)
		mesh.surface_end()
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		var mesh = new ImmediateMesh();
		mesh.SurfaceBegin(Mesh.PrimitiveType.Triangles);
		mesh.SurfaceAddVertex(Vector3.Left);
		mesh.SurfaceAddVertex(Vector3.Forward);
		mesh.SurfaceAddVertex(Vector3.Zero);
		mesh.SurfaceEnd();
		[/csharp]
		[/codeblocks]
		[b]Note:[/b] Generating complex geometries with [ImmediateMesh] is highly inefficient. Instead, it is designed to generate simple geometry that changes often.
