==Notes==
MESA is extremely path-sensitive. Take care to place all scripts in the proper folders. In addition, exported smds will not compile correctly unless Maya scenes and textures are in exactly the right directories.
For scenes, the path is:
%GAME_PROJECT_SRC%\scenes\props
Textures should be in:
%GAME_PROJECT_SRC%\materialsrc\models\props
