 There are equivalent static methods for each of the factory methods that return the vertex and index buffer data as ``std::vector``. These values can be modified, and then used to create a customized geometric primitive or drawn through some other mechanism.

 # Data
 All members of ModelMeshPart are public to facilitate writing custom model loaders and sophisticated rendering solutions. Care should be taken whenever modifying any of these elements as they have interdependencies, and can ultimately be referenced by numerous instances of Model via shared ModelMesh instances.
