/* workflow:

 1) create a new scene wrapper 
 2) populate an array of of meshHelpers for each mesh in the original scene
 3) (eventually) create an animator instance
 4) scale the asset (needed?)
 5) create the asset data (GL resources, textures etc)
    5a) for each mesh create a material instance
    5b) create a static vertex buffer
    5c) create index buffer
    5d) populate the index buffer
    5e) (eventually) gather weights
