MeshStorage

Whether a Mesh stores its data on the CPU or GPU.

Value	Description
cpu	The Mesh will store a copy of the vertices on the CPU.
gpu	The Mesh will not keep a CPU copy, only storing vertices on the GPU.

Notes

There are some significant differences and tradeoffs between the two modes:

CPU meshes store a second copy of the vertices in RAM, which can be expensive for large meshes.
When vertices are modified, CPU meshes will update the CPU copy, and only upload to the GPU the next time the Mesh is drawn. GPU meshes, on the other hand, will immediately upload modified vertices to the GPU. This means that calling Mesh:setVertices multiple times per frame will be faster with a CPU mesh.
CPU meshes have an internal vertex buffer that can't be accessed from Lua.
CPU meshes can compute their bounding box using Mesh:computeBoundingBox. GPU meshes can't.
