/*!
 *  \file proto_class.h
 *  Definition of a QuadtreeNode which represents a quad in a Quadtree

  This struct is used to partition big land scapes into smaller ones for different reasons:
    - for collision detection: only a subset of all triangles need to be tested vs a given body
    - for object culling purposes: the quadtrees that are not in the field of view can be ommitted in the draw process
    - for LOD (level of Detail). The models can be drawn using different LODs depending on the distance

  This struct includes all the triangles, vertices, normal informations needed to make something usefull with
  a terrain partition.
