-<span id="Meshes-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">5.3.11 Meshes</h4>
-
-<p>The <code>(chickadee graphics mesh)</code> modules provides procedures for
-programmatically creating 3D objects (to load 3D models from a file on
-disk, see <a href="#Meshes">Meshes</a>.)
-</p>
-<span id="Materials"></span><h4 class="subsubsection">5.3.11.1 Materials</h4>
-
-<p>Before we talk about meshes themselves, let&rsquo;s discuss &ldquo;materials.&rdquo;
-Materials control the appearance of 3D objects. Whether an object
-appears like a rough rock, a smooth and shiny metal, etc. depends on
-the material that is applied to it. Different types of materials use
-different lighting models. Chickadee supports two lighting models:
-The classic Blinn-Phong model and a more modern physically based
-rendering (PBR) model.
-</p>
-<p>All materials share some common data:
-</p>
