extends RefCounted

## Procedural meshes and alpha-cut textures for the seabed flora, built synchronously
## from a seed so no asset is needed and every build is identical: a seagrass tuft
## (three crossed unit quads carrying a strap-blade texture) and a sea fan (one unit
## quad carrying a branching net texture), and three massive coral heads (bumpy
## domes with a flat base: boulder, brain-ridged and lobed). Meshes are unit sized,
## y from 0 to 1.
