RenderQueue

A RenderQueue is in charge of storing and sorting the RenderInstances to be rendered. There could be several RenderQueues, for opaque objects, transparent, overlays, etc. RenderQueues are rendered in order of the RnderQueues value. Predefined RenderQueues, such as Backgroud, Geometry, and Transparent, have their drawing order set to that background obects render first, followed by opaque objects, and transparent objects are rendered after everything else.
