     of the possible ways to implement a special effect. This base class is
     abstract, you will have to subclass your own techniques for your custom
     effects.
     Derived classes will have to implement the define_passes() method to
     configure the rendering pass(es) that make up the technique. Usually
     you will create one StateSet object for each rendering pass and then
     you'll call addPass(stateset).
     The validate() method should return true if the technique is valid within
     the current rendering context, false otherwise. The default implementation
     of validate() calls getRequiredExtensions() and tests whether all required
     extensions are supported or not, returning false if at least one extension
     is not supported.
