  Render the SDL raytracer tutorial example which comes with the documentation
and there you are.

  Why couldn't you? I used it in that tutorial without the need of any third
party program. I just used it and period.

  If the documentation says that mesh2 is *mainly* intended for file
conversions, that doesn't mean that you couldn't use it directly (as I did).

  It's the exact same thing as with bicubic patches: They are mainly intended
for third party programs. However, nothing stops you from using the directly.
