		delete [] lensBlurData;
	}
	
	// Load a material
	H3DRes material = h3dAddResource( H3DResTypes::Material, "materials/grid.material.xml", 0 );
	h3dutLoadResourcesFromDisk( _contentDir.c_str() );

	// Create a model/mesh from the procedural geo
	H3DNode model = h3dAddModelNode( H3DRootNode, "MyModel", gridGeo );
	H3DNode mesh = h3dAddMeshNode( model, "MyMesh", material, batchStart, batchCount, vertRStart, vertREnd );
