-     * This helper function will automatically detect which renderer you should be using. This function is very

-     * This function will likely change and update as webGL performance improves on these devices.

-     * @param [options.view] {HTMLCanvasElement} the canvas to use as a view, optional
-     * @param [options.transparent=false] {boolean} If the render view is transparent, default false
-     * @param [options.antialias=false] {boolean} sets antialias (only applicable in chrome at the moment)
