         * * The parameter `diameter` sets the diameter of the top and bottom cap at once (float, default 1).
         * * The parameters `diameterTop` and `diameterBottom` overwrite the parameter `diameter` and set respectively the top cap and bottom cap diameter (floats, default 1). The parameter "diameterBottom" can't be zero.
         * * The parameter `tessellation` sets the number of cylinder sides (positive integer, default 24). Set it to 3 to get a prism for instance.
         * * The parameter `subdivisions` sets the number of rings along the cylinder height (positive integer, default 1).
         * * The parameter `hasRings` (boolean, default false) makes the subdivisions independent from each other, so they become different faces.
         * * The parameter `enclose`  (boolean, default false) adds two extra faces per subdivision to a sliced cylinder to close it around its height axis.
         * * The parameter `arc` (float, default 1) is the ratio (max 1) to apply to the circumference to slice the cylinder.
         * * You can set different colors and different images to each box side by using the parameters `faceColors` (an array of n Color3 elements) and `faceUV` (an array of n Vector4 elements).
         * * The value of n is the number of cylinder faces. If the cylinder has only 1 subdivisions, n equals : top face + cylinder surface + bottom face = 3
         * * Now, if the cylinder has 5 independent subdivisions (hasRings = true), n equals : top face + 5 stripe surfaces + bottom face = 2 + 5 = 7
         * * Finally, if the cylinder has 5 independent subdivisions and is enclose, n equals : top face + 5 x (stripe surface + 2 closing faces) + bottom face = 2 + 5 * 3 = 17
         * * Each array (color or UVs) is always ordered the same way : the first element is the bottom cap, the last element is the top cap. The other elements are each a ring surface.
         * * If `enclose` is false, a ring surface is one element.
         * * If `enclose` is true, a ring surface is 3 successive elements in the array : the tubular surface, then the two closing faces.
