bufferAllocatorThe allocator object to use for loading or creating mesh data associated with the asset, or
nilto use a default allocator.

Discussion
Use this initializer when you want to programmatically populate an asset with content (for example, for use in exporting to a file) while controlling the allocation of mesh data buffers associated with the asset. For example, to use the MetalKit framework for loading vertex data into GPU buffers for rendering using Metal, pass a MTKMesh object for the buffer parameter.
