History: -Material
Preview of version: 4
Material - A material determines how the surface of a -mesh will appear after beeing rendered. You can e.g. assign -textures, set colours, enable lightning or -shadow-recieving as well as assigning -shaders.
Normally it's just visible from one side (e.g. surface of a -mesh), but this can be changed (e.g. for -water surface). Material properties can be defined by material files or by source code.
