Material Abstraction #29
Description
Description
This keeps track of the implementation of the material_t type. We currently don't know whether to have a separate type for each material type or just have a single object that handles types by an enum.
One of the key differences with our previous implementation is that a given material type (e.g. LAMBERT) should be linked to a specific shader (or shader chunk). This is similar to how ThreeJS handles materials, and it looks that their master-shader approach is the best option going onward with our material system implementation.
