Detailed Description

A class that represents a kind of visual effect that uses an ordered series of techniquees.

A material technique contains an ordered list of techniquees which indicate the different passes that are part of rendering a particular visual effect. These passes are performed in series during rendering in the order stored in the technique.

A material technique may be simply a different visual style (shiny or not shiny) or a totally different rendering technique (standard versus shadow map rendering).
