Detailed Description

Abstract base interface for renderable materials in Raven.

A Material in Raven represents a collection of shader-bound parameters, such as textures and uniform values (scalars and vectors). It provides a backend-agnostic interface for setting these parameters and binding them to the GPU pipeline. Concrete implementations (e.g., VulkanMaterial) manage the platform-specific details of descriptor sets and resource updates.

Materials are tightly coupled with Shaders — the shader defines the bindings, while the material supplies values for those bindings.
