TXMT/MaterialTypes
Material Types are basically graphical assembly functions responsible for the pixel value manipulation for given regions of a monitor screen.
A material type is a group of materials with certain graphical properties defined [b]in[/b] the type. Generally in TS2, a material type definition is found in material shaders (matShad). Yet, sometimes, certain codes are hard-implemented into the exe files or alike.
Inside a TS2 material definition: material is parallel to material; pass to pass; shader to shader; sampler to sampler; stage to stage, etc... Not all the possible components are necessary for a particular material type.
The input for the material type of a given txmt file or certain animation bhav codes/commands/lines or hard-codes are to call and activate the corresponding material type function and/or its sub-functions.
For different purposes of usages, there're 2 listings of the similar contents of material types.
