The MaterialObject class holds all of the information pertaining to a paticular material used for shading. Individual material attributes are added to a material object using the MaterialObject::AddAttribute function.

One material object can be shared by many Geometry nodes in a world. A material object is assigned to a Geometry node by calling the Geometry::SetMaterialObject function. This increments the material object's reference count, so it is okay to release the material object afterwards. Since the MaterialObject class is a shared object, it is released by calling the Shared::Release function.

Object	A MaterialObject is an object that can be shared by multiple geometry nodes.
MapElement<MaterialObject>	Used internally by the World Manager.
ListElement<MaterialObject>	Used internally by the World Editor.
