protocol Material

A type that describes the material aspects of a mesh, like color and texture. In RealityKit, a _material_ defines the surface properties of a 3D model. It specifies how RealityKit renders the entity, including its color and whether it’s shiny or reflective. A ``ModelEntity`` may have one material that defines the way RealityKit renders the entire entity, or it may have several that define the look of different parts of the model. RealityKit provides several different material structures for different types of rendering, including ``PhysicallyBasedMaterial``, which is a versatile material capable of simulating real-world objects in a highly realistic manner, and ``UnlitMaterial``, which RealityKit draws with no lighting effects or shadows. If you import a model from a USDZ file, RealityKit automatically creates one or more ``PhysicallyBasedMaterial`` instances from the material properties contained in the file.
