//! Material system for RigidModel files.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! Materials define how meshes are rendered in Total War games. Each material type
//! has specific properties that control textures, shaders, vertex formats, and
//! rendering behavior. The material system supports 40+ different material types
//! for various rendering scenarios.
//!
//! # Material Types
//!
//! Materials are categorized by their rendering purpose:
//!
//! ## Standard Rendering
//! - **DefaultMaterial (68)**: Full-featured material for most meshes
//! - **Decal (71)**: Applied decals on surfaces
//! - **Tree (74)**, **TreeLeaf (75)**: Vegetation rendering
//! - **Grass (69)**: Grass
//! - **Water (83)**: Water surfaces
//! - **Unlit (84)**: No lighting calculations
//!
//! ## Skeletal Animation (Weighted)
//! - **WeightedSkin (70)**: Character skin with bone weights
//! - **WeightedCloth (58)**, **Cloth (60)**: Cloth simulation
//! - **Weighted (65)**: Generic weighted material
//!
//! ## Terrain
//! - **RsTerrain (66)**: Minimal terrain material
//! - **CustomTerrain (49)**, **GlobalTerrain (98)**: Terrain variants
//! - **WeightedTextureBlend (96)**, **TerrainBlend (86)**: Texture blending
//! - **TiledDirtmap (63)**: Tiled dirt textures
//!
//! ## Special Effects
//! - **Collision (61)**, **CollisionShape (62)**: Collision meshes (invisible)
//! - **DebugGeometry (46)**: Debug visualization
//! - **PointLight (38)**, **StaticPointLight (45)**: Light sources
//! - **Rope (93)**: Rope rendering
//!
//! ## Projected Decals
//! - **ProjectedDecal (67)**, **ProjectedDecalV2 (87)**, **ProjectedDecalV3 (95)**, **ProjectedDecalV4 (97)**
//!
//! # Material Data Structure
//!
//! Materials contain:
//! - **Vertex format**: Determines vertex data layout
//! - **Textures**: Diffuse, normal, specular, masks, etc.
//! - **Transformation matrices**: 3x4 matrices for positioning/attachment
//! - **Attachment points**: Named locations for effects/weapons
//! - **Shader parameters**: Strings, floats, integers, vectors
//! - **Cloth-specific data**: Physics simulation parameters (cloth materials only)
//!
//! # Texture Types
//!
//! Materials reference textures by type:
//! - **Diffuse (0)**: Base color texture
//! - **Normal (1)**: Normal mapping for surface detail
//! - **Specular (11)**, **GlossMap (12)**: Reflectivity
//! - **Mask (3)**: Alpha/transparency mask
//! - **AmbientOcclusion (5)**: Baked ambient lighting
//! - **Decal variants**: Special decal textures
//!
//! # Implementation Details
//!
//! Different material types have different data structures:
//! - **Default materials**: Full data (textures, params, attachment points)
//! - **RsTerrain**: Minimal (name + 5 unknown u32 fields)
//! - **WeightedTextureBlend**: Name + 6 unknown u32 fields
//! - **AlphaBlend**: Name only
//! - **Cloth**: Default data + cloth simulation sections (uk_7, uk_8, uk_9)
//!
//! See individual material variant modules for format-specific details.
