The MaterialObject3D class is the base class for all materials.

Materials collects data about how objects appear when rendered.

A material is data that you assign to objects or faces, so that they appear a certain way when rendered. Materials affect the line and fill colors.

Materials create greater realism in a scene. A material describes how an object reflects or transmits light.

You assign materials to individual objects or a selection of faces; a single object can contain different materials.

MaterialObject3D is an abstract base class; therefore, you cannot call MaterialObject3D directly.
