  • generating a class file that includes material parameters representing rendering characteristics of a material class;

    generating a library root file that includes a reference to the class file;

    generating a rendering implementation file for translating values of the material parameters into a format recognized by a particular rendering engine;

    generating a user interface file that includes at least one user interface configured to allow a user to modify the values of the material parameters;

    linking the class file to the library root file;

    generating a rendering implementation file structure that includes one or more files that link the class file and the rendering implementation file; and

    generating a user interface file structure that includes one or more files that link the class file and the user interface file.
