Meta_IRayMaterialInstance

An IRayMaterialInstance consists of a link to a Meta_IRayMaterialDefinition node.

The parameters for the material definition's arguments are selectively specified by creating Meta_MaterialArgument nodes added as children of this node with default values taken from the equivalent argument in the material definition. In other words, the default values in the material definitions child arguments can be overridden by creating the same metadata child on this node.
