 		[Material] is a base resource used for coloring and shading geometry. All materials inherit from it and almost all [VisualInstance3D] derived nodes carry a [Material]. A few flags and parameters are shared between all material types and are configured here.
+		Importantly, you can inherit from [Material] to create your own custom material type in script or in GDExtension.

This is because all transparent objects are drawn after all opaque objects and all dynamic opaque meshes are drawn before other opaque meshes.
