MaterialManager

Manage materials.

Creation 

To create a material, first retrieve the class associated to the pipeline using getTemplate:

1const PhongMaterial = engine.materials.getTemplate('Phong Opaque');

Creating a material is then done using the constructor:

1const material = new PhongMaterial();
2material.setDiffuseColor([1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]);
