<description>
A material that uses a custom [Shader] program to render either items to screen or process particles. You can create multiple materials for the same shader but configure different values for the uniforms defined in the shader.

<description>
Changes the value set for this material of a uniform in the shader.
[b]Note:[/b] [param param] is case-sensitive and must match the name of the uniform in the code exactly (not the capitalized name in the inspector).
[b]Note:[/b] Changes to the shader uniform will be effective on all instances using this [ShaderMaterial]. To prevent this, use per-instance uniforms with [method GeometryInstance3D.set_instance_shader_parameter] or duplicate the [ShaderMaterial] resource using [method Resource.duplicate]. Per-instance uniforms allow for better shader reuse and are therefore faster, so they should be preferred over duplicating the [ShaderMaterial] when possible.
