A custom shader program.
</brief_description>
<description>
- This class allows you to define a custom shader program that can be used for various materials to render objects.
+ This class allows you to define a custom shader program that can be used by a [ShaderMaterial]. Shaders allow you to write your own custom behavior for rendering objects or updating particle information. For a detailed explanation and usage, please see the tutorials linked below.
