//! Called by the IVideoDriver implementation the let the renderer set its needed render states.
/** This is called during the IVideoDriver::setMaterial() call.
When overriding this, you can set some renderstates or for example a
vertex or pixel shader if you like.
\param material: The new material parameters to be set. The renderer
may change the material flags in this material. For example if this
material does not accept the zbuffer = true, it can set it to false.
This is useful, because in the next lastMaterial will be just the
material in this call.
\param lastMaterial: The material parameters which have been set before
this material.
\param resetAllRenderstates: True if all renderstates should really be
reset. This is usually true if the last rendering mode was not a usual
3d rendering mode, but for example a 2d rendering mode.
You should reset really all renderstates if this is true, no matter if
the lastMaterial had some similar settings. This is used because in
most cases, some common renderstates are not changed if they are
already there, for example bilinear filtering, wireframe,
gouraudshading, lighting, zbuffer, zwriteenable, backfaceculling and
fogenable.
\param services: Interface providing some methods for changing
advanced, internal states of a IVideoDriver. */

/** OnSetMaterial should normally only be called if the renderer decides
that the renderstates should be changed, it won't be called if for
example two drawIndexedTriangleList() will be called with the same
material set. This method will be called every time. This is useful for
example for materials with shaders, which don't only set new
renderstates but also shader constants.
\param service: Pointer to interface providing methods for setting
constants and other things.
\param vtxtype: Vertex type with which the next rendering will be done.
This can be used by the material renderer to set some specific
optimized shaders or if this is an incompatible vertex type for this
renderer, to refuse rendering for example.
\return Returns true if everything is OK, and false if nothing should
be rendered. The material renderer can choose to return false for
example if he doesn't support the specified vertex type. This is
actually done in D3D9 when using a normal mapped material with
a vertex type other than EVT_TANGENTS. */

are implemented in multiple ways and need special hardware capabilities, it is possible
to query how the current material renderer is performing on the current hardware with this
function.
\return Returns 0 if everything is running fine. Any other value is material renderer
specific and means for example that the renderer switched back to a fall back material because
it cannot use the latest shaders. More specific examples:
Fixed function pipeline materials should return 0 in most cases, parallax mapped
material will only return 0 when at least pixel shader 1.4 is available on that machine. */
