## Description

**MaterialBinder** is a scriptable object which takes references of shaders given by user to 

generate material binding scripts that limit work needed to use the material with specified

shader in scripts. Generated material binding types are easy to use and saves user from typing 

shader variable names, thus reducing possible errors.
