| Note: Lighting materials are usually not unique to a specific SOD but used by multiple SODs. As this is the case, loading can be expedited considerably by not loading lighting materials anew for each SOD, but looking for already loaded materials from previously loaded SODs. One implication of that is, that the materials are consistent across SODs.
