SoMaterialBinding — node that specifies how multiple materials are bound to shapes

SoGLRenderAction,SoCallbackAction
          Sets the current material binding type.

       This  node  specifies  how the current materials are bound to shapes that follow in the scene graph. Each
       shape node may interpret bindings differently. The current material always has a  base  value,  which  is
       defined  by  the  first value of all material fields. Since material fields may have multiple values, the
       binding determines how these values are distributed over a shape.

       The bindings for faces and vertices are meaningful only for shapes that are made from faces and vertices.
       Similarly, the indexed bindings are only used by the shapes that allow indexing.

       The bindings apply only to  diffuse  colors  and  transparency.   Other  materials  (emissive,  specular,
       ambient,  shininess)  will  have  the first value applied to the entire shape, regardless of the material
       binding or the number provided.

       If the number of transparencies is less than the number of diffuse colors, only  the  first  transparency
       value  will  be used, regardless of the material binding. If the number of diffuse colors in the state is
       less than the number required for the given binding, a debug warning will be  printed  and  unpredictable
       colors will result.
