I'm working on something that might completely ignore the material settings in the .ac file, but I think that's OK. I'm adding support for effects files that specify, in addition to the material and parameter properties we have now in the .ac file, shaders, uniform parameters for the shaders, fallbacks for environments that don't have shaders. So far I've been working with the terrain, but my idea for models is to associate an effect with a material in the .ac file by using the material's name.
There will more to comment on when I check in the first effects stuff later this week.
