In our experience we found it easier to manage shaders and models separately,
as
the shaders that work in the runtime don't necessarily work in the modeler
anyway (e.g. no shadow maps). Most modelers are not really shader writers, so
if
they know how to do shaders at all, they use a small number of them.
In our current system we just use the modeling system to create the geometry
and
texture coordinates and assign a diffuse/specular/normal texture, and the
shader
is added later based on a regex match with the model name when it is loaded
into
the runtime.
This works well if you don't have a lot of different shaders, but rather a lot
of different models with the same structure.
