	Implement the IShaderConstantSetCallBack in an own class and implement your own
	OnSetConstants method using the given IMaterialRendererServices interface.
	Pass a pointer to this class to one of the methods in IGPUProgrammingServices
	when creating a shader. The OnSetConstants method will now be called every time
	before geometry is being drawn using your shader material. A sample implementation
	would look like this:
	\code
	virtual void OnSetConstants(video::IMaterialRendererServices* services, s32 userData)
	{
		video::IVideoDriver* driver = services->getVideoDriver();

		// set clip matrix at register 4
		core::matrix4 worldViewProj(driver->getTransform(video::ETS_PROJECTION));
		worldViewProj *= driver->getTransform(video::ETS_VIEW);
		worldViewProj *= driver->getTransform(video::ETS_WORLD);
		services->setVertexShaderConstant(&worldViewProj.M[0], 4, 4);
		// for high level shading languages, this would be another solution:
		//services->setVertexShaderConstant("mWorldViewProj", worldViewProj.M, 16);

		// set some light color at register 9
		video::SColorf col(0.0f,1.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
		services->setVertexShaderConstant(reinterpret_cast<const f32*>(&col), 9, 1);
		// for high level shading languages, this would be another solution:
		//services->setVertexShaderConstant("myColor", reinterpret_cast<f32*>(&col), 4);
	}
	\endcode
	\param services: Pointer to an interface providing methods to set the constants for the shader.
	\param userData: Userdata int which can be specified when creating the shader.
