''Materials'' are what the Source engine uses to define which ''textures'' (in .[[VTF]] file format) and [[shaders]] (functions which define how materials are rendered to the screen) are used on ''surfaces'' (models, world surfaces, sprites, etc). Materials are defined by parameters in .[[VMT]] files.
