## Detailed Description

The Effect type combines a set of techniques and parameters used by those techniques to produce a rendering effect for a material.

An Effect instance should be shared among several Material instances when possible.

A Parameter defined on a Effect overrides parameter (of the same name) defined in Technique and RenderPass, but are overridden by parameter in RenderPassFilter, TechniqueFilter and Material.

Note: Effect node can not be disabled.

     Effect {
         id: effect

         techniques: [
             Technique {
                 id: gl3Technique
                 graphicsApiFilter {
                     api: GraphicsApiFilter.OpenGL
                     profile: GraphicsApiFilter.CoreProfile
                     majorVersion: 3
                     minorVersion: 1
                 }
                 renderPasses: [
                     RenderPass {
                         id: gl3Pass
                         shaderProgram: ShaderProgram {
                             ...
                         }
                     }
                 ]
