Class Material

Material description, usually for a MeshBuffer.

Class Overview

Material()

Structure describing a material with a couple of textures and several settings. Simply create an instance of the material class and set the Type value to one of the known material types or an own material type, created for example with CopperLicht.createMaterialType.

Field Summary
Field Attributes	Field Name and Description
	ClampTexture1 Specifies if the texture wrapping is enabled or not for Texture 1.
<static>	Material.EMT_LIGHTMAP Lightmapped material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material.
<static>	Material.EMT_SOLID Solid material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material.
<static>	Material.EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR Transparent additive material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material.
<static>	Material.EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL Transparent material based on the texture alpha channel, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material.
	Tex1 Texture 1 of this material of type Texture.
	Tex2 Texture 2 of this material of type Texture.
	Type Type of the material.
	ZReadEnabled Specifies if the material is allowed to read from the ZBuffer (DepthTest)
	ZWriteEnabled Specifies if the material is allowed to write into the ZBuffer

Method Summary
Method Attributes	Method Name and Description
	clone()
	isTransparent() Returns true if the described material is transparent, used by SceneNodes to check if they need to register for rendering in transparent or solid mode.
	setFrom(mat)

Field Detail

{Boolean} ClampTexture1

Specifies if the texture wrapping is enabled or not for Texture 1. In OpenGL terms, this simply sets TEXTURE_WRAP to REPEAT or CLAMP_TO_EDGE

<static> Material.EMT_LIGHTMAP

Lightmapped material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material. There should be 2 textures: The first texture layer is a diffuse map, the second is a light map. This is the standard lightmap technique: The lightmap is multiplied onto the first texture.

<static> Material.EMT_SOLID

Solid material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material. Simply a single texture shown as diffuse material.

<static> Material.EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR

Transparent additive material, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material. Only the first texture is used. The new color is calculated by simply adding the source color and the destination color. This means if for example a billboard using a texture with black background and a red circle on it is drawn with this material, the result is that only the red circle will be drawn a little bit transparent, and everything which was black is 100% transparent and not visible.

<static> Material.EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL

Transparent material based on the texture alpha channel, constant for using in Material.Type, specifying the type of the material. The final color is blended together from the destination color and the texture color, using the alpha channel value as blend factor. Only first texture is used

{.} Tex1

Texture 1 of this material of type Texture.

{.} Tex2

Texture 2 of this material of type Texture.

{Number} Type

Type of the material. Default value is Material.EMT_SOLID. You can set any value of the predefined materials to this type, or even create your own material types using Renderer.createMaterialType.

{Boolean} ZReadEnabled

Specifies if the material is allowed to read from the ZBuffer (DepthTest)

{Boolean} ZWriteEnabled

Specifies if the material is allowed to write into the ZBuffer

Method Detail

clone()

isTransparent()

Returns true if the described material is transparent, used by SceneNodes to check if they need to register for rendering in transparent or solid mode.
