Member Data Documentation

§ AmbientColor

SColor irr::video::SMaterial::AmbientColor

How much ambient light (a global light) is reflected by this material.

The default is full white, meaning objects are completely globally illuminated. Reduce this if you want to see diffuse or specular light effects.

Definition at line 306 of file SMaterial.h.

Referenced by operator!=(), and operator=().

§ AntiAliasing

u8 irr::video::SMaterial::AntiAliasing

Sets the antialiasing mode.

Values are chosen from E_ANTI_ALIASING_MODE. Default is EAAM_SIMPLE|EAAM_LINE_SMOOTH, i.e. simple multi-sample anti-aliasing and lime smoothing is enabled.

Definition at line 372 of file SMaterial.h.

Referenced by irr::video::SOverrideMaterial::apply(), operator!=(), and operator=().

§ BackfaceCulling

bool irr::video::SMaterial::BackfaceCulling

Is backface culling enabled? Default: true.

Definition at line 425 of file SMaterial.h.

Referenced by irr::video::SOverrideMaterial::apply(), getFlag(), operator!=(), operator=(), and setFlag().

§ BlendOperation

E_BLEND_OPERATION irr::video::SMaterial::BlendOperation

Store the blend operation of choice.

Values to be chosen from E_BLEND_OPERATION. The actual way to use this value is not yet determined, so ignore it for now.

Definition at line 392 of file SMaterial.h.

Referenced by irr::video::SOverrideMaterial::apply(), getFlag(), operator!=(), operator=(), and setFlag().

§ ColorMask

u8 irr::video::SMaterial::ColorMask

Defines the enabled color planes.

Values are defined as or'ed values of the E_COLOR_PLANE enum. Only enabled color planes will be rendered to the current render target. Typical use is to disable all colors when rendering only to depth or stencil buffer, or using Red and Green for Stereo rendering.

Definition at line 379 of file SMaterial.h.

Referenced by irr::video::SOverrideMaterial::apply(), getFlag(), operator!=(), operator=(), and setFlag().

§ ColorMaterial

u8 irr::video::SMaterial::ColorMaterial

Defines the interpretation of vertex color in the lighting equation.

Values should be chosen from E_COLOR_MATERIAL. When lighting is enabled, vertex color can be used instead of the material values for light modulation. This allows to easily change e.g. the diffuse light behavior of each face. The default, ECM_DIFFUSE, will result in a very similar rendering as with lighting turned off, just with light shading.

§ PolygonOffsetDirection

§ Shininess

f32 irr::video::SMaterial::Shininess

Value affecting the size of specular highlights.

A value of 20 is common. If set to 0, no specular highlights are being used. To activate, simply set the shininess of a material to a value in the range [0.5;128]:

sceneNode->getMaterial(0).Shininess = 20.0f;

You can change the color of the highlights using

sceneNode->getMaterial(0).SpecularColor.set(255,255,255,255);

The specular color of the dynamic lights (SLight::SpecularColor) will influence the the highlight color too, but they are set to a useful value by default when creating the light scene node. Here is a simple example on how to use specular highlights:

// load and display mesh
scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(
smgr->getMesh("data/faerie.md2"));
node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("data/Faerie2.pcx")); // set diffuse texture
node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, true); // enable dynamic lighting
node->getMaterial(0).Shininess = 20.0f; // set size of specular highlights
// add white light
scene::ILightSceneNode* light = smgr->addLightSceneNode(0,
core::vector3df(5,5,5), video::SColorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f));
