Initializes a new instance of the Material class

Initializes a new instance of the Material class

Turns on/off support of rendering with emissive bloom.

Turns on/off support of rendering with specular bloom.

Gets/sets function to use as Alpha Test. Pixels not passed alpha test are not passed to render target. See also AlphaTestThreshold property.

Gets/sets threshold value for Alpha Test. Depending on AlphaTestFunction, pixel color's alpha is being tested against this value, and pixel is rejected or accepted for frame buffer.

Optional texture used to mask out ambient light (ambient map or light map).

Gets or sets the owner to which this asset belongs and is a member of.

Indicates that this material can be merged with other during model parts merging

Fires in response to any material property change.

Strongly typed Clone implementation, exposed instead of base Clone. Note that it does not add the material to the library

Owner of this component (contained in it's ".Components" container).

Components that are attached to this Entity.

Defines the Owner of this component as well as the role (i.e. 'slot') that this component fulfills.

Copy settings of this material to another Material instance.

Creates an instance or non-inheriting duplicate of this asset.

Gets/sets custom FX-based material to use instead of high-level Material.

Gets/sets the active technique of .FX material.

Gets/sets name of the custom FX-based material to use instead of high-level Material.

Gets/sets Ogre material used to render.

Gets/sets name of Ogre material used to render.

Gets/sets custom render material to use instead of high-level Material.

Gets/sets additional bias (shift) to the depth of polygons rendered with this material. Polygons with larger depth bias are forced to be in front of polygons with same depth but less depth bias.

Design time property which returns general information about current technique, such as number of light sources supported and their type, auto parameter names.

Design time property which returns an instance of dynamically generated class exposing the list of material properties as public properties.

Design time property which gets/sets the active technique of .FX material.

Gets/sets strength of emissive bloom effect.

Returns error message in case if IsValid gets false. Materials are responsible for update this property during OnPrepareForUse.

Checks for several conditions depending on which this material can (or cannot) be used with given renderable geometry, and change material properties to fullfil this geometry requirements.

BaseSkyRendermaterial overrides this, based on EnableFogOnSky.

Gets/sets glossiness level of material. Less glossiness gives larger specular spot. Can be from 1 to 1000 and more. This property has been replaced with Shininess which is easier to use and should be used instead.

Gets if a prototype has been specified to inherit instance data from.

Gets if a UniqueName is specified to identify this asset with respect to its owner's other members.

Initializes the asset so that it might be prepared for use. By default, PrepareForUse() is called from this method as well.

Set material state to 'not up-to-date' and schedule full update when material is going to be rendered next time.

Indicates if Instance was created by Deserialization.

Indicates if resource has been disposed.

Indicates if resource is in process of Disposing but not fully disposed.

Gets if this entity is currently in an initialized (and non-disposed) state.

Turns uniform lighting on/off. Is set to true, diffuse and specular light will not take normal vectors in account, and normal map and specular lighting will be forced to off.

Indicate that material was just created and has initial state. Resets to false after at least one property has been changed.

Gets/sets read-only mode for material. If material is in this mode, any changes made to it's properties will not affect on resulting rendering output. Initial material setup must be performed before 1st call of PrepareForUse method.

Gets/sets if asset is ready to be used. Can be set to 'true' in class constructor in order to skip Preparation logic.

Indicates if the component is to be Saved when the owning context is saved (e.g. for components in your scene, this controls whether or not they are saved to the scene file when the scene is saved). Typically objects are 'Saved', unless they are transient to be programmatically created each time.

Returns true if material is valid. Unless material become ready for use, this property will return false. Actual value will be returned after first PrepareForUse call. Materials are responsible for update IsValid flag during OnPrepareForUse. See also ErrorMessage property for detailed error info.

Gets/sets material class, which defines general way to customize and use Material - i.e. use Ogre material or custom material, or customizable high-level material.

Custom assined maximum number of lights per pass. If 0 or less, material will try to calculate this value on i'ts own.

Gets/sets optional multiplifier for normal map strength.

Gets/sets constant transparency value (0 for fully transparent, 1 for opaque).

Gets/sets virtual height of parallax effect, in range 0 to 1.

Turns point sprite rendering mode ON/OFF. Use it for PointList geometry type. Default is false.

When PointSpriteEnable is set to true, defines a screen-space size of point sprites rendererd.

Attempts to prepare asset for use. To be sure, check "IsReadyForUse" after calling this method to ensure it's really ready for use before using it.

Gets or sets the prototype, if specified, from which this asset inherits instance data.

Optional override of solid/wireframe render mode.

Resets material to default state.

Gets/sets threshold value for Alpha Test when rendering shadows of semitransparent object. Depending on AlphaTestFunction, pixel color's alpha is being tested against this value, and pixel is rejected or accepted for shadow map.

Gets/Sets the source file for this program.

Gets/sets strength of specular bloom effect.

Optional Near distances to fade in when camera is too close. Set to null for no fade. Use TransparencyFadeMinValue to control min value of fade.

If TransparencyFadeDistances has non-null value, this property gets/sets lowest transparency modifier to use for fade. Default is 0 (material will become fully transparent at too far/close distances).

Optional Far distances to fade in when camera is too far. Set to null for no fade. Use TransparencyFadeMinValue to control min value of fade.

Gets/sets texture used as transparency map. Only one channel of this texture is used (Alpha or Red, if alpha is not found). You can specify what channel to use via TransparencyMap.ChannelMap properties.

Fires after material update after property changes has been completed.
