C# Класс Axiom.Graphics.Material

Applies texture names to Texture Unit State with matching texture name aliases. All techniques, passes, and Texture Unit States within the material are checked. If matching texture aliases are found then true is returned.

Creates a copy of this Material with the specified name (must be unique).

Used for comparing 2 Material objects.

This comparison will be used in RenderQueue group sorting of Materials materials. If this object is transparent and the object being compared is not, this is greater that obj. If this object is not transparent and the object being compared is, obj is greater than this.

'Compiles' this Material.

Compiling a material involves determining which Techniques are supported on the card on which the engine is currently running, and for fixed-function Passes within those Techniques, splitting the passes down where they contain more TextureUnitState instances than the current card has texture units.

This process is automatically done when the Material is loaded, but may be repeated if you make some procedural changes.By default, the engine will automatically split texture unit operations into multiple passes when the target hardware does not have enough texture units.

Copies the details from the supplied material.

Creates a new Technique for this Material.

A Technique is a single way of rendering geometry in order to achieve the effect you are intending in a material. There are many reason why you would want more than one - the main one being to handle variable graphics card abilities; you might have one technique which is impressive but only runs on 4th-generation graphics cards, for example. In this case you will want to create at least one fallback Technique. The engine will work out which Techniques a card can support and pick the best one.

If multiple Techniques are available, the order in which they are created is important - the engine will consider lower-indexed Techniques to be preferable to higher-indexed Techniques, ie when asked for the 'best' technique it will return the first one in the technique list which is supported by the hardware.

Gets the best supported technique.

This method returns the lowest-index supported Technique in this material (since lower-indexed Techniques are considered to be better than higher-indexed ones).

The best supported technique is only available after this material has been compiled, which typically happens on loading the material. Therefore, if this method returns null, try calling Material.Load.

Overridden to give Materials a meaningful hash code.

Gets the LOD index to use at the given distance.

The value passed in is the 'transformed' value. If you are dealing with an original source value (e.g. distance), use to turn this into a lookup value.

Gets the technique at the specified index.

Removes all techniques from this material.

Removes the specified Technique from this material.

Sets the fogging mode applied to each pass.

This property has been moved to the Pass class, which is accessible via the Technique. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current Technique, and for every current Pass within those Techniques. If you need more precision, retrieve the Technique and Pass instances and set the property there.

Sets the distance at which level-of-detail (LOD) levels come into effect.

You should only use this if you have assigned LOD indexes to the Technique instances attached to this Material. If you have done so, you should call this method to determine the distance at which the low levels of detail kick in. The decision about what distance is actually used is a combination of this and the LOD bias applied to both the current Camera and the current Entity.

Allows very fine control of blending every Pass with the existing contents of the scene.

This property has been moved to the Pass class, which is accessible via the Technique. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current Technique, and for every current Pass within those Techniques. If you need more precision, retrieve the Technique and Pass instances and set the property there.

Sets the kind of blending every pass has with the existing contents of the scene.

This property has been moved to the Pass class, which is accessible via the Technique. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current Technique, and for every current Pass within those Techniques. If you need more precision, retrieve the Technique and Pass instances and set the property there.

Overridden.

Overridden to ensure a recompile occurs if needed before use.

Calculate the size of a material; this will only be called after 'load'

Overridden to ensure a release of techniques.

Overridden from Resource.

By default, Materials are not loaded, and adding additional textures etc do not cause those textures to be loaded. When the Load method is called, all textures are loaded (if they are not already), GPU programs are created if applicable, and Controllers are instantiated. Once a material has been loaded, all changes made to it are immediately loaded too

Unloads the material, frees resources etc. Resource

Tells the material that it needs recompilation.
