Detailed Description

The Material node specifies surface material properties for associated geometry nodes and is used by the X3D lighting equations during rendering.

See the Lighting component of the X3D specification for a detailed description of the X3D lighting model equations. All of the fields in the Material node range from 0.0 to 1.0.

The fields in the Material node determine how light reflects off an object to create colour:

Examples:

Member Function Documentation

◆ getAffectedGLAttribs()

virtual GLbitfield H3D::Material::getAffectedGLAttribs ( )
inlinevirtual

Returns a bitmask of the OpenGL attrib bits that will be affected by this node.

The value can be used in glPushAttrib in order to save the current state.

Reimplemented from H3D::X3DAppearanceChildNode.

Member Data Documentation

◆ ambientIntensity

H3DUniquePtr< SFFloat > H3D::Material::ambientIntensity

The ambientIntensity field specifies how much ambient light from light sources this surface shall reflect.

Ambient light is omnidirectional and depends only on the number of light sources, not their positions with respect to the surface. Ambient colour is calculated as ambientIntensity × diffuseColor.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: 0.2
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().

◆ diffuseColor

H3DUniquePtr< SFColor > H3D::Material::diffuseColor

The diffuseColor field reflects all light sources depending on the angle of the surface with respect to the light source.

The more directly the surface faces the light, the more diffuse light reflects.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: RGB( 0.8, 0.8, 0.8 )
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().

◆ emissiveColor

H3DUniquePtr< SFColor > H3D::Material::emissiveColor

The emissiveColor field models "glowing" objects.

This can be useful for displaying pre-lit models (where the light energy of the room is computed explicitly), or for displaying scientific data.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: RGB( 0, 0, 0 )
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().

◆ shininess

H3DUniquePtr< SFFloat > H3D::Material::shininess

Shininess effect the specular highlights.

Lower shininess values produce soft glows, while higher values result in sharper, smaller highlights.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: 0.2
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().

◆ specularColor

H3DUniquePtr< SFColor > H3D::Material::specularColor

The color of the specular highlights.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: RGB( 0, 0, 0 )
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().

◆ transparency

H3DUniquePtr< SFFloat > H3D::Material::transparency

The transparency field specifies how "clear" an object is, with 1.0 being completely transparent, and 0.0 completely opaque.

Access type: inputOutput
Default value: 0
Valid range: [0-1]

Referenced by Material(), and render().
