Inheritance diagram for Material:

Detailed Description

The material with the Mmaterial type.

Note
Has to be created with Alloc() and destroyed with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Alloc()

static Material* Alloc ( )
static

Allocates a material. Destroy the allocated material with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Returns
The allocated material, or nullptr if the allocation failed.

◆ Free()

static void Free ( Material *&  bl)
static

Destructs materials allocated with Alloc(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Parameters
[in]blThe material to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.

◆ GetChannelState()

Bool GetChannelState ( Int32  channel)

Gets the state of a channel (if it is enabled or disabled).

Parameters
[in]channelThe channel type: CHANNEL
Returns
true if the channel is enabled for this material, otherwise false.

◆ SetChannelState()

void SetChannelState ( Int32  channel,
Bool  state 
)

Sets the state of a channel (if it is enabled or disabled).

Parameters
[in]channelThe type of the channel to enable or disable: CHANNEL
[in]statetrue to enable the given channel, otherwise false.

◆ AddReflectionLayer()

ReflectionLayer* AddReflectionLayer ( )

Adds a reflection/specular layer.

Since
R16
Returns
The added reflection/specular layer. Cinema 4D owns the pointed layer.

◆ GetReflectionLayerID()

ReflectionLayer* GetReflectionLayerID ( Int32  id)

Retrieves a reflection/specular layer by ID.

Since
R16
Parameters
[in]idThe layer ID.
Returns
The reflection/specular layer. Cinema 4D owns the pointed layer.

◆ GetReflectionLayerIndex()

ReflectionLayer* GetReflectionLayerIndex ( Int32  index)

Retrieves a reflection/specular layer by index.

Since
R16
Parameters
[in]indexThe layer index.
Returns
The reflection/specular layer. Cinema 4D owns the pointed layer.

◆ GetReflectionLayerTrans()

ReflectionLayer* GetReflectionLayerTrans ( )

Retrieves the transparency layer.

Since
R16
Returns
The transparency layer, or nullptr if not available. Cinema 4D owns the pointed layer.

◆ GetReflectionLayerCount() [1/2]

Int32 GetReflectionLayerCount ( )

Retrieves the number of reflection/specular layers.

Since
R16
Returns
The reflection/specular layers' count.

◆ GetReflectionLayerCount() [2/2]

Int32 GetReflectionLayerCount ( Bool  includeTransparencyLayers)

Retrieves the number of reflection/specular layers. Transparency layers can be optionally included in the count.

Since
S22
Parameters
[in]includeTransparencyLayersSpecifies if transparency layers should be included in the count.
Returns
The reflection/specular layers' count.

◆ RemoveReflectionLayerID()

void RemoveReflectionLayerID ( Int32  id)

Removes a reflection/specular layer by ID.

Since
R16
Parameters
[in]idThe layer ID.

◆ RemoveReflectionLayerIndex()

void RemoveReflectionLayerIndex ( Int32  index)

Removes a reflection/specular layer by index.

Since
R16
Parameters
[in]indexThe layer index.

◆ RemoveReflectionAllLayers()

void RemoveReflectionAllLayers ( )

Deletes all reflection/specular layers.

Since
R16

◆ GetAllReflectionShaders()

void GetAllReflectionShaders ( maxon::BaseArray< BaseShader * > &  shaders)

Retrieves all the reflection/specular shaders.

Since
R16
Parameters
[out]shadersAssigned all the reflection/specular shaders. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shaders.

◆ GetReflectionPrimaryLayers()

Int32 specular_layer 
)

Retrieves the indices to the primary reflection and specular layers (can be -1 for empty).

Since
R16
Parameters
[out]reflection_layerThe most significant reflection layer.
[out]specular_layerThe most significant specular layer.
