Member Function Documentation

◆ Alloc()

static BaseMaterial* Alloc ( Int32 type )

static

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

Parameters

[in] type The material type: Material Types

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

◆ Free()

static void Free ( BaseMaterial *& bl )

static

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

Parameters

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

◆ GetNext()

BaseMaterial* GetNext ( void )

Gets the next material in the list. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetNext() returning a BaseMaterial*.

Returns: The next material, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed base material.

◆ GetPred()

BaseMaterial* GetPred ( void )

Gets the previous material in the list. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetPred() returning a BaseMaterial*.

Returns: The previous material, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed base material.

◆ Update()

void Update	(	Bool	preview,
		Bool	rttm
	)

Recalculates the material's thumbnail and updates its internal values.

Note: Recalculating the thumbnail/RTTM image is time intensive. It only needs to be done to let the user change the view. The calculations are done asynchronously.

Parameters

[in]	preview	If true the preview thumbnail will be updated.
[in]	rttm	If true the real time texture map of the material will be recalculated.

◆ GetChannel()

BaseChannel* GetChannel ( Int32 id )

Retrieves the channel associated with a standard Material, such as the color channel or bump channel.

Warning: Only works with standard materials of type Mmaterial. For plugin materials this method does nothing and return nullptr.

Parameters

[in] id The channel type: CHANNEL

Returns: The requested channel, or nullptr if there is no such channel or if the material is not a standard Material.

◆ InitTextures()

INITRENDERRESULT InitTextures ( const InitRenderStruct & irs )

Initializes the material textures, loading any files required.

Parameters

[in] irs A struct with information about the upcoming material rendering. The caller owns the pointed struct.

Returns: The result of the initialization: INITRENDERRESULT

◆ UnlockTextures()

void UnlockTextures ( )

Unlocks all textures used by the material.

◆ Displace()

void Displace	(	VolumeData *	sd,
		const RayPolyWeight *	weights
	)

Calls the displacement routine of a material with associated barycentric weights.

Note: The passed VolumeData structure must be fully initialized and must contain a render instance. This can only be achieved by copying/initializing from an existing VolumeData.

Parameters

[in]	sd	A volume data to use and modify. The caller owns the pointed VolumeData.
[in]	weights	Use nullptr. Private.

◆ ChangeNormal()

void ChangeNormal ( VolumeData * sd )

Calls the bump routine of a material. For plugin materials this is MaterialData::ChangeNormal().
The call changes BaseVolumeData::bumpn.

Note: The passed VolumeData structure must be fully initialized and contain a render instance. This can only be achieved by copying/initializing from an existing VolumeData.

Warning: Normalization is not done by the routine.

Parameters
