Unigine::Material Class
Header: | #include <UnigineMaterial.h> |
This class is used to create materials, which are assigned to each node (or each surface of the object) and define how they look like. They implement the shaders and control what options, states, parameters of different types and textures are used to render the node during the rendering passes.
The concepts of a path and a name of the material should be distinguished:
- The path specifies where the material is stored on the disk. The path includes a material file name.
- The name specifies how the material will be displayed in Materials Editor (the materials hierarchy, the nodes surface editor). The name can also be used to reference material from the code.
Usage Examples
Changing Textures
The first example describes how to set texture flags to the material's texture. We set the ANISOTROPY_8 flag to the albedo texture of the mesh_base_0 material.
Add the following code to the AppWorldLogic.cpp file.
// AppWorldLogic.cpp
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineMaterial.h>
#include <UnigineMaterials.h>
using namespace Unigine;
/* .. */
int AppWorldLogic::init() {
// load materials
Materials *materials = Materials::get();
// get the mesh_base_0 material
MaterialPtr m = materials->findMaterial("mesh_base_0");
// get the number of albedo texture of the mesh_base_0 material
int num = m->findTexture("albedo");
// return the current flags and show them in console
int flags = m->getTextureFlags(num);
Log::message("Texture flags are:%i \n", flags);
// set the ANISOTROPY_8 flag
m->setTextureFlags(num, Texture::ANISOTROPY_8);
// get the flags and show them in console
int flagsSet = m->getTextureFlags(num);
Log::message("Texture flags are:%i \n", flagsSet);
return 1;
}
/* .. */
In the console, you can see the following result:
Image texture flags are: 81920
Image texture flags are: 524288
Flags are bits of the integer variable: 81920 value means the FILTER_BILINEAR flag, 524288 value means the ANISOTROPY_8 flag.
Changing States and Parameters
The second example illustrates how to inherit a material from the mesh_base, enable the planar reflection state and change two parameters affecting the look of dynamic reflections.
Add the following code to the AppWorldLogic.cpp file.
// AppWorldLogic.cpp
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineMaterial.h>
#include <UnigineMaterials.h>
#include <UnigineConsole.h>
#include <UnigineEditor.h>
using namespace Unigine;
/* .. */
int AppWorldLogic::init() {
Materials *materials = Materials::get();
// find the mesh_base material
MaterialPtr mesh_base = materials->findMaterial("mesh_base");
// inherit a new material from it
MaterialPtr reflector_material = mesh_base->inherit("planar_reflector", "unigine_project/materials/planar_reflector.mat");
// enable planar reflections for the mirror material
reflector_material->setState("planar_reflection", 1);
// set metallness and roughness parameters to make the surface look like a mirror
reflector_material->setParameterSlider(reflector_material->findParameter("metalness"), 1.0f);
reflector_material->setParameterSlider(reflector_material->findParameter("roughness"), 0.0f);
// assign the mesh_base material to the material ball
ObjectMeshStaticPtr material_ball = ObjectMeshStatic::cast(Editor::get()->getNodeByName("material_ball"));
material_ball->setMaterial("mesh_base","*");
// new mirror material to the ground object
ObjectMeshDynamicPtr ground = ObjectMeshDynamic::cast(Editor::get()->getNodeByName("ground"));
ground->setRotation(Math::quat(90.0f, 90.0f, 0.0f));
ground->setMaterial("planar_reflector", 0);
// enable planar reflections rendering using the corresponding console command (render_reflection_dynamic)
Console::get()->run("render_reflection_dynamic 1");
return 1;
}

Return value
1 if conditions are met; othersiwe, 0.int save()
Save the material to the current path used for this material.Return value
1 if the material is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.int save(const char * path)
Save the material to the specified path.Arguments
- const char * path - A path to save the material
Return value
1 if the material is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.int load()
Loads the material from the file specified by the setPath() function. The function can be used to load materials created during application execution or stored outside the data directory.Return value
1 if the material is loaded successfully; otherwise, 0.int load(const char * path)
Loads a material from the given file. The function can be used to load materials created during application execution or stored outside the data directory.Arguments
- const char * path - A path to the material file.
Return value
1 if the material is loaded successfully; otherwise, 0.int saveXml(const Ptr<Xml> & xml)
Saves the material into the given Xml.Arguments
- const Ptr<Xml> & xml - An Xml node.
Return value
1 if the material is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.int isBase()
Returns a value indicating if the material is the base one.Return value
1 if the material is the base one; otherwise, 0.int isNodeSupported(const Ptr<Node> & node)
Returns a value indicating if the material can be applied to the given node.Arguments
- const Ptr<Node> & node - A node.
Return value
1 if the given node is supported; otherwise, 0.int setTextureImage(int num, const Ptr<Image> & image)
Set a given image to a given texture.Arguments
- int num - Texture number.
- const Ptr<Image> & image - An image to set.
Return value
1 if the image is set successfully; otherwise, 0.Ptr<Material> getBaseMaterial()
Returns the base material of the current material.Return value
A base material.void setTextureFlags(int num, int flags)
Sets the specified texture flags to the given texture.Arguments
- int num - Texture number.
- int flags - Texture flags bit mask.
void setTexture(int num, const Ptr<Texture> & texture)
Sets the given texture to the texture with the specified number.Arguments
- int num - Texture number.
- const Ptr<Texture> & texture - A texture to be set.
Ptr<Texture> getTexture(int num)
Returns a texture set for the current material.Arguments
- int num - Texture number.
Return value
A texture.const char * getPath()
Returns a path to the current material.Return value
Path to the material.void resetParameter(int num)
Resets the overriden value of the given parameter to the parent one.Arguments
- int num - Parameter number.
int reload()
Reloads the material and all its children.Return value
1 if the material is reloaded successfully; otherwise, 0.int getTextureImage(int num, const Ptr<Image> & image)
Reads a given texture into a given image.Arguments
- int num - Texture number.
- const Ptr<Image> & image - An image.
Return value
1 if the texture is read successfully; otherwise, 0.UGUID getGUID()
Returns the GUID of the material.Return value
GUID of the material.int isEngine()
Returns a value indicating if the current material is engine-related (i.e. required for engine operation). Such materials are stored in the core, editor and editor2 folders.Return value
1 if the material is engine-related; otherwise, 0.void destroyShaders()
Deletes all shaders used for the current material and its children and clears shaders cache.void createShaders(int recursive = 0)
Creates all shaders for the current material and its children (if specified).Arguments
