DESCRIPTION
Assigns shader parameters, RGB color, and inheritance to an existing combination. The information may be included on the command line; otherwise the user will be prompted for it. Some available shaders are:
bump -- bump maps.
bwtexture -- black and white texture maps.
camo -- camouflage.
checker -- checkerboard design.
cloud -- 2D Geoffrey Gardner style cloud texture map.
envmap -- environment mapping.
fakestar -- a fake star pattern.
fbmbump -- fbm noise applied to surface normal.
fbmcolor -- fbm noise applied to color.
fire -- flames simulated with turbulence noise.
glass -- Phong shader with values set to simulate glass.
gravel -- turbulence noise applied to color and surface normal.
light -- light source.
marble -- marble texture.
mirror -- Phong shader with values set to simulate mirror.
plastic -- Phong shader with values set to simulate plastic.
rtrans -- random transparency.
scloud -- 3D cloud shader.
spm -- spherical texture maps.
stack -- allows stacking of shaders.
stxt -- shape texture mapping.
texture -- full color texture mapping.
turbump -- turbulence noise applied to surface normals.
turcolor -- turbulence noise applied to color.
wood -- wood texture.
EXAMPLES
The example shows the use of the mater command to assign shader parameters, color, and inheritance to a region.
Example 1. Assigning shader parameters, color, and inheritance to a region.
mged>mater region1 "plastic {tr 0.5 re 0.2}" 210 100 100 0Sets region1 to use the plastic shader with 50% transparency, 20% reflectivity, a base color of (210 100 100), and inheritance set to 0.
