Detailed Description

Class encapsulates rendering properties of an object.

Ogre's material class encapsulates all aspects of the visual appearance, of an object. It also includes other flags which might not be traditionally thought of as material properties such as culling modes and depth buffer settings, but these affect the appearance of the rendered object and are convenient to attach to the material since it keeps all the settings in one place. This is different to Direct3D which treats a material as just the colour components (diffuse, specular) and not texture maps etc. An Ogre Material can be thought of as equivalent to a 'Shader'.

A Material can be rendered in multiple different ways depending on the hardware available. You may configure a Material to use high-complexity fragment shaders, but these won't work on every card; therefore a Technique is an approach to creating the visual effect you are looking for. You are advised to create fallback techniques with lower hardware requirements if you decide to use advanced features. In addition, you also might want lower-detail techniques for distant geometry.

Each Technique can be made up of multiple passes. A fixed-function Pass may combine multiple texture layers using multitexturing, but Ogre can break that into multiple passes automatically if the active card cannot handle that many simultaneous textures. Programmable passes, however, cannot be split down automatically, so if the active graphics card cannot handle the technique which contains these passes, OGRE will try to find another technique which the card can do. If, at the end of the day, the card cannot handle any of the techniques which are listed for the material, the engine will render the geometry plain white, which should alert you to the problem.

Ogre comes configured with a number of default settings for a newly created material. These can be changed if you wish by retrieving the default material settings through MaterialManager::getDefaultSettings. Any changes you make to the Material returned from this method will apply to any materials created from this point onward.

		const String &	name,
		ResourceHandle	handle,
		const String &	group,
		bool	isManual = `false`,
		ManualResourceLoader *	loader = `0`
	)

◆ ~Material()

Ogre::Material::~Material ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

Material & Ogre::Material::operator= ( const Material & rhs )

Assignment operator to allow easy copying between materials.

◆ isTransparent()

bool Ogre::Material::isTransparent ( void ) const

Determines if the material has any transparency with the rest of the scene (derived from whether any Techniques say they involve transparency).

◆ setReceiveShadows()

void Ogre::Material::setReceiveShadows ( bool enabled )

inline

Sets whether objects using this material will receive shadows.

This method allows a material to opt out of receiving shadows, if it would otherwise do so. Shadows will not be cast on any objects unless the scene is set up to support shadows (

See also: SceneManager::setShadowTechnique), and not all techniques cast shadows on all objects. In any case, if you have a need to prevent shadows being received by material, this is the method you call to do it.

Note: Transparent materials never receive shadows despite this setting. The default is to receive shadows.

◆ getReceiveShadows()

bool Ogre::Material::getReceiveShadows ( void ) const

inline

Returns whether or not objects using this material will receive shadows.

◆ setTransparencyCastsShadows()

void Ogre::Material::setTransparencyCastsShadows ( bool enabled )

inline

Sets whether objects using this material be classified as opaque to the shadow caster system.

This method allows a material to cast a shadow, even if it is transparent. By default, transparent materials neither cast nor receive shadows. Shadows will not be cast on any objects unless the scene is set up to support shadows (

See also: SceneManager::setShadowTechnique), and not all techniques cast shadows on all objects.

◆ getTransparencyCastsShadows()

bool Ogre::Material::getTransparencyCastsShadows ( void ) const

inline

Returns whether or not objects using this material be classified as opaque to the shadow caster system.

◆ createTechnique()

Technique * Ogre::Material::createTechnique ( void )

Creates a new Technique for this Material.

A Technique is a single way of rendering geometry in order to achieve the effect you are intending in a material. There are many reason why you would want more than one - the main one being to handle variable graphics card abilities; you might have one technique which is impressive but only runs on 4th-generation graphics cards, for example. In this case you will want to create at least one fallback Technique. OGRE will work out which Techniques a card can support and pick the best one.

: If multiple Techniques are available, the order in which they are created is important - the engine will consider lower-indexed Techniques to be preferable to higher-indexed Techniques, ie when asked for the 'best' technique it will return the first one in the technique list which is supported by the hardware.

◆ getTechnique() [1/2]

Technique * Ogre::Material::getTechnique ( size_t index ) const

inline

Gets the indexed technique.

◆ getTechnique() [2/2]

Technique * Ogre::Material::getTechnique ( const String & name ) const

inline

Get the Techniques in this Material.

◆ getSupportedTechniques()

const Techniques & Ogre::Material::getSupportedTechniques ( void ) const

inline

Gets all the Techniques which are supported by the current card.

The supported technique list is only available after this material has been compiled, which typically happens on loading the material. Therefore, if this method returns an empty list, try calling Material::load.

◆ getSupportedTechniqueIterator()

TechniqueIterator Ogre::Material::getSupportedTechniqueIterator ( void )

Deprecated:: use getSupportedTechniques()

◆ getSupportedTechnique()

Technique * Ogre::Material::getSupportedTechnique ( size_t index ) const

inline

inline

Retrieves the number of supported techniques.

◆ getUnsupportedTechniquesExplanation()

const String & Ogre::Material::getUnsupportedTechniquesExplanation ( ) const

inline

Gets a string explaining why any techniques are not supported.

◆ getBestTechnique()

Technique * Ogre::Material::getBestTechnique	(	unsigned short	lodIndex = `0`,
		const Renderable *	rend = `0`
	)

Gets the best supported technique.

This method returns the lowest-index supported Technique in this material (since lower-indexed Techniques are considered to be better than higher-indexed ones).

: The best supported technique is only available after this material has been compiled, which typically happens on loading the material. Therefore, if this method returns NULL, try calling Material::load.

Parameters

lodIndex	The material LOD index to use
rend	Optional parameter specifying the Renderable that is requesting this technique. Only used if no valid technique for the active material scheme is found, at which point it is passed to MaterialManager::Listener::handleSchemeNotFound as information.

◆ clone() [1/3]

MaterialPtr Ogre::Material::clone	(	const String &	newName,
		const String &	newGroup = `BLANKSTRING`
	)		const

Creates a new copy of this material with the same settings but a new name.

Parameters

newName	The name for the cloned material
newGroup	Optional name of the new group to assign the clone to; if you leave this blank, the clone will be assigned to the same group as this Material.

◆ clone() [2/3]

MaterialPtr Ogre::Material::clone	(	const String &	newName,
		const char *	newGroup
	)		const

inline

References clone().

Referenced by clone().

◆ clone() [3/3]

MaterialPtr Ogre::Material::clone	(	const String &	newName,
		bool	changeGroup,

inline

Deprecated:: use clone(const String&, const String&)

◆ copyDetailsTo()

void Ogre::Material::copyDetailsTo ( MaterialPtr & mat ) const

Copies the details of this material into another, preserving the target's handle and name (unlike operator=) but copying everything else.

Parameters

mat	Weak reference to material which will receive this material's settings.

◆ compile()

void Ogre::Material::compile ( bool autoManageTextureUnits = true )

'Compiles' this Material.

Compiling a material involves determining which Techniques are supported on the card on which OGRE is currently running, and for fixed-function Passes within those Techniques, splitting the passes down where they contain more TextureUnitState instances than the current card has texture units.

: This process is automatically done when the Material is loaded, but may be repeated if you make some procedural changes.

Parameters

autoManageTextureUnits If true, when a fixed function pass has too many TextureUnitState entries than the card has texture units, the Pass in question will be split into more than one Pass in order to emulate the Pass. If you set this to false and this situation arises, an Exception will be thrown.

Sets the depth bias to be used for each Pass.

Note: This property has been moved to the Pass class, which is accessible via the Technique. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current Technique, and for every current Pass within those Techniques. If you need more precision, retrieve the Technique and Pass instances and set the property there.

◆ _notifyNeedsRecompile()

void Ogre::Material::_notifyNeedsRecompile ( void )

Tells the material that it needs recompilation.

◆ getNumLodLevels() [1/2]

unsigned short Ogre::Material::getNumLodLevels ( unsigned short schemeIndex ) const

Gets the number of levels-of-detail this material has in the given scheme, based on Technique::setLodIndex.

Note that this will not be up to date until the material has been compiled.

◆ getNumLodLevels() [2/2]

unsigned short Ogre::Material::getNumLodLevels ( const String & schemeName ) const

Gets the number of levels-of-detail this material has in the given scheme, based on Technique::setLodIndex.

Note that this will not be up to date until the material has been compiled.

◆ setLodLevels()

void Ogre::Material::setLodLevels ( const LodValueList & lodValues )

Sets the distance at which level-of-detail (LOD) levels come into effect.

You should only use this if you have assigned LOD indexes to the Technique instances attached to this Material. If you have done so, you should call this method to determine the distance at which the lowe levels of detail kick in. The decision about what distance is actually used is a combination of this and the LOD bias applied to both the current Camera and the current Entity.

Parameters

lodValues A vector of Reals which indicate the LOD value at which to switch to lower details. They are listed in LOD index order, starting at index 1 (ie the first level down from the highest level 0, which automatically applies from a value of 0). These are 'user values', before being potentially transformed by the strategy, so for the distance strategy this is an unsquared distance for example.

◆ getLodValues()

const LodValueList & Ogre::Material::getLodValues ( void ) const

inline

Gets the list of values transformed by the LodStrategy at which each LOD comes into effect.

Note that the iterator returned from this method is not totally analogous to the one passed in by calling setLodLevels - the list includes a zero entry at the start (since the highest LOD starts at value 0). Also, the values returned are after being transformed by LodStrategy::transformUserValue.

◆ getLodValueIterator()

LodValueIterator Ogre::Material::getLodValueIterator ( void ) const

Deprecated:: use getLodValues()

◆ getUserLodValues()

const LodValueList & Ogre::Material::getUserLodValues ( void ) const

inline

Gets the user-defined list of values which are internally transformed by the LodStrategy.

Note that the iterator returned from this method is not totally analogous to the one passed in by calling setLodLevels - the list includes a zero entry at the start (since the highest LOD starts at value 0). Also, the values returned are after being transformed by LodStrategy::transformUserValue.

◆ getUserLodValueIterator()

LodValueIterator Ogre::Material::getUserLodValueIterator ( void ) const

Deprecated:: use getUserLodValues()

◆ getLodIndex()

ushort Ogre::Material::getLodIndex ( Real value ) const

Gets the LOD index to use at the given value.

Note: The value passed in is the 'transformed' value. If you are dealing with an original source value (e.g. distance), use LodStrategy::transformUserValue to turn this into a lookup value.

◆ getLodStrategy()

const LodStrategy * Ogre::Material::getLodStrategy ( ) const

Get LOD strategy used by this material.

◆ setLodStrategy()

void Ogre::Material::setLodStrategy ( LodStrategy * lodStrategy )

Set the LOD strategy used by this material.

◆ touch()

void Ogre::Material::touch ( void )

inlineoverridevirtual

'Touches' the resource to indicate it has been used.

Reimplemented from Ogre::Resource.

References Ogre::Resource::touch().

◆ getCompilationRequired()

bool Ogre::Material::getCompilationRequired ( ) const

inline

Gets the compilation status of the material.

Returns: True if the material needs recompilation.
