Description

referenced material

Material for a 3D model or an XSI object.

propagation

Indicates how the material propagation occurs. In the case of SOFTIMAGE|3D, everything is always exported using BRANCH (there is no such thing as a NODE propagated material). In the case of SOFTIMAGE|XSI, the material propagation can be any of the following:

• BRANCH = material is shared throughout the branch (ie., object and all its nodes)

• NODE = material is applied only to the object’s node

• INHERITED = material has been inherited from a parent object

Example

SI_GlobalMaterial {
   "mat1"
   "BRANCH"
  }
