SI_Material

Defines a SOFTIMAGE|3D material.

 

In v3.0 only SI_Material is exported. In v3.5 and 3.6, SoftMaterial is exported as SI_Material, and regular Material is exported as XSI_Material.

Introduced

1.3

Limitations

SOFTIMAGE|XSI exports this template in v3.0. For v3.5/3.6, XSI exports it when there is a legacy shader imported from SOFTIMAGE|3D (via either dotXSI v3.0 or the ImportSi3D).

See XSI_Material for the corresponding XSI template.

Example (Lambert shaded material)

SI_Material myMaterial
{
   1.0; 0.0; 0.0; 0.0;;     // diffuse (red)
   1.0;                     // specular exponent
   0.0; 1.0; 0.0;;          // specular (green)
   0.0; 0.0; 0.0;;          // emissive color (black)
   1;                       // Lambert shading model
   0.3; 0.3; 0.3;;          // ambient color (light gray)
}
