Detailed Description

Deprecated:

Deprecated in 3ds Max 2012.

No replacement. This is our base graphics material class. A material describes how to render the surface of an object. This class, and all its derived classes, are used for viewport display and Quicksilver. The difference between BaseMaterialHandle and ISimpleMaterial is that BaseMaterialHandle is used by RenderItemHandle::SetCustomMaterial() to describes the surface and ISimpleMaterial is used for Mtl and Texmap to display.
