Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

surfaceShaderList is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a NURBS plane.
cmds.nurbsPlane( d=3, p=(0, 0, 0), lr=1, axis=(0, 0, 0), n='plane1' )
# Make it red.
cmds.sets( name='redMaterialGroup', renderable=True, empty=True )
cmds.shadingNode( 'phong', name='redShader', asShader=True )
cmds.setAttr( 'redShader.color', 1, 0, 0, type='double3' )
cmds.surfaceShaderList( 'redShader', add='redMaterialGroup' )
cmds.sets( 'plane1', e=True, forceElement='redMaterialGroup' )
