[in] object The MObject to attach the function set to
[out] ReturnStatus the return status
Status Codes:
MFnPhongShader ( const MObject object,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

MFn::Type type ( ) const [virtual]

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kPhong.

Reimplemented from MFnReflectShader.

const char * className ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Class name.

Return the class name : "MFnPhongShader".

Reimplemented from MFnReflectShader.

MObject create ( bool  UIvisible = true,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Creates a new phong shader dependency graph node and adds it to the dependency graph.

If the UIvisible parameter is true, the new node will be connected to the shader classification node (which allows the UI to recognize the node as a shader). If UIvisible is false, the node will be created in isolation.

Parameters:
[in] UIvisible determines whether or not the new node will be connected to the shader classification node.
[out] ReturnStatus return status
Returns:
MObject representing the new dependency node.
Status Codes:
  • MS::kSuccess operation successful
  • MS::kInsufficientMemory ran out of memory
  • MS::kNoModelActive no model is currently active
  • MS::kLicenseFailure application not licensed for attempted operation
  • MS::kFailure the new node could not be created, or the new node could not be added to the dependency graph, or the new node could not be connected to the classification node.

Reimplemented from MFnLambertShader.

float cosPower ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL ) const

Retrieves the value of the "cosPower" attribute of a phong shader node.

This attribute determines the size of specular highlights produced by the shader.

Parameters:
[out] ReturnStatus return status
Returns:
The value of the "cosPower" attribute of the shader node.
Status Codes:
MStatus setCosPower ( const float &  cos_power )

Sets the value of the "cosPower" attribute of a shader node.

Parameters:
[in] cos_power value to which the attribute will be set.
Returns:
Return status
