Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MFnPhongShader::MFnPhongShader	(	MObject &	object,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = NULL
	)

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters:

[in]	object	The MObject to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	the return status

Status Codes:

• MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
• MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

MFnPhongShader::MFnPhongShader	(	const MObject &	object,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = NULL
	)

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters:

[in]	object	The MObject to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	the return status

Status Codes:

• MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
• MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type MFnPhongShader::type

(

)

const [virtual]

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kPhong

Reimplemented from MFnReflectShader.

const char * MFnPhongShader::className

(

)

const [protected, virtual]

Class name.

Return the class name : "MFnPhongShader"

Reimplemented from MFnReflectShader.

MObject MFnPhongShader::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 MFnPhongShader::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:

• MS::kSuccess operation successful
• MS::kFailure function set does not have a valid object.

MStatus MFnPhongShader::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

Status Codes:

• MS::kSuccess operation successful
• MS::kFailure function set does not have a valid object,
