Data Members:: Point3 Ka;

Ambient color setting. The values for x, y, and z range from 0.0 to 1.0. These correspond to red, green, and blue respectively.

Point3 Kd;

Diffuse color setting. The values for x, y, and z range from 0.0 to 1.0. These correspond to red, green, and blue respectively.

Point3 Ks;

Specular color setting. The values for x, y, and z range from 0.0 to 1.0. These correspond to red, green, and blue respectively.

float shininess;

Shininess setting. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.

float shinStrength;

Shininess strength setting. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.

float opacity;

Opacity setting. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.

float selfIllum;

Self Illumination setting. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.

int dblSided;
