• CombineMaterials() - This function combines the two specified materials into a multi-material. This function combines the two specified materials into a multi-material. Either of the two input materials can themselves be multi materials.
• IsMtl() - Used to determine if the MtlBase pointer passed is a material.
• IsTex() - Used to determine if the MtlBase pointer passed is a texture:
• Intens() - Returns the intensity of a color
• GetNewDefaultUVGen() - Return a default instance of a UVGen class.
• GetNewDefaultXYZGen() - Return a default instance of a UVGen class.
• GetNewDefaultTextureOutput() - Return a default instance of a TextureOutput class.

Note the following typedef's used with materials and textures:

typedef MtlBase* MtlBaseHandle;
typedef Mtl* MtlHandle;
typedef Texmap* TexmapHandle;
