Material

Applies a material to objects

Description

This can assign the material to the top level objects, but also to their children.

This node can also be used to process input materials, without assigning a new one. This can be useful when processing a geometry imported from a File SOP. You may want to swap textures, in which case you could swap the emission texture to the color one. This would allow you to use a mesh basic material, which would be faster to render.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
group	string	group to assign the material to
assignMat	boolean	toggle on to assign the new material
material	node_path	the material node
applyToChildren	boolean	toggle on to also assign the material to children
cloneMat	boolean	Cloning the material would prevent the material node to have any effect on the processed geometries. But it would allow to have multiple materials, if this was used with a Copy SOP for instance
shareCustomUniforms	boolean	while cloning the material, you may only want to change basic properties (such as depthWrite or transparent), but you would want to still use the same custom uniforms created by GL/param nodes
swapCurrentTex	boolean	swap one texture with another
texSrc0	string	texture to swap
texDest0	string	texture to swap
