Brlcad/How to mged/command/mater
The mater command is used to set the material properties for a previously defined region. This includes parameters, such as the material shader, the shader properties, the rgb colour values and any inheritance properties of the materials.
# Set the material properties for region1.r to plastic mater region1.r plastic
Setting the material shader properties
[edit | edit source]The shader properties that can be configured depends on the type of material shader being utilized. The following example shows how to set the transparency, reflectiveness, and shininess properties for a plastic material.
mater region1.r plastic "plastic tr=0.3 di=1.0 re=0.2" 255 0 0 0
Note that the shader and shader properties are passed as a single parameter enclosed in quotation marks. The quotation marks are necessary for grouping parameters separated by spaces.
