Module Material
The Blender.Material submodule.
Material
This module provides access to Material objects in
Blender.
Example:
import Blender
from Blender import Material
mat = Material.New('newMat') # create a new Material called 'newMat'
print mat.rgbCol # print its rgb color triplet
mat.rgbCol = [0.8, 0.2, 0.2] # change its color
mat.setAlpha(0.2) # mat.alpha = 0.2 -- almost transparent
mat.emit = 0.7 # equivalent to mat.setEmit(0.8)
mat.mode |= Material.Modes.ZTRANSP # turn on Z-Buffer transparency
mat.setName('RedBansheeSkin') # change its name
mat.setAdd(0.8) # make it glow
mat.setMode('Halo') # turn 'Halo' "on" and all others "off"
Warning: Some Modes are only available when the 'Halo' mode is off and
others only when it is on. But these two subsets of modes share
the same numerical values in their Blender C #defines. So, for example,
if 'Halo' is on, then 'NoMist' is actually interpreted as 'HaloShaded'.
We marked all such possibilities in the Modes dict below: each
halo-related mode that uses an already taken value is preceded by
"-" and appear below the normal mode which also uses that
value.
