Module Material
source code
The Blender.Material submodule.
New: access to shader data.
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 sequence
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"

Create a new Material object.
- Parameters:
name (string) - The Material name. - Returns: Blender Material
- The created Material object.
|
Get the Material object(s) from Blender.
- Parameters:
name (string) - The name of the Material. - Returns: Blender Material or a list of Blender Materials
- It depends on the 'name' parameter:
-
(name): The Material object with the given name;
-
(): A list with all Material objects in the current
scene.

Modes
The available Material Modes.
Note: 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.
-
TRACEABLE - Make Material visible for shadow lamps.
-
SHADOW - Enable Material for shadows.
-
SHADOWBUF - Enable Material to cast shadows with shadow
buffers.
-
SHADELESS - Make Material insensitive to light or shadow.
-
WIRE - Render only the edges of faces.
-
VCOL_LIGHT - Add vertex colors as extra light.
-
VCOL_PAINT - Replace basic colors with vertex colors.
-
HALO - Render as a halo.
-
ZTRANSP - Z-buffer transparent faces.
-
ZINVERT - Render with inverted Z-buffer.
-
+ HALORINGS - Render rings over the basic halo.
-
ENV - Do not render Material.
-
+ HALOLINES - Render star shaped lines over the basic halo.
-
ONLYSHADOW - Let alpha be determined on the degree of
shadow.
-
+ HALOXALPHA - Use extreme alpha.
-
TEXFACE - UV-Editor assigned texture gives color and texture
info for faces.
-
TEXFACE_ALPHA - When TEXFACE is enabled, use the alpha as
well.
-
+ HALOSTAR - Render halo as a star.
-
NOMIST - Set the Material insensitive to mist.
-
+ HALOSHADED - Let halo receive light.
-
HALOTEX - Give halo a texture.
-
HALOPUNO - Use the vertex normal to specify the dimension of
the halo.
-
HALOFLARE - Render halo as a lens flare.
-
RAYMIRROR - Enables raytracing for mirror reflection
rendering.
-
RAYTRANSP - Enables raytracing for transparency rendering.
-
RAYBIAS - Prevent ray traced shadow errors with Phong
interpolated normals.
-
RAMPCOL - Status of colorband ramp for Material's diffuse
color. This is a read-only bit.
-
RAMPSPEC - Status of colorband ramp for Material's specular
color. This is a read-only bit.
-
TANGENTSTR - Uses direction of strands as normal for
tangent-shading.
-
TRANSPSHADOW - Lets Material receive transparent shadows based on
material color and alpha.
-
FULLOSA - Force rendering of all OSA samples.
-
TANGENT_V - Use the tangent vector in V direction for
shading
-
NMAP_TS - Tangent space normal mapping.
-
GROUP_EXCLUSIVE - Light from this group even if the lights
are on a hidden Layer.
- Type:
- readonly dictionary
