Class VertexElementMaterial

VertexElementMaterial class

Defines material index for specified components. A node can have multiple materials, the VertexElementMaterial is used to render different part of the geometry in different materials.

public class VertexElementMaterial : VertexElement

Constructors

Name	Description
VertexElementMaterial()	Initializes a new instance of the `VertexElementMaterial` class.

Properties

Name	Description
Indices { get; }	Gets the indices data
MappingMode { get; set; }	Gets or sets how the element is mapped.
Name { get; set; }	Gets or sets the name.
ReferenceMode { get; set; }	Gets or sets how the element is referenced.
VertexElementType { get; }	Gets the type of the `VertexElement`

Methods

Name	Description
override Clear()	Removes all elements from the direct and the index arrays.
SetIndices(int[])	Load indices
override ToString()	String representation of vertex element.

Examples

The following code shows how to assign different material to different face of a box.

// Create a mesh of box(A box is composed by 6 planes)
Mesh box = (new Box()).ToMesh();
// Create a material element on this mesh
VertexElementMaterial mat = (VertexElementMaterial)box.CreateElement(VertexElementType.Material, MappingMode.Polygon, ReferenceMode.Index);
// And specify different material index for each plane
mat.Indices.AddRange(new int[] { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 });
