Interface IMaterial

Namespace

LibGFX.Graphics.Materials

Assembly

LibGFX.dll

Defines the contract for a material used in rendering operations, including identification, configuration, and lifecycle management.

public interface IMaterial : IGraphicsResource, IIdentifier, ISerialization

Inherited Members

IGraphicsResource.IsInitialized

IGraphicsResource.Init(IRenderDevice)

IGraphicsResource.Dispose(IRenderDevice)

IGraphicsResource.FreeCPUResources()

IIdentifier.Name

IIdentifier.ID

ISerialization.Serialize(JsonWriter, SerializationContext, Action<JsonWriter>)

ISerialization.Deserialize(JObject, SerializationContext, Func<JObject, bool>)

Remarks

Implementations of this interface represent materials that can be initialized, used, and disposed of with a rendering device. The interface also provides a static method for loading a material from an external source. Implementers should ensure thread safety if materials are accessed concurrently.

Properties

IsTransparent

bool IsTransparent { get; }

Property Value

bool

Methods

Disable(IRenderDevice)

Disables the Material after rendering operations are complete.

void Disable(IRenderDevice renderDevice)

Parameters

renderDevice IRenderDevice

LoadMaterial(Material, string)

Creates an IMaterial instance from the specified Assimp material and associated resource directory.

void LoadMaterial(Material asmat, string directory)

Parameters

asmat Material

The Assimp.Material object containing material properties to be loaded.

directory string

The directory path used to resolve any external resources referenced by the material. Cannot be null or empty.

Remarks

Use this method to convert materials imported via Assimp into the application's material representation. The directory parameter should point to the location of any textures or external resources referenced by the material.

Use(IRenderDevice)

Configures the current instance to use the specified render device for rendering operations.

void Use(IRenderDevice renderDevice)

Parameters

renderDevice IRenderDevice

The render device to be used. Cannot be null.
