[Closed] Create a scripted material through the SDK?

Jan 21, 2013 6:30 pm

Now I have my own materials created using the scripted plugin materials system.

And I wanna to create a material of this class and put it on the material editor.

Having a instance of that material is trivial but… how I can create a new material having its name and its ClassID? Creating a stdmaterial is pretty straightfoward using NewDefaultStdMat() but what for the rest of materials (including third party ones)?

I’ve been digging on the help and googling without luck :S

if you have an instance of the material then this will put it on the old style editor.

void Interface::PutMtlToMtlEditor( MtlBase *mb, int  slot = -1)

something like this should crash something ;0

MtlBase *mtlb = (MtlBase *)ip->CreateInstance(SUPER_CLASS_ID, CLASS_ID);
  if(mtlb)
  {
  // check duplicate name with
 
 	if(ip->OKMtlForScene(mtlb))
 	{
 		  ip->PutMtlToMtlEditor( mtlb,1);
 	 }
 	 else
 		  // assign unique name....
 
 }

I’ve come to put my own reply but you find it too!
CreateInstance(SUPER_CLASS_ID, CLASS_ID); is what I was looking for.

Thanks!
