Shaders

A shader defines the basic appearance of a model's surface. You apply textures to shaders. The
standard shader is photorealistic. The following list describes some of the other available shaders:
•
, which looks like a painted surface
#painter
•
, which looks like an engraved surface
#engraver
•
, which looks like a newspaper photograph
#newsprint
The following cast member methods and properties can be used to perform basic
shader operations:
Method
shader.count
shader(name)
shader[index]
newShader
(name,type)
Function
Creates a copy of the model named
and assigns it the name
model uses a copy of the original model's
model resource and shader; changes to the
original model's model resource and shader
have no effect on the new model.
Copies the model named name2 (from the
, member named name3) into the current
name2
member. The new copy is named name1. This
is similar to the
copies a model from one cast member to
another.
Function
Returns the number of shader objects
included in the cast member.
Returns the shader named
Returns the shader at the designated
position in the index. The index number can
change if shaders are added or deleted.
Creates a new shader and adds it to the
shader object list. The

Returns the shader object at
