ShaderMaterial class

A shader material allows to describe the material by external rendering engine or shader language. ShaderMaterial uses ShaderTechnique to describe the concrete rendering details, and the most suitable one will be used according to the final rendering platform. For example, your ShaderMaterial instance can have two technique, one is defined by HLSL, and another is defined by GLSL Under non-window platform the GLSL should be used instead of HLSL

Inheritance: ShaderMaterial → Material → A3DObject

The ShaderMaterial type exposes the following members:
