ApplyMaterial(String,textureMappingType,Double,Double) Method

Maps the specified material to this mesh. Before using this method you need to define a material and add it to the Materials collection.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub ApplyMaterial( _
   ByVal matName As String, _
   ByVal mappingMode As textureMappingType, _
   ByVal scaleX As Double, _
   ByVal scaleY As Double _
)

public void ApplyMaterial( 
   string matName,
   textureMappingType mappingMode,
   double scaleX,
   double scaleY
)

Parameters

matName: Material name
mappingMode: Indicates the way Material texture is wrapped on the object
scaleX: Material texture scale along the X axis
scaleY: Material texture scale along the Y axis

Remarks

The mesh nature is set to RichPlain or RichSmooth from this command.

You may need to call viewport.Entities.Regen() to see the effect of this command.

Example

The following code fragment demonstrates how to apply Cubic mapping to a Mesh object.

Mesh m = new Mesh(Mesh.natureType.RichSmooth);
 
m.MakeBox(10, 40, 20);
 
m.Translate(-10, 2, 20);
 
mainViewport.Materials.Add(new Material("Wood", Properties.Resources.Wood));
 
m.ApplyMaterial("Wood", textureMappingType.Cubic, 1, 1);
 
mainViewportLayout._entities.Add(m, 0, Color.Green);

Visual Basic

Dim m As Mesh = New Mesh(Mesh.natureType.RichSmooth) 
m.MakeBox(10, 40, 20)
 
m.Translate(-10, 2, 20)
 
mainViewport.Materials.Add(New Material("Wood", Properties.Resources.Wood))
 
m.ApplyMaterial("Wood", textureMappingType.Cubic, 1, 1)
 
mainViewportLayout._entities.Add(m, 0, Color.Green)
