This node defines the current surface material properties for all subsequent shapes. SoMaterial sets several components of the current material during traversal.

Multiple values can be specified for the diffuseColor and transparency. Different shapes interpret materials with multiple values differently. To bind materials to shapes, use an SoMaterialBinding node.


SoMFColor ambientColor

Ambient color of the surface.



SoMFColor diffuseColor

Diffuse color(s) of the surface.



SoMFColor specularColor

Specular color of the surface.



SoMFColor emissiveColor

Emissive color of the surface.



SoMFFloat shininess

Shininess coefficient of the surface. Values can range from 0.0 for no shininess (a diffuse surface) to 1.0 for maximum shininess (a highly polished surface).



SoMFFloat transparency

Transparency value(s) of the surface. Values can range from 0.0 for opaque surfaces to 1.0 for completely transparent surfaces. If the transparency type is SoGLRenderAction::SCREEN_DOOR then only the first transparency value will be used. With other transparency types, multiple transparencies will be used, if the SoMaterial node contains as many transparencies as diffuse colors. If there are not as many transparencies as diffuse colors, only the first transparency will be used.



SoMaterial()

Creates a material node with default settings.



static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.


SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction

Sets the ambient color, the diffuse color, the specular color, the emissive color, the shininess, and the transparency of the current material.
