resetMaterial operation

Syntax

• resetMaterial()
• resetMaterial(target)

Parameters

1. target—selector

   Selects which material to reset.

   • shape — Default. Only reset the material of the shape.
   • geometry — Only reset the material of the geometry.
   • all — Reset the materials of both the shape and the geometry.

   .

Description

The resetMaterial operation resets the targeted material to the CGA default material (i.e. resets all material attributes). Using resetMaterial() without a parameter resets only the material of the shape. If the target is geometry or all and the geometry consists of multiple materials all of them are reset.

Examples

Example 1

Using resetMaterial() to get rid of previous changes to the shape material. This guarantees all the material attributes (e.g. the texture) of the inserted asset are used. Lot --> primitiveQuad() texture("stones.jpg") set(material.reflectivity, 0.75) set(material.specular.r, 1) set(material.specular.g, 1) set(material.specular.b, 1) Stones. i("plant.glb") resetMaterial() Flowers.

Example 2

Using resetMaterial(geometry) to reset the materials of the geometry to the CGA default material. Init--> i("car.glb") Matler(0) comp(m) { 0 : Matler(0.75) | 1 : Matler(1.25) } Matler(tx)--> alignScopeToAxes() t(tx,0,0) X. t(0,0.5,0) resetMaterial(geometry) X.
