ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 996 Scripting Dictionary Shaders are stored in the shader palette of the 3D cast member. They can be referenced by name (whichShader) or palette index (shaderIndex). A shader can be used by any number of models. Changes to a shader will appear in all models which use that shader. There are four types of shaders: #standard shaders present their textures realistically. #painter, #engraver, and #newsprint shaders stylize their textures for painting, engraving, and newsprint effects. They have special properties in addition to the #standard shader properties. For more information about shader properties, see the Using Director topics in the Director Help Panel. The shaders used by individual faces of #mesh primitives can be set with the syntax member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).face[index].shader. Changes to this property require a call to the build() command. Example This statement sets the shader property of the model named Wall to the shader named WallSurface: member("Room").model("Wall").shader = member("Room").shader("WallSurface") See also shaderList, newShader, deleteShader, face, texture shaderList Usage member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList[index] Description 3D model property; a linear list of shadowPercentage applied to the model. The number of entries in this list equals the number of meshes in the model resource used by the model. Each mesh can be shaded by only one shader. Set the shader at the specified index position in the shaderlist with this syntax: member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList[index] = shaderReference With 3D text, each character is a separate mesh. Set the value of index to the number of the character whose shader you want to set. Set all index positions in the shaderList to the same shader with this syntax (note the absence of an index for the shaderList): member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList = shaderReference Set a property of a shader in the shaderlist with this syntax: member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList[index].\ whichProperty = propValue Set a property of all of the shaders of a model to the same value with this syntax (note the absence of an index for the shaderList): member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList.whichProperty = propValue Example This statement sets the second shader in the shaderList of the model named Bumper to the shader named Chrome:
