Description

Class for ProceduralMaterial handling.

var floatRangeProperty : String = "Saturation";
var cycleTime : float = 10;
var rend: Renderer;

function Start() { rend = GetComponent.<Renderer>(); }

function Update () { var substance : ProceduralMaterial = rend.sharedMaterial as ProceduralMaterial; if (substance) { // Make the property go up and down over time var lerp = Mathf.PingPong (Time.time * 2 / cycleTime, 1); substance.SetProceduralFloat (floatRangeProperty, lerp); substance.RebuildTextures (); } }
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public string floatRangeProperty = "Saturation"; public float cycleTime = 10; public Renderer rend; void Start() { rend = GetComponent<Renderer>(); } void Update() { ProceduralMaterial substance = rend.sharedMaterial as ProceduralMaterial; if (substance) { float lerp = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time * 2 / cycleTime, 1); substance.SetProceduralFloat(floatRangeProperty, lerp); substance.RebuildTextures(); } } }

Static Variables

isSupportedCheck if ProceduralMaterials are supported on the current platform.
substanceProcessorUsageUsed to specify the Substance engine CPU usage.

Variables

animationUpdateRateSet or get the update rate in millisecond of the animated substance.
cacheSizeSet or get the Procedural cache budget.
isCachedDataAvailableIndicates whether cached data is available for this ProceduralMaterial's textures (only relevant for Cache and DoNothingAndCache loading behaviors).
isLoadTimeGeneratedShould the ProceduralMaterial be generated at load time?
isProcessingCheck if the ProceduralTextures from this ProceduralMaterial are currently being rebuilt.
isReadableSet or get the "Readable" flag for a ProceduralMaterial.
loadingBehaviorGet ProceduralMaterial loading behavior.
presetSet or get an XML string of "input/value" pairs (setting the preset rebuilds the textures).

HasProceduralPropertyChecks if the ProceduralMaterial has a ProceduralProperty of a given name.
IsProceduralPropertyCachedChecks if a named ProceduralProperty is cached for efficient runtime tweaking.
RebuildTexturesTriggers an asynchronous rebuild of this ProceduralMaterial's dirty textures.
RebuildTexturesImmediatelyTriggers an immediate (synchronous) rebuild of this ProceduralMaterial's dirty textures.
SetProceduralBooleanSet a named Procedural boolean property.
SetProceduralColorSet a named Procedural color property.

Static Functions

DestroyRemoves a gameobject, component or asset.

InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
