Material
A definition of material properties for rendered objects.

Properties
Texture
If set to a Bitmap then the material will use the bitmap for texturing.
Texture2
If set to a Bitmap and your graphics card supports multitexturing then the material will use the bitmap for texturing.
Texture3
If set to a Bitmap and your graphics card supports multitexturing then the material will use the bitmap for texturing.
TextureScale
When texturing is used, this value controls scaling of the texture. 1.0 is the default value for normal scale. 0.5 is half scale, 2.0 is double scale. You can specify a separate scale for the X and Y axis.
TextureX / TextureY
When texturing is used, this values controls the texture offset in X and Y axis. Animate the values to "move" the texture over the rendered object.
TextureRotate
When texturing is used, this value controls rotation of the texture.
TextureWrapMode
When texturing is used, this values controls how the texture will repeated over the mesh surface:
- Mirror - The texture is repeated with every other repetition mirrored (flipped).
- Tile - The texture is repeated normally.
- Clamp - No repetition, pixels outside the texture will hold the same color as the textures edges.
WireframeWidth
The width of lines in wireframe-mode. Default value is 4.
Shading
The style of shading that this material will use.
Can have one of the following values:
- Smooth - Smooth shading
- Flat - Flat shading
- Wireframe - Wireframe.
Default is Smooth.
Color
The color of the material. See also RenderSetColor for an alternative of setting individual colors to models using the same material.
Light
If set then the material will be lit.
Blend
Controls the blending mode used.
Can have one of the following values:
- None
- Alpha/OneMinusSourceAlpha
- Alpha/One
- Color/OneMinusSourceColor
- AlphaSaturate/One
See external link: Transparency, Translucency, and Blending (OpenGL.org).
TexCoords
When texturing is used, this value controls how texture coordinates are fetched.
- Generated - Material will use automatically generated texture coordinates.
- ModelDefined - Texture coordinates supplied with the model will be used. Set this value when using the RenderSprite-component.
Default is Generated.
ZBuffer
Material will use Z-buffer when rendering. Default is set.
DrawBackFace
If this value is set then surfaces turned away from the camera will be rendered. Set this value when rendereing transparent surfaces. Default is off.
Font
Set to a Font and then use RenderText to display text using the font.
Shader
If set to a Shader then the material will use the shader for fragment (pixel) and vertex processing.
