Examples

C++

Cmaxwell::CmaterialLayer layer = material.addLayer();
Cmaxwell::Cbsdf bsdf = layer.addBSDF();
Cmaxwell::CmultiValue::Cmap mvMap;
mvMap.type = Cmaxwell::CmultiValue::Cmap::TYPE_VALUE; (roughness will use a numeric value instead of a texture)
mvMap.value = 77.0;
bsdf.setColor( "roughness", mvMap );
bsdf.setActiveColor( "roughness", mvMap );

Python

layer = material.addLayer();
bsdf = layer.addBSDF();
mvMap = Cmap();
mvMap.type = Cmap::TYPE_VALUE; (roughness will use a numeric value instead of a texture)
mvMap.value = 77.0;
bsdf.setColor( 'roughness', mvMap );
bsdf.setActiveColor( 'roughness', mvMap );

setNormalMapState

Language	Syntax
C++	byte getNormalMapState( bool& state )
Python	bool getNormalMapState()

Return value

C++

0 = Error getting normal mapping state.

1 = Success.

addCoating
