9.4. OBJMaterial — OBJ material

The OBJMaterial class stores the parameters of materials as specified in a MTL file (which is the material file that accompanies a Wavefront OBJ file).

class OBJMaterial(name = "OBJMaterial", illum = 2, Ka = (0.2, 0.2, 0.2), Kd = (0.8, 0.8, 0.8), Ks = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), Ke = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), Ns = 0.0, Ni = 1.0, d = 1.0, Tr = 1.0, Tf = (1.0, 1.0, 1.0), sharpness = 0.0, map_Ka = None, map_Kd = None, map_Ks = None, map_Ke = None, map_Ns = None, map_d = None, map_Bump = None, density = 1.0)

illum sepcifies the illumination mode (0=constant, 1=diffuse, 2=diffuse+specular, ...).

Ka is the ambient color.

Kd is the diffuse color.

Ks is the specular color.

Ke is the emissive color.

Ns is the specular exponent (i.e. the shininess).

Ni is the index of reflection.

d, Tr and Tf are all transparency values. d and Tr are given as floats and Tf as a color.

sharpness...

The map_ arguments specify a texture map for the corresponding attribute. The value must be a OBJTextureMap object.

9.4.1. OBJTextureMap — Texture map definition for the OBJ material

The OBJTextureMap class stores the parameters of texture maps as specified in an MTL file.

class OBJTextureMap(filename, offset = (0, 0, 0), scale = (1, 1, 1), turb = (0, 0, 0), mm = (0.0, 1.0), clamp = False, blendu = True, blendv = True, bumpsize = None, refltype = None)

filename is the name of the image map to use.

offset contains three floats that are added to the u, v and w texture coordinates, i.e. the map is translated.

scale contains three floats that are used to scale the u, v and w texture coordinates, i.e. to scale the texture map.

turb specifies turbulence values.

mm is a 2-tuple (bias, gain) that is used to modify the color values of the map.

clamp...

blendu and blendv...

bumpsize is a float that determines the size of the bumps in a bump map.

refltype is a string that is only used in combination with reflection maps. The string determines how the image should be interpreted (“sphere”, ...).
