JScript Example

// Create an object with a texture shader
var root = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;
var object = root.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" );

BlendInPresets( "Image", object, 1, false );
CreateProjection( object, siTxtSpherical, siTxtDefaultSpherical, "TxtSupport", "TxtProjection" );

var filename = Application.InstallationPath( siFactoryPath ) + 
   "\\Data\\XSI_SAMPLES\\Pictures\\xsilogo.jpg";

var imageclip = CreateImageClip( filename, "XSILogo" );

// Find the texture shader using the built-in Softimage shader filter
var colShaders= object.Material.FindShaders(siShaderFilter);
var textureshader = colShaders("Image");

// Set up a texture projection and image clip for the texture shader
textureshader.Parameters("tspace_id").Value = "TxtProjection";
textureshader.Parameters("tex").connect(imageclip);
