ImageClips (Material)

Description

Returns an ImageClipCollection containing all ImageClip objects connected to the material.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
ImageClipCollection rtn = Material.ImageClips;

Examples

VBScript Example

'
'  This example shows how to find all image clips associated with a Material
'

set oObj = BuildDemoScene

set oImageClips = oObj.Material.ImageClips 

for each oImageClip in oImageClips
   Application.LogMessage oImageClip.FullName
next

'Example output:
'INFO : sphere.Material.Phong.Image.jaiqua_face_jpg
'INFO : sphere.Material.Phong.Color2scalar.Image1.ehair_08_jpg


'  Create a little sample render tree
'  It has no interesting visual appearance but is a render tree with
'  various shaders and two images so that we can demonstrate the 
'  FindImageClips routine
'
'   Return value is the X3DObject
'
