siShaderParameterType

siShaderParameterType

Introduced

5.0

Description

Defines the Shader parameter type for a Parameter object belonging to Shader, Material, Light or Camera. Shader parameter types only apply to parameters that support the siTexturable capability. This can be tested using the Parameter.Capabilities property. The output type of a shader can be check using the Shader.OutputType property.
