collada.material.Material

class collada.material.Material(id, name, effect, xmlnode=None)

Bases: collada.common.DaeObject

Class containing data coming from a <material> tag.

Right now, this just stores a reference to the effect which is instantiated in the material. The effect instance can have parameters, but this is rarely used in the wild, so it is not yet implemented.

__init__(id, name, effect, xmlnode=None)

Creates a material.

Parameters:

• id (str) – A unique string identifier for the material
• name (str) – A name for the material
• effect (collada.material.Effect) – The effect instantiated in this material
• xmlnode – If loaded from xml, the xml node
