DESCRIPTION

Description of the scattering characteristics of an object (as opposed to the scattering and emission characteristics of an point which is given by a RiMaterialSample. The material must return a RiMaterialSample when given an RiRayHit

~RiMaterial() ;

Destructor (It's for the children, dear)

    virtual ~RiMaterial()   
;

Function is currently defined inline.

RiMaterialSamplePointer GetSample(RiMaterialRegion &);

 Evaluate all textures and compute a BRDF for the Shader to use. User is responsible for deleting the resulting BRDF.

    virtual RiMaterialSamplePointer  GetSample(RiMaterialRegion &);

bool IsLuminaire() const;

 Returns true if material emits light

    virtual bool IsLuminaire() const;

void SetWorldMedia(RiMedia *media);

    static void SetWorldMedia(RiMedia *media);

RiMedia *GetWorldMedia();
