Appearance

Appearance {
  SFNode   material         NULL           # {Material, PROTO}
  SFNode   texture          NULL           # {ImageTexture, PROTO}
  SFNode   textureTransform NULL           # {TextureTransform, PROTO}
  SFString name             "appearance"   # any string
}

Description

The Appearance node (like the PBRAppearance node) specifies the visual properties of a geometric node. It should be set inside a Shape node. The value for each of the fields in this node may be NULL. However, if the field is non-NULL, it shall contain one node of the appropriate type.

Field Summary

  • The material field, if specified, shall contain a Material node. If the material field is NULL, lighting is off (all lights are ignored during the rendering of the object that references this Appearance) and the unlit object color is (1,1,1).

  • The texture field, if specified, shall contain an ImageTexture node. If the texture node is NULL, the object that references this Appearance is not textured.

  • The textureTransform field, if specified, shall contain a TextureTransform node. If the textureTransform is NULL, the textureTransform field has no effect. Otherwise, the TextureTransform is applied to the ImageTexture in the texture field when shading the object.

  • The name field is used to give a unique identifier to an Appearance node such that if it is included in an MFNode field it can be retrieved by this name. This name is not required to be unique if the Appearance node is inserted into an SFNode field.
