collada.material.Effect

class collada.material.Effect(id, params, shadingtype, bumpmap=None, double_sided=False, emission=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), ambient=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), diffuse=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), specular=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), shininess=0.0, reflective=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), reflectivity=0.0, transparent=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), transparency=0.0, xmlnode=None)

Bases: collada.DaeObject

Class containing data coming from an <effect> tag.

__init__(id, params, shadingtype, bumpmap=None, double_sided=False, emission=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), ambient=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), diffuse=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), specular=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), shininess=0.0, reflective=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), reflectivity=0.0, transparent=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), transparency=0.0, xmlnode=None)

Create an effect instance out of properties.

Parameters:

• id (str) – A string identifier for the effect
• params (list) – A list containing elements of type collada.material.Sampler2D and collada.material.Surface
• shadingtype (str) – The type of shader to be used for this effect. Right now, we only supper the shaders listed in shaders
• bumpmap (collada.material.Map) – The bump map for this effect, or None if there isn’t one
• double_sided (bool) – Whether or not the material should be rendered double sided
• emission – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• ambient – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• diffuse – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• specular – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• shininess – Either a single float or an instance of collada.material.Map
• reflective – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• reflectivity – Either a single float or an instance of collada.material.Map
• transparent (tuple) – Either an RGB-format tuple of three floats or an instance of collada.material.Map
• transparency – Either a single float or an instance of collada.material.Map
• xmlnode – If loaded from xml, the xml node
