CreateShaderRecord

Description

Creates a shader record of the desired family (1 = color, 2 = reflectivity, 3 = transparency, 4 = bump) and prototype (constants depend on family value).

Textures in Vectorworks are stored using records, called shader records. The record values are accessed using RecordHandler routines as for other records in Vectorworks. The first three fields of the shader record are always:

#Family #Prototype #Version

Family values are:

Value Name
1 Color
2 Reflectivity
3 Transparency
4 Bump
5 Background
6 Foreground
7 Sketch (Artistic RW)

Prototype values depend on the Family value. These are the Prototype values for each Family:

enum MaxonColorShaderPrototype {
	kMaxonColor_Plain = 40,
	kMaxonColor_Image = 41,
	kMaxonColor_Fresnel = 42,
	kMaxonColor_Noise = 43,
	kMaxonColor_Tiles = 44,
	kMaxonColor_Bricks = 45,
	kMaxonColor_Pavement = 46
};

enum MaxonReflectivityShaderPrototype {
	kMaxonReflectivity_Image = 30,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Mirror = 31,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Fresnel = 32,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Noise = 33,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Tiles = 34,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Plastic = 35,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Bricks = 36,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Pavement = 37,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Glow = 38,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Backlit = 39,
	kMaxonReflectivity_Anisotropic = 40
};

enum MaxonTransparencyShaderPrototype {
	kMaxonTransparency_Plain = 10,
	kMaxonTransparency_Color = 11,
	kMaxonTransparency_Image = 12,
	kMaxonTransparency_Glass = 13,
	kMaxonTransparency_Noise = 14,
	kMaxonTransparency_Tiles = 15,
	kMaxonTransparency_Bricks = 16,
	kMaxonTransparency_Pavement = 17,
	kMaxonTransparency_RectangularMask = 18,
	kMaxonTransparency_ImageMask = 19
};

enum MaxonBumpShaderPrototype {
	kMaxonBump_Image = 41,
	kMaxonBump_Noise = 42,
	kMaxonBump_Tiles = 43,
	kMaxonBump_Bricks = 44,
	kMaxonBump_Pavement = 45
};
FUNCTION CreateShaderRecord(
				texture   : HANDLE;
				family    : LONGINT;
				prototype : LONGINT): HANDLE;
def vs.CreateShaderRecord(texture, family, prototype):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

Name Type Description
texture HANDLE The shader record will be attached to this texture.
family LONGINT The kind of shader to create (1 = color, 2 = reflectivity, 3 = transparency, 4 = bump)
prototype LONGINT The specific shader within the family (constants depend on the family value).
