Set color

[mik]

Hi again,

until now i have setting the color of my meshes loading a texture of that color from a file and then creating a material from these texture, but now i'm interested on set the color of a mesh (in particular a submesh of a General Mesh) using code (i.e., using a RGB format). How can i do that? I can't find it in the documentation.

Thank you.

Code:

<material name="red">
  <color red="1" green="0" blue="0" />
</material>

That method is for loading the objects from a file, but i need set the color while programming the object in c++. Any idea? I'm using General Mesh.

There are different ways with different benefits. Vertex colors for example, I think they can be set with iMeshObject.SetColor()? Those only work with a shader that reads them, like std_lighting. You could also change the texture it's self, like by drawing on it. You could just modify any shader to use a custom value.
