RenderMaterial Properties

Determines if the content can be edited.

Category for this content.

Returns the localized display name of the child slot name

Set or get the default scene background for the image that appears in preview panes

Set or get the default geometry that appears in preview panes

The default preview geometry size

Display name for this content.

Obsolete. Do not use. You should use DocumentOwner instead.

If this render content is associated with a document in any way, the document will be returned. This includes copies of render contents that were attached to a document when the copy was made. Otherwise returns null.

If this render content is owned by a document, the document will be returned. This is the same as getting the document the render content is attached to. Otherwise returns null.

Obsolete. Do not use. You should use DocumentOwner instead.

Rhino.Render.Fields FieldDictionary which provides access to setting and retrieving field values.

If the content is file based, this function can be overridden to deal with setting/getting the filename. Corresponds to IRhRdkFileBasedContent in the C++ SDK

A string array of full paths to files used by the content that may be embedded in .3dm files and library files (.rmtl, .renv, .rtex). The default implementation returns an empty string list. Override this to return the file name or file names used by your content. This is typically used by textures that reference files containing the texture imagery.

Return First child of this content or nullptr if none.

Group ID of the content

Gets or sets the render content's 'hidden' state. This feature only works for top-level render contents because it hides the entire hierarchy. It is normally used for 'implementation detail' render contents. For expert use only. Hidden render contents are never shown in the UI, with the exception of the Object (or Layer) Material Properties UI which always shows whatever is assigned to the object (or layer). In the Object (or Layer) Material Properties UI, if the user drops down the list, hidden render contents are not listed. Hidden render contents, being part of the document content list, will be listed by any scripts or other code that iterates over the document render content list. It is recommended that you set IsHidden once when you create your render content and leave it on to prevent flicker or slow performance.

Instance identifier for this content.

Checks if render content is default instance.

Contents can be created as 'auto-delete' by certain commands such as 'Picture'. These contents are automatically hidden from the user when the associated Rhino object is deleted. They are later deleted when the document is saved.

Set this property to true prior to adding content to the document to lock the content browser editing UI methods. Setting this to true will keep the browser from allowing things like deleting, renaming or changing content. This is useful for custom child content that you want to be editable but persistent. Setting this after adding content to the document will cause an exception to be thrown.

Instance 'raw' name for this content.

Return First sibling of this content or nullptr if none.

Notes for this content.

Returns the top content in this parent/child chain.

Gets the proxy type of the render content

Render hash for the content hierarchy. It iterates children and includes a caching mechanism which means the hash value can be retrieved quickly if it hasn't changed. The cache is invalidated when Changed() is called. You can override the CalculateRenderHash(UInt64) method to provide a custom hash value.

Tags for this content.

Returns true if this content has no parent, false if it is the child of another content.

Returns the top content in this parent/child chain.

Description for your content type. ie. "Procedural checker pattern"

Type identifier for this content

Name for your content type. ie. "My .net Texture"
