Using Materials

In this document, you will learn how to load and use Materials in your applications.

Load Material from code

The following sample code can be used to instantiate an existing material asset and apply it to an entity in your scene.

protected override void CreateScene()
{
    var assetsService = Application.Current.Container.Resolve<AssetsService>();

    // Load Material
    Material defaultMaterial = assetsService.Load<Material>(EvergineContent.Materials.DefaultMaterial);

    // Apply to an entity
    Entity primitive = new Entity()
            .AddComponent(new Transform3D())
            .AddComponent(new MaterialComponent() { Material = defaultMaterial })
            .AddComponent(new SphereMesh())
            .AddComponent(new MeshRenderer());

    this.Managers.EntityManager.Add(primitive);
}
