MaterialBuilder public constructor #393

Open bobekos opened 5 years ago

bobekos commented 5 years ago

Hi,

is there a specific reason why MaterialBuilder does not have a public constructor? What if I want to load a custom material at runtime and MaterialFactory doesn't offer anything suitable? In my example (see screenshot) , I would like to load a material (only at runtime) with "fade" as blending attribute. As you can see the Material from MaterialFactory.makeTransparentWithTexture is not applied to specular lighting.

A workaround is to bundle your custom material in a .sfb with a simple model (1 triangle) and use getMaterial() after loading the .sfb.

@romainguy Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I think I have no other alternative. Nevertheless, it would be nice if it could be possible in the future.

We should definitely improve this API. I'll reopen the issue so we can track this feature.
