[Plib-users] RE: How to determine surface material by ssgState texture fi lename ?

[McEvoy, N. <nic...@ds...>]

Sorry I'm answering my own question ...

I think I now understand what TuxKart is doing (in Material.cxx).

The idea is:
- use ssgSetAppStateCallback() to register that you want to create your own ssgStates when the model is loaded.  So depending on the texture filename I create my own state (similar to TuxKart Material.h/cxx).

Then this is what I can get to in the ssgHit->leaf->getState() thus having a simple integer flag to tell me the material type (instead of having to do a strcmp on the filename).

Just brilliant !!!  :)

Sorry to trouble you all ... :)
