collada.material.Material

class collada.material.Material(id, name, effect, xmlnode=None)

Class containing data coming from a <material> tag.

Right now, this just stores a reference to the effect which is instantiated in the material. The effect instance can have parameters, but this is rarely used in the wild, so it is not yet implemented.

• id (str) – A unique string identifier for the material
