D3DMATERIAL9

Specifies material properties.

typedef struct D3DMATERIAL9 {
    D3DCOLORVALUE Diffuse;
    D3DCOLORVALUE Ambient;
    D3DCOLORVALUE Specular;
    D3DCOLORVALUE Emissive;
    float Power;
} D3DMATERIAL9, *LPD3DMATERIAL9;

Members

Diffuse

Value specifying the diffuse color of the material. See D3DCOLORVALUE.

Ambient

Value specifying the ambient color of the material. See D3DCOLORVALUE.

Specular

Value specifying the specular color of the material. See D3DCOLORVALUE.

Emissive

Value specifying the emissive color of the material. See D3DCOLORVALUE.

Power

Floating-point value specifying the sharpness of specular highlights. The higher the value, the sharper the highlight.

Remarks

To turn off specular highlights, set D3DRS_SPECULARENABLE to FALSE, using D3DRENDERSTATETYPE. This is the fastest option because no specular highlights will be calculated.

For more information about using the lighting engine to calculate specular lighting, see Specular Lighting.
