MaterialProcessor

class MaterialProcessor : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.Pipeline.ContentProcessor<MaterialContent, MaterialContent>, IContentProcessor

Provides methods and properties for maintaining a collection of named texture references.

Color ColorKeyColor

Gets or sets the color value to replace with transparent black.

Value:Color value of the material to replace with transparent black.

bool ColorKeyEnabled

Specifies whether color keying of a texture is enabled.

Value:true if color keying is enabled; false otherwise.

MaterialProcessorDefaultEffect DefaultEffect

The default effect type for this instance of MaterialProcessor.

Value:The default effect type.

bool GenerateMipmaps

Specifies if a full chain of mipmaps are generated from the source material. Existing mipmaps of the material are not replaced.

Value:true if mipmap generation is enabled; false otherwise.

bool PremultiplyTextureAlpha

Specifies whether alpha premultiply of textures is enabled.

Value:true if alpha premultiply is enabled; false otherwise.

bool ResizeTexturesToPowerOfTwo

Specifies whether resizing of a material is enabled.

If ResizeTexturesToPowerOfTwo is enabled, the material is resized to the next largest power of two.

Value:true if resizing is enabled; false otherwise.

TextureProcessorOutputFormat TextureFormat

Specifies the texture format of output materials. Materials can either be left unchanged from the source asset, converted to a corresponding Color, or compressed using the appropriate DxtCompressed format.
