material (m) Messagen/aoutputinputconnectable
Connection to material to monitor.
shadingGroup (sg) Messagen/aoutputinputconnectable
Connection to shading engine group to monitor.
texture (t) Messagen/aarrayinputconnectable
Connection to texture to monitor.
textureChannel (tc) Messagen/aoutputinputconnectable
Connection to the texture plug to sample. In most cases, the outColor attribute will be used; but by connecting the desired plug (for example, file1.outColor) to this attribute you can override which attribute materialInfo will sample.
textureFilter (tmip) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
Specifies the filter type to be applied to the single material on the object. Default using the view port defined filter.
textureName (tn) stringNULLoutputinputhidden
Texture name to monitor for TdnHwShader nodes
texturePlug (tp) stringNULLoutputconnectable
Returns the name of the plug (for example, file1.outColor) being sampled by hardware texturing.
