[Solved] Access to shader name

Jack of Spades

I'm trying to find a way to access the shader name as displayed on the Surfaces panel. I need to distinguish between different shaders that are all DzBrickMaterials. It looked like from another example I could do material.GetShader(), but that's coming back undefined. Help?

You use GetMaterialName() on DzMaterial.  The following code will iterate through the surfaces of the selected item and give you their Shader names:

var oNode = Scene.getPrimarySelection();var oObj = oNode.getObject();var oShape = oObj.getCurrentShape();var nMat = oShape.getNumMaterials();for (var k=0; k < nMat; k++) {	var oMat = oShape.getMaterial(k);	var sName = oMat.getName();	var oShader = oMat.getMaterialName();		print( sName + ": " + oShader );}

Thank you Cayman! That's exactly what I needed.
