siShaderParameterDataType

Introduced

9.0 (2011)

Description

Defines the Shader parameter type for a Parameter object belonging to Shader, Material, Light or Camera. Shader parameter types only apply to parameters that support the siTexturable capability. This can be tested using the Parameter.Capabilities property. The output type of a shader can be checked using the Shader.OutputType property.

Note: Each data type, apart from siShaderDataTypeUnknown, has also an equivalent string name that can be used to create shader parameter definitions using type strings, instead of this enum. Custom port types can't be registered using those built-in string names. The string names are shown in brackets after each type's description.
