function OnAssignMaterialModel (material : Material, renderer : Renderer) : Material

Description

Feeds a source material

The returned material will be assigned to the renderer. If you return null, Unity will use its default material finding / generation method to assign a material. The sourceMaterial is generated directly from the model before importing and will be destroyed immediately after OnAssignMaterial.

class MyMeshPostprocessor extends AssetPostprocessor {

function OnAssignMaterialModel (material : Material, renderer : Renderer) : Material {
var materialPath = "Assets/" + material.name + ".mat";

// Find if there is a material at the material path
 // Turn this off to always regeneration materials
 if (AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(materialPath, typeof(Material)))
return AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(materialPath, typeof(Material));

// Create a new material asset using the specular shader
 // but otherwise the default values from the model
 material.shader = Shader.Find("Specular");
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(material, "Assets/" + material.name + ".mat");
return material;
}
