NAME

SDL::Tutorial::3DWorld::MTL - Support for loading material libraries from MTL files

SYNOPSIS

# Create the object but don't load anything
my $mtl = SDL::Tutorial::3DWorld::MTL->new(
    file => 'mymaterials.mtl',
);

# Locate a material in the library
$mtl->material('glass');

DESCRIPTION

SDL::Tutorial::3DWorld::MTL provides a basic implementation of an MTL file parser. MTL files are libraries of material (surface) definitions to be consumed (by name) by OBJ models.

Given a file name, it will load the file and parse the contents into an abstract set of material objects. However, no dependency files or textures of the materials are loaded. Any materials that you use on real models will need to be initialised before the objects they are applied to are displayed.

The current implementation is extremely preliminary and functionality will be gradually fleshed out over time.
