Description

The Substance class is used to hold information about a particular substance, such as wood or metal, that can be associated with a material object or a physics shape. An instance of the Substance class is typically created by the application for each different type of substance and registered with the engine by calling the MaterialObject::RegisterSubstance function. A subclass of the Substance class can be used to store additional application-specific information about each substance.
