White material components

[Intercyber]

Hi,

I've been having a problem whereby I cannot change a Material's
component constant _from_ white and I've modified
Material::Component::similarTo() to fix this by changing the final
return to check the constant:

// Two components are similar if they both have/do not have texture
// maps and constants.
return map.isNull() == other.map.isNull() &&
constant == other.constant;

This works for me but I guess it would also be possible to change
Material::isWhite() to not include the null map condition in the same
way as isBlack(). I'm not sure of the implications of that though.

Hi Martin,

Thanks.  Is this in G3D 7.01 or 8.0 beta?

This is in 7.01, although I'm looking forwards to playing with 8.0
once it's released.

We're going to put out a beta in a few days.  The Material::Component class was completely rewritten and fixes a lot of little bugs like this.

As soon as it's out I'll give it a go and let you know whether it's
still a problem.
Thanks a lot.
