Well, see thing is I wanted a different solution so I could toggle different
shaders (of the same texture) on a model. But my models happen to have 2
different materials they use. It would be nice to be able to grab a specific
material pointer from a model and change the Shader it uses.
My temporary method is to use SetShaderAndParams on the material "index",
which changes the material Params globally across all models using the same
materials. However, there is a function in
IStudioRender.h"GetMaterialList" that gives you a list of materials
the model has. If its
possible to get the list, it should be possible to alter it. I guess we
need Valve to allow us access to this list and be able to alter it. Maybe
something like ForceOverride( int index, IMaterial *pMat ) which runs on the
models studiorender class. That would be very handy =).
