Regardless if I use the gui game editor or not, can materials still be rendered into the game scene?

I understand that rusty-editor currently only supports textures, however, I was wondering if the core of the game engine supports materials as well or is this something that is being worked on?

If it is something that is being worked on, is there an issue tracker or something where I can track the progress?

rusty-editor has full support of materials as well as the engine.

@mrDIMAS You were telling me that it only supports textures and not materials though? Like I am not able to import materials from my model?

I believe that the engine can render materials in fbx model without any issues. You do not need to use rusty-editor. Currently I am making an open source game project without using rusty-editor.

@IceGuye I understand that the rusty-editor does not support materials (only textures) in my experience, but when the entire game is compiled, then the materials is able to render?

[mrDIMAS]

I think it should be clarified what I mean by materials. Material is a set of shaders with some properties, that's all. You, in turn, probably mean FBX materials which is a different thing. FBX material contains a set of properties (like diffuse texture, normal, height, diffuse color, etc), currently rg3d's FBX importer is not able to fully map FBX material to engine's material. Currently it reads only textures from FBX, and ignores diffuse color. This is where it happens, you could try handle a diffuse color property there, that might be a good first PR.

@mrDIMAS

currently rg3d's FBX importer is not able to fully map FBX material to engine's material.

I believe the support for materials is currently being worked on, is there some issue I can track or something?

[mrDIMAS]

FBX importer now supports diffuse color (fixed in #164), so I think this issues can be closed too.

@mrDIMAS That is awesome mate =D

[Joe23232]

@mrDIMAS Can it support emissions and glossy properties or is it being worked on?

Can it also support models that has Blender created animations via armature bones or is this something being worked on?
