Simple string

<Material></Material>

<Material></Material>

This is more or less Material data with the given material properties, such as:

• material name
• material ID (unique ID generated by GIANTS Engine)
• specular color
• custom shader ID (unique ID, not shader name)
• custom shader variation (shader variant)

You usually pick specular colour in the Material Editing Panel (GIANTS Editor), but you can also assign shaders. For imported assets/3D meshes that already have materials assigned, GIANTS Editor uses the specular colour from the imported material data (usually assigned BEFORE exporting from a 3D application).

Specular maps (also known as gloss map *XML i3d reference*) will be listed on a separate line, such as:

<Material name="alfaconcrwhite_mat" materialId="12" customShaderId="710" customShaderVariation="customDiffuseBlend">
      <Texture fileId="834"/>
      <Normalmap fileId="876"/>
      <Glossmap fileId="731"/>

<Material name="alfaconcrwhite_mat" materialId="12" customShaderId="710" customShaderVariation="customDiffuseBlend">
      <Texture fileId="834"/>
      <Normalmap fileId="876"/>
      <Glossmap fileId="731"/>
