Parameters

input
Type: MaterialContent
The material content to build.
context
Type: ContentProcessorContext
Context for the specified processor.

Return Value

Type: MaterialContent
The built material.

Remarks

If the MaterialContent is of type EffectMaterialContent, a build is requested for Effect, and validation will be performed on the OpaqueData to ensure that all parameters are valid input to SetValue or SetValueTranspose. If the MaterialContent is a BasicMaterialContent, no validation will be performed on OpaqueData. Process requests builds for all textures in Textures, unless the MaterialContent is of type BasicMaterialContent, in which case a build will only be requested for DiffuseColor. The textures in Textures will be ignored.
