Explain the material face property of 3D shapes in JavaFX

This material property specifies the type of material the 3D object should be covered with. You can set the value to this property using the setMaterial() method.

you need to pass an object of the type Material. The PhongMaterial class of the package javafx.scene.paint is a sub class of this class and provides 7 properties that represent a phong shaded material. You can apply all these types of materials to the surface of a 3D shape using the setter methods of these properties. Following are the type of materials that are available in JavaFX −

• bumpMap − This represents a normal map stored as an RGB Image.

• diffuseMap − This represents a diffuse map.

• selfIlluminationMap − This represents a self-illumination map of this PhongMaterial.

• specularMap − This represents a specular map of this PhongMaterial.

• diffuseColor − This represents a diffuse color of this PhongMaterial.

• specularColor − This represents a specular color of this PhongMaterial.

• specularPower − This represents a specular power of this PhongMaterial.
