Loading a Material from Library

The materials provided by REDmaterials can be easily loaded from the library resource files. Here is an example with the Concrete04 material:

// Get a pointer to the RED resource manager.
RED::Object* resmgr = RED::Factory::CreateInstance( CID_REDResourceManager );
RED::IResourceManager* iresmgr = resmgr->As< RED::IResourceManager >();

// Create the file to handle the loading.
RED::Object* redfile = RED::Factory::CreateInstance( CID_REDFile );
if( !redfile )
RC_TEST( RED_FAIL );

RED::IREDFile* ifile = redfile->As< RED::IREDFile >();
RED::StreamingPolicy policy;
RED::FileHeader header;
RED::FileInfo finfo;
RED::Vector< unsigned int > ctx;

// Load the scene from realistic.red.
RC_TEST( ifile->Load( "concrete_Concrete04.red", iresmgr->GetState(), policy, header, finfo, ctx ) );

RC_TEST( RED::Factory::DeleteInstance( redfile, iresmgr->GetState() ) );

// Retrieve the realistic material from the scene.
RED::Object* realistic = iresmgr->FindMaterial( "material" );
if( !realistic )
RC_TEST( RED_FAIL );
RED::IMaterial* irealistic = realistic->As< RED::IMaterial >();

// Retrieve the realistic material controller.
RED::Object* realisticctrl = iresmgr->GetMaterialController( realistic );
RED::IMaterialController* irealisticctrl = realisticctrl->As< RED::IMaterialController >();

After the loading, the controller is simply retrieved with the RED::IResourceManager::GetMaterialController function.
