 Note: not all shaders support joints and not all shaders support transparency! So you have to choose them carefully.
-If you don't want to use textures but static material colors ( Note, no procedural textures! ), you have to use a special shader for them. By default the exporter writes the material color for geometry that don't have textures as a uniform to the material files. If you want to use these uniforms the shader must exactly use this uniform name, currently ''Materialcol''. If you want to use the material color you might try using the [http://mm-werkstatt.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/public/Horde3D/assets/Horde3D/shaders/materialCol.shader.xml materialCol.shader.xml] in place of standard.shader.xml or [http://mm-werkstatt.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/public/Horde3D/assets/Horde3D/shaders/materialCol.shader.xml skinningMatcol.shader.xml] in place of skinning.shader.xml.

 ''Shader'' is automatically set to ''shaders/model.shader'' and ''F01_Skinning''. For parallax shading, etc. you need to change the *.material.xml.
