material.setFog() doesn't work

I am trying to change the fog settings of a material programatically on each frame. This seems to work only the first time. Each consecutive attempt fails, meaning I can't see any changes in the render window.

I query the fog properties of the material, they do actually change. I also have tried to set the fog on technique level and pass level but no difference either.

the code I use is something like this:

MaterialPtr material = MaterialManager.Singleton.GetByName("materialName");
material.SetFog(true,FogMode.LINEAR,new ColourValue(1,1,1),0.001f,10,100);

Any idea?

Oh, I still use Mogre 1.8, btw.

solved it. You haved to set the material name on the object that the material is applied to after the material property has been set (ie fog override properties)
