Class CustomMaterial

Gets or sets a boolean indicating that the material is allowed (if supported) to do shader hot swapping. This means that the material can keep using a previous shader while a new one is being compiled. This is mostly used when shader parallel compilation is supported (true by default)

Defines the alpha limits in alpha test mode.

The color of the material lit by the environmental background lighting.

AKA Occlusion Texture in other nomenclature, it helps adding baked shadows into your material.

Stores the animations for the material

Bump mapping is a technique to simulate bump and dents on a rendered surface. These are made by creating a normal map from an image. The means to do this can be found on the web, a search for 'normal map generator' will bring up free and paid for methods of doing this.

Specifies if the ready state should be checked on each call

Specifies if the ready state should be checked once

Custom callback helping to override the default shader used in the material.

Specifies the depth function that should be used. 0 means the default engine function

Defines the detail map parameters for the material.

The basic color of the material as viewed under a light.

Define the diffuse fresnel parameters of the material.

The basic texture of the material as viewed under a light.

Specifies if color writing should be disabled

Specifies if depth writing should be disabled

Does lights from the scene impacts this material. It can be a nice trick for performance to disable lighting on a fully emissive material.

Specifies if the material should be serialized

Define the color of the material as if self lit. This will be mixed in the final result even in the absence of light.

Define the emissive fresnel parameters of the material.

Define texture of the material as if self lit. This will be mixed in the final result even in the absence of light.

Specifies if depth writing should be forced

Callback triggered to get the render target textures

The ID of the material

In case of refraction, define the value of the index of refraction.

List of inspectable custom properties (used by the Inspector)

If sets to true, x component of normal map value will invert (x = 1.0 - x).

If sets to true, y component of normal map value will invert (y = 1.0 - y).

Invert the refraction texture alongside the y axis. It can be useful with procedural textures or probe for instance.

Complex lighting can be computationally expensive to compute at runtime. To save on computation, lightmaps may be used to store calculated lighting in a texture which will be applied to a given mesh.

If true, some kind of energy conservation will prevent the end result to be more than 1 by reducing the emissive level when the final color is close to one.

Defines the maximum number of lights that can be used in the material

Gets or sets user defined metadata

The name of the material

Callback triggered when the material is compiled

An event triggered when the material is disposed

Callback triggered when an error occurs

Define the opacity fresnel parameters of the material.

Define the transparency of the material from a texture. The final alpha value can be read either from the red channel (if texture.getAlphaFromRGB is false) or from the luminance or the current texel (if texture.getAlphaFromRGB is true)

Apply a scaling factor that determine which "depth" the height map should reprensent. A value between 0.05 and 0.1 is reasonnable in Parallax, you can reach 0.2 using Parallax Occlusion.

Stores the size of points

Defines additional PrePass parameters for the material.

Define the reflection fresnel parameters of the material.

Define the texture used to display the reflection.

Define the refraction fresnel parameters of the material.

Define the texture used to display the refraction.

For internal use only. Please do not use.

Helps to define how blurry the reflections should appears in the material.

Specifies if there should be a separate pass for culling

Custom shadow depth material to use for shadow rendering instead of the in-built one

Stores the value for side orientation

Define how the color and intensity of the highlight given by the light in the material.

Defines how sharp are the highlights in the material. The bigger the value the sharper giving a more glossy feeling to the result. Reversely, the smaller the value the blurrier giving a more rough feeling to the result.

Define how the color and intensity of the highlight given by the light in the material.

The state of the material

Gives access to the stencil properties of the material

If sets to true and backfaceCulling is false, normals will be flipped on the backside.

Gets or sets the unique id of the material

Does the transparency come from the diffuse texture alpha channel.

If true, the emissive value is added into the end result, otherwise it is multiplied in.

Defines if the glossiness/roughness of the material should be read from the specular map alpha channel

In case of light mapping, define whether the map contains light or shadow informations.

Allows using an object space normal map (instead of tangent space).

Is parallax enabled or not.

Is parallax occlusion enabled or not. If true, the outcome is way more realistic than traditional Parallax but you can expect a performance hit that worthes consideration.

If true automatically deducts the fresnels values from the material specularity.

Specifies that the material will keeps the reflection highlights over a transparent surface (only the most luminous ones). A car glass is a good exemple of that. When the street lights reflects on it you can not see what is behind.

Specifies that the material will keep the specular highlights over a transparent surface (only the most luminous ones). A car glass is a good exemple of that. When sun reflects on it you can not see what is behind.

Stores the z offset Factor value

Stores the z offset Units value
