  • FLAG_ALBEDO_FROM_VERTEX_COLOR = 1 --- Set ALBEDO to the per-vertex color specified in the mesh.

  • FLAG_SRGB_VERTEX_COLOR = 2 --- Vertex color is in sRGB space and needs to be converted to linear. Only applies in the Vulkan renderer.

The strength of the anisotropy effect.

  • bool anisotropy_enabled

Default

false

Setter

set_feature(value)

Getter

Note: Clearcoat rendering is not visible if the material's shading_mode is SHADING_MODE_UNSHADED.

Default

0.5

Setter

set_clearcoat_gloss(value)

false

Setter

set_feature(value)

get_texture()

Texture used to specify how the detail textures get blended with the base textures.

Setter

set_texture(value)

Getter

get_texture()

get_detail_uv()

Specifies whether to use UV or UV2 for the detail layer. See DetailUV for options.

Setter

set_distance_fade_max_distance(value)

Getter

Distance at which the object appears fully opaque.

  • float distance_fade_min_distance

Default

0.0

Setter

set_distance_fade_min_distance(value)

Getter

get_distance_fade_min_distance()

Distance at which the object starts to become visible. If the object is less than this distance away, it will be invisible.

Getter

get_distance_fade()

Specifies which type of fade to use. Can be any of the DistanceFadeModes.

A high value makes the material appear more like a metal. Non-metals use their albedo as the diffuse color and add diffuse to the specular reflection. With non-metals, the reflection appears on top of the albedo color. Metals use their albedo as a multiplier to the specular reflection and set the diffuse color to black resulting in a tinted reflection. Materials work better when fully metal or fully non-metal, values between 0 and 1 should only be used for blending between metal and non-metal sections. To alter the amount of reflection use roughness.

  • float metallic_specular

Default

0.5

Setter

set_specular(value)

Getter

get_specular()

Sets the size of the specular lobe. The specular lobe is the bright spot that is reflected from light sources.

Note: Unlike metallic, this is not energy-conserving, so it should be left at 0.5 in most cases. See also roughness.

Setter

set_texture(value)

Getter

get_texture()

Texture used to specify metallic for an object. This is multiplied by metallic.

Default

0

Setter

set_metallic_texture_channel(value)

Getter

get_metallic_texture_channel()

Specifies the channel of the metallic_texture in which the metallic information is stored. This is useful when you store the information for multiple effects in a single texture. For example if you stored metallic in the red channel, roughness in the blue, and ambient occlusion in the green you could reduce the number of textures you use.

  • bool no_depth_test

Default

false

Setter

set_flag(value)

Getter

get_flag()

If true, depth testing is disabled and the object will be drawn in render order.

  • bool normal_enabled

Default

false

Setter

set_feature(value)

Getter

get_feature()

If true, normal mapping is enabled.

Default

1.0

Setter

set_normal_scale(value)

Getter

get_normal_scale()

The strength of the normal map's effect.

Setter

set_texture(value)

Getter

get_texture()

Texture used to specify the normal at a given pixel. The normal_texture only uses the red and green channels; the blue and alpha channels are ignored. The normal read from normal_texture is oriented around the surface normal provided by the Mesh.

Note: The mesh must have both normals and tangents defined in its vertex data. Otherwise, the normal map won't render correctly and will only appear to darken the whole surface. If creating geometry with SurfaceTool, you can use SurfaceTool.generate_normals and SurfaceTool.generate_tangents to automatically generate normals and tangents respectively.

Note: Godot expects the normal map to use X+, Y-, and Z+ coordinates. See this page for a comparison of normal map coordinates expected by popular engines.

Setter

set_uv1_offset(value)

  • bool uv1_triplanar

Default

false

Setter

set_flag(value)

Getter

get_flag()

If true, instead of using UV textures will use a triplanar texture lookup to determine how to apply textures. Triplanar uses the orientation of the object's surface to blend between texture coordinates. It reads from the source texture 3 times, once for each axis and then blends between the results based on how closely the pixel aligns with each axis. This is often used for natural features to get a realistic blend of materials. Because triplanar texturing requires many more texture reads per-pixel it is much slower than normal UV texturing. Additionally, because it is blending the texture between the three axes, it is unsuitable when you are trying to achieve crisp texturing.

Method DescriptionsΒΆ

Returns true, if the specified Feature is enabled.

Returns true, if the specified flag is enabled. See Flags enumerator for options.

Returns the Texture associated with the specified TextureParam.

If true, enables the specified Feature. Many features that are available in BaseMaterial3Ds need to be enabled before use. This way the cost for using the feature is only incurred when specified. Features can also be enabled by setting the corresponding member to true.

If true, enables the specified flag. Flags are optional behavior that can be turned on and off. Only one flag can be enabled at a time with this function, the flag enumerators cannot be bit-masked together to enable or disable multiple flags at once. Flags can also be enabled by setting the corresponding member to true. See Flags enumerator for options.

Sets the texture for the slot specified by param. See TextureParam for available slots.
