BaseMaterial3D

Inherits Material

Abstract base class for defining the 3D rendering properties of meshes.

Description

This class serves as a default material with a wide variety of rendering features and properties without the need to write shader code. See the tutorial below for details.

Properties

Color albedo_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

The material's base color. Note: If detail_enabled is true and a detail_albedo texture is specified, albedo_color will not modulate the detail texture. This can be used to color partial areas of a material by not specifying an albedo texture and using a transparent detail_albedo texture instead.

float alpha_antialiasing_edge

Threshold at which antialiasing will be applied on the alpha channel.

int alpha_antialiasing_mode

The type of alpha antialiasing to apply.

float alpha_hash_scale

The hashing scale for Alpha Hash. Recommended values between 0 and 2.

float alpha_scissor_threshold

Threshold at which the alpha scissor will discard values. Higher values will result in more pixels being discarded. If the material becomes too opaque at a distance, try increasing alpha_scissor_threshold. If the material disappears at a distance, try decreasing alpha_scissor_threshold.

float anisotropy = 0.0

The strength of the anisotropy effect. This is multiplied by anisotropy_flowmap's alpha channel if a texture is defined there and the texture contains an alpha channel.

bool anisotropy_enabled = false

If true, anisotropy is enabled. Anisotropy changes the shape of the specular blob and aligns it to tangent space. This is useful for brushed aluminum and hair reflections. Note: Mesh tangents are needed for anisotropy to work. If the mesh does not contain tangents, the anisotropy effect will appear broken. Note: Material anisotropy should not to be confused with anisotropic texture filtering, which can be enabled by setting texture_filter to TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC.

Texture2D anisotropy_flowmap

Texture that offsets the tangent map for anisotropy calculations and optionally controls the anisotropy effect (if an alpha channel is present). The flowmap texture is expected to be a derivative map, with the red channel representing distortion on the X axis and green channel representing distortion on the Y axis. Values below 0.5 will result in negative distortion, whereas values above 0.5 will result in positive distortion. If present, the texture's alpha channel will be used to multiply the strength of the anisotropy effect. Fully opaque pixels will keep the anisotropy effect's original strength while fully transparent pixels will disable the anisotropy effect entirely. The flowmap texture's blue channel is ignored.

bool ao_enabled = false

If true, ambient occlusion is enabled. Ambient occlusion darkens areas based on the ao_texture.

float ao_light_affect = 0.0

Amount that ambient occlusion affects lighting from lights. If 0, ambient occlusion only affects ambient light. If 1, ambient occlusion affects lights just as much as it affects ambient light. This can be used to impact the strength of the ambient occlusion effect, but typically looks unrealistic.

bool ao_on_uv2 = false

If true, use UV2 coordinates to look up from the ao_texture.

Texture2D ao_texture

Texture that defines the amount of ambient occlusion for a given point on the object.

int ao_texture_channel = 0

Specifies the channel of the ao_texture in which the ambient occlusion 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.

Color backlight = Color(0, 0, 0, 1)

The color used by the backlight effect. Represents the light passing through an object.

Texture2D backlight_texture

Texture used to control the backlight effect per-pixel. Added to backlight.

bool bent_normal_enabled = false

If true, the bent normal map is enabled. This allows for more accurate indirect lighting and specular occlusion.

Texture2D bent_normal_texture

Texture that specifies the average direction of incoming ambient light at a given pixel. The bent_normal_texture only uses the red and green channels; the blue and alpha channels are ignored. The normal read from bent_normal_texture is oriented around the surface normal provided by the Mesh. Note: A bent normal map is different from a regular normal map. When baking a bent normal map make sure to use a cosine distribution for the bent normal map to work correctly. Note: The mesh must have both normals and tangents defined in its vertex data. Otherwise, the shading produced by the bent normal map will not look correct. If creating geometry with SurfaceTool, you can use SurfaceTool.generate_normals() and SurfaceTool.generate_tangents() to automatically generate normals and tangents respectively. Note: Redot expects the bent normal map to use X+, Y+, and Z+ coordinates. See this page for a comparison of normal map coordinates expected by popular engines.

bool billboard_keep_scale = false

If true, the shader will keep the scale set for the mesh. Otherwise, the scale is lost when billboarding. Only applies when billboard_mode is not BILLBOARD_DISABLED.

int billboard_mode = 0

Controls how the object faces the camera. Note: Billboard mode is not suitable for VR because the left-right vector of the camera is not horizontal when the screen is attached to your head instead of on the table. See GitHub issue #41567 for details.

int blend_mode = 0

The material's blend mode. Note: Values other than Mix force the object into the transparent pipeline.

float clearcoat = 1.0

Sets the strength of the clearcoat effect. Setting to 0 looks the same as disabling the clearcoat effect.

bool clearcoat_enabled = false

If true, clearcoat rendering is enabled. Adds a secondary transparent pass to the lighting calculation resulting in an added specular blob. This makes materials appear as if they have a clear layer on them that can be either glossy or rough. Note: Clearcoat rendering is not visible if the material's shading_mode is SHADING_MODE_UNSHADED.

float clearcoat_roughness = 0.5

Sets the roughness of the clearcoat pass. A higher value results in a rougher clearcoat while a lower value results in a smoother clearcoat.

Texture2D clearcoat_texture

Texture that defines the strength of the clearcoat effect and the glossiness of the clearcoat. Strength is specified in the red channel while glossiness is specified in the green channel.

int cull_mode = 0

Determines which side of the triangle to cull depending on whether the triangle faces towards or away from the camera.

int depth_draw_mode = 0

Determines when depth rendering takes place. See also transparency.

int depth_test = 0

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

Determines which comparison operator is used when testing depth. See DepthTest. Note: Changing depth_test to a non-default value only has a visible effect when used on a transparent material, or a material that has depth_draw_mode set to DEPTH_DRAW_DISABLED.

int detail_blend_mode = 0

Specifies how the detail_albedo should blend with the current ALBEDO.

bool detail_enabled = false

If true, enables the detail overlay. Detail is a second texture that gets mixed over the surface of the object based on detail_mask and detail_albedo's alpha channel. This can be used to add variation to objects, or to blend between two different albedo/normal textures.

Texture2D detail_mask

Texture used to specify how the detail textures get blended with the base textures. detail_mask can be used together with detail_albedo's alpha channel (if any).

Texture2D detail_normal

Texture that specifies the per-pixel normal of the detail overlay. The detail_normal texture only uses the red and green channels; the blue and alpha channels are ignored. The normal read from detail_normal is oriented around the surface normal provided by the Mesh. Note: Redot 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.

int detail_uv_layer = 0

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

int diffuse_mode = 0

The algorithm used for diffuse light scattering.

bool disable_ambient_light = false

If true, the object receives no ambient light.

bool disable_fog = false

If true, the object will not be affected by fog (neither volumetric nor depth fog). This is useful for unshaded or transparent materials (e.g. particles), which without this setting will be affected even if fully transparent.

bool disable_receive_shadows = false

If true, the object receives no shadow that would otherwise be cast onto it.

int distance_fade_mode = 0

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

bool emission_enabled = false

If true, the body emits light. Emitting light makes the object appear brighter. The object can also cast light on other objects if a VoxelGI, SDFGI, or LightmapGI is used and this object is used in baked lighting.

Texture2D emission_texture

Texture that specifies how much surface emits light at a given point.

bool fixed_size = false

If true, the object is rendered at the same size regardless of distance. The object's size on screen is the same as if the camera was 1.0 units away from the object's origin, regardless of the actual distance from the camera. The Camera3D's field of view (or Camera3D.size when in orthogonal/frustum mode) still affects the size the object is drawn at.

float fov_override = 75.0

Overrides the Camera3D's field of view angle (in degrees). Note: This behaves as if the field of view is set on a Camera3D with Camera3D.keep_aspect set to Camera3D.KEEP_HEIGHT. Additionally, it may not look correct on a non-perspective camera where the field of view setting is ignored.

bool grow = false

If true, enables the vertex grow setting. This can be used to create mesh-based outlines using a second material pass and its cull_mode set to CULL_FRONT. See also grow_amount. Note: Vertex growth cannot create new vertices, which means that visible gaps may occur in sharp corners. This can be alleviated by designing the mesh to use smooth normals exclusively using face weighted normals in the 3D authoring software. In this case, grow will be able to join every outline together, just like in the original mesh.

float grow_amount = 0.0

Grows object vertices in the direction of their normals. Only effective if grow is true.

bool heightmap_deep_parallax = false

If true, uses parallax occlusion mapping to represent depth in the material instead of simple offset mapping (see heightmap_enabled). This results in a more convincing depth effect, but is much more expensive on the GPU. Only enable this on materials where it makes a significant visual difference.

bool heightmap_enabled = false

If true, height mapping is enabled (also called "parallax mapping" or "depth mapping"). See also normal_enabled. Height mapping is a demanding feature on the GPU, so it should only be used on materials where it makes a significant visual difference. Note: Height mapping is not supported if triplanar mapping is used on the same material. The value of heightmap_enabled will be ignored if uv1_triplanar is enabled.

bool heightmap_flip_binormal = false

If true, flips the mesh's binormal vectors when interpreting the height map. If the heightmap effect looks strange when the camera moves (even with a reasonable heightmap_scale), try setting this to true.

bool heightmap_flip_tangent = false

If true, flips the mesh's tangent vectors when interpreting the height map. If the heightmap effect looks strange when the camera moves (even with a reasonable heightmap_scale), try setting this to true.

bool heightmap_flip_texture = false

If true, interprets the height map texture as a depth map, with brighter values appearing to be "lower" in altitude compared to darker values. This can be enabled for compatibility with some materials authored for Godot 3.x. This is not necessary if the Invert import option was used to invert the depth map in Godot 3.x, in which case heightmap_flip_texture should remain false.

int heightmap_max_layers

The number of layers to use for parallax occlusion mapping when the camera is up close to the material. Higher values result in a more convincing depth effect, especially in materials that have steep height changes. Higher values have a significant cost on the GPU, so it should only be increased on materials where it makes a significant visual difference. Note: Only effective if heightmap_deep_parallax is true.

int heightmap_min_layers

The number of layers to use for parallax occlusion mapping when the camera is far away from the material. Higher values result in a more convincing depth effect, especially in materials that have steep height changes. Higher values have a significant cost on the GPU, so it should only be increased on materials where it makes a significant visual difference. Note: Only effective if heightmap_deep_parallax is true.

float heightmap_scale = 5.0

The heightmap scale to use for the parallax effect (see heightmap_enabled). The default value is tuned so that the highest point (value = 255) appears to be 5 cm higher than the lowest point (value = 0). Higher values result in a deeper appearance, but may result in artifacts appearing when looking at the material from oblique angles, especially when the camera moves. Negative values can be used to invert the parallax effect, but this is different from inverting the texture using heightmap_flip_texture as the material will also appear to be "closer" to the camera. In most cases, heightmap_scale should be kept to a positive value. Note: If the height map effect looks strange regardless of this value, try adjusting heightmap_flip_binormal and heightmap_flip_tangent. See also heightmap_texture for recommendations on authoring heightmap textures, as the way the heightmap texture is authored affects how heightmap_scale behaves.

Texture2D heightmap_texture

The texture to use as a height map. See also heightmap_enabled. For best results, the texture should be normalized (with heightmap_scale reduced to compensate). In GIMP, this can be done using Colors > Auto > Equalize. If the texture only uses a small part of its available range, the parallax effect may look strange, especially when the camera moves. Note: To reduce memory usage and improve loading times, you may be able to use a lower-resolution heightmap texture as most heightmaps are only comprised of low-frequency data.

float metallic = 0.0

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 = 0.5

Adjusts the strength of specular reflections. Specular reflections are composed of scene reflections and the specular lobe which is the bright spot that is reflected from light sources. When set to 0.0, no specular reflections will be visible. This differs from the SPECULAR_DISABLED SpecularMode as SPECULAR_DISABLED only applies to the specular lobe from the light source. Note: Unlike metallic, this is not energy-conserving, so it should be left at 0.5 in most cases. See also roughness.

Texture2D metallic_texture

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

int metallic_texture_channel = 0

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.

float msdf_outline_size = 0.0

The width of the shape outline.

float msdf_pixel_range = 4.0

The width of the range around the shape between the minimum and maximum representable signed distance.

bool no_depth_test = false

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

bool normal_enabled = false

If true, normal mapping is enabled. This has a slight performance cost, especially on mobile GPUs.

float normal_scale = 1.0

The strength of the normal map's effect.

Texture2D normal_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: Redot 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. Note: If detail_enabled is true, the detail_albedo texture is drawn below the normal_texture. To display a normal map above the detail_albedo texture, use detail_normal instead.

Texture2D orm_texture

The Occlusion/Roughness/Metallic texture to use. This is a more efficient replacement of ao_texture, roughness_texture and metallic_texture in ORMMaterial3D. Ambient occlusion is stored in the red channel. Roughness map is stored in the green channel. Metallic map is stored in the blue channel. The alpha channel is ignored.

float proximity_fade_distance = 1.0

Distance over which the fade effect takes place. The larger the distance the longer it takes for an object to fade.

bool proximity_fade_enabled = false

If true, the proximity fade effect is enabled. The proximity fade effect fades out each pixel based on its distance to another object.

bool refraction_enabled = false

If true, the refraction effect is enabled. Distorts transparency based on light from behind the object. Note: Refraction is implemented using the screen texture. Only opaque materials will appear in the refraction, since transparent materials do not appear in the screen texture.

float refraction_scale = 0.05

The strength of the refraction effect.

int refraction_texture_channel = 0

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

float rim = 1.0

Sets the strength of the rim lighting effect.

bool rim_enabled = false

If true, rim effect is enabled. Rim lighting increases the brightness at glancing angles on an object. Note: Rim lighting is not visible if the material's shading_mode is SHADING_MODE_UNSHADED.

Texture2D rim_texture

Texture used to set the strength of the rim lighting effect per-pixel. Multiplied by rim.

float rim_tint = 0.5

The amount of to blend light and albedo color when rendering rim effect. If 0 the light color is used, while 1 means albedo color is used. An intermediate value generally works best.

float roughness = 1.0

Surface reflection. A value of 0 represents a perfect mirror while a value of 1 completely blurs the reflection. See also metallic.

Texture2D roughness_texture

Texture used to control the roughness per-pixel. Multiplied by roughness.

int roughness_texture_channel = 0

Specifies the channel of the roughness_texture in which the roughness 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.

int shading_mode = 1

Sets whether the shading takes place, per-pixel, per-vertex or unshaded. Per-vertex lighting is faster, making it the best choice for mobile applications, however it looks considerably worse than per-pixel. Unshaded rendering is the fastest, but disables all interactions with lights.

bool shadow_to_opacity = false

If true, enables the "shadow to opacity" render mode where lighting modifies the alpha so shadowed areas are opaque and non-shadowed areas are transparent. Useful for overlaying shadows onto a camera feed in AR.

int specular_mode = 0

The method for rendering the specular blob. Note: specular_mode only applies to the specular blob. It does not affect specular reflections from the sky, screen-space reflections, VoxelGI, SDFGI or ReflectionProbes. To disable reflections from these sources as well, set metallic_specular to 0.0 instead.

Color stencil_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1)

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The primary color of the stencil effect.

int stencil_compare = 0

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The comparison operator to use for stencil masking operations. See StencilCompare.

int stencil_flags = 0

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The flags dictating how the stencil operation behaves. See StencilFlags.

int stencil_mode = 0

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The stencil effect mode. See StencilMode.

float stencil_outline_thickness = 0.01

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The outline thickness for STENCIL_MODE_OUTLINE.

int stencil_reference = 1

Experimental.

May be affected by future rendering pipeline changes.

The stencil reference value (0-255). Typically a power of 2.

bool subsurf_scatter_skin_mode = false

If true, subsurface scattering will use a special mode optimized for the color and density of human skin, such as boosting the intensity of the red channel in subsurface scattering.

Texture2D subsurf_scatter_texture

Texture used to control the subsurface scattering strength. Stored in the red texture channel. Multiplied by subsurf_scatter_strength.

float subsurf_scatter_transmittance_boost = 0.0

The intensity of the subsurface scattering transmittance effect.

Color subsurf_scatter_transmittance_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

The color to multiply the subsurface scattering transmittance effect with. Ignored if subsurf_scatter_skin_mode is true.

float subsurf_scatter_transmittance_depth = 0.1

The depth of the subsurface scattering transmittance effect.

int texture_filter = 3

Filter flags for the texture. Note: heightmap_texture is always sampled with linear filtering, even if nearest-neighbor filtering is selected here. This is to ensure the heightmap effect looks as intended. If you need sharper height transitions between pixels, resize the heightmap texture in an image editor with nearest-neighbor filtering.

int transparency = 0

The material's transparency mode. Some transparency modes will disable shadow casting. Any transparency mode other than TRANSPARENCY_DISABLED has a greater performance impact compared to opaque rendering. See also blend_mode.

bool use_particle_trails = false

If true, enables parts of the shader required for GPUParticles3D trails to function. This also requires using a mesh with appropriate skinning, such as RibbonTrailMesh or TubeTrailMesh. Enabling this feature outside of materials used in GPUParticles3D meshes will break material rendering.

bool use_point_size = false

If true, render point size can be changed. Note: This is only effective for objects whose geometry is point-based rather than triangle-based. See also point_size.

bool use_z_clip_scale = false

If true use z_clip_scale to scale the object being rendered towards the camera to avoid clipping into things like walls.

Vector3 uv1_offset = Vector3(0, 0, 0)

How much to offset the UV coordinates. This amount will be added to UV in the vertex function. This can be used to offset a texture. The Z component is used when uv1_triplanar is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else.

Vector3 uv1_scale = Vector3(1, 1, 1)

How much to scale the UV coordinates. This is multiplied by UV in the vertex function. The Z component is used when uv1_triplanar is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else.

bool uv1_triplanar = false

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.

float uv1_triplanar_sharpness = 1.0

A lower number blends the texture more softly while a higher number blends the texture more sharply. Note: uv1_triplanar_sharpness is clamped between 0.0 and 150.0 (inclusive) as values outside that range can look broken depending on the mesh.

bool uv1_world_triplanar = false

If true, triplanar mapping for UV is calculated in world space rather than object local space. See also uv1_triplanar.

Vector3 uv2_offset = Vector3(0, 0, 0)

How much to offset the UV2 coordinates. This amount will be added to UV2 in the vertex function. This can be used to offset a texture. The Z component is used when uv2_triplanar is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else.

Vector3 uv2_scale = Vector3(1, 1, 1)

How much to scale the UV2 coordinates. This is multiplied by UV2 in the vertex function. The Z component is used when uv2_triplanar is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else.

bool uv2_triplanar = false

If true, instead of using UV2 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.

float uv2_triplanar_sharpness = 1.0

A lower number blends the texture more softly while a higher number blends the texture more sharply. Note: uv2_triplanar_sharpness is clamped between 0.0 and 150.0 (inclusive) as values outside that range can look broken depending on the mesh.

bool uv2_world_triplanar = false

If true, triplanar mapping for UV2 is calculated in world space rather than object local space. See also uv2_triplanar.

bool vertex_color_is_srgb = false

If true, vertex colors are considered to be stored in sRGB color space and are converted to linear color space during rendering. If false, vertex colors are considered to be stored in linear color space and are rendered as-is. See also albedo_texture_force_srgb. Note: Only effective when using the Forward+ and Mobile rendering methods, not Compatibility.

bool vertex_color_use_as_albedo = false

If true, the vertex color is used as albedo color.

float z_clip_scale = 1.0

Scales the object being rendered towards the camera to avoid clipping into things like walls. This is intended to be used for objects that are fixed with respect to the camera like player arms, tools, etc. Lighting and shadows will continue to work correctly when this setting is adjusted, but screen-space effects like SSAO and SSR may break with lower scales. Therefore, try to keep this setting as close to 1.0 as possible.

Methods

bool get_feature(int feature) const

Returns true, if the specified Feature is enabled.

bool get_flag(int flag) const

Returns true if the specified flag is enabled.

void set_feature(int feature, bool enable)

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.

void set_flag(int flag, bool enable)

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.

void set_texture(int param, Texture2D texture)

Sets the texture for the slot specified by param.

TEXTURE_MAX = 19

Enum: TextureParam

TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST = 0

Enum: TextureFilter

The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel only. This makes the texture look pixelated from up close, and grainy from a distance (due to mipmaps not being sampled).

TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR = 1

Enum: TextureFilter

The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel and blends between 2 mipmaps (or uses the nearest mipmap if ProjectSettings.rendering/textures/default_filters/use_nearest_mipmap_filter is true) based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This makes the texture look pixelated from up close, and smooth from a distance. Anisotropic filtering improves texture quality on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera, but is slightly slower.

This makes the texture look smooth from up close, and smooth from a distance. Anisotropic filtering improves texture quality on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera, but is slightly slower.

The material will cut off all values below a threshold, the rest will remain opaque. The opaque portions will be rendered in the depth prepass. This is faster to render than alpha blending, but slower than opaque rendering. This also supports casting shadows.

TRANSPARENCY_ALPHA_HASH = 3

Enum: Transparency

The material will cut off all values below a spatially-deterministic threshold, the rest will remain opaque. This is faster to render than alpha blending, but slower than opaque rendering. This also supports casting shadows. Alpha hashing is suited for hair rendering.

BLEND_MODE_PREMULT_ALPHA = 4

Enum: BlendMode

The color of the object is added to the background and the alpha channel is used to mask out the background. This is effectively a hybrid of the blend mix and add modes, useful for effects like fire where you want the flame to add but the smoke to mix. By default, this works with unshaded materials using premultiplied textures. For shaded materials, use the PREMUL_ALPHA_FACTOR built-in so that lighting can be modulated as well.

ALPHA_ANTIALIASING_OFF = 0

Enum: AlphaAntiAliasing

Disables Alpha AntiAliasing for the material.

Enum: CullMode

Default cull mode. The back of the object is culled when not visible. Back face triangles will be culled when facing the camera. This results in only the front side of triangles being drawn. For closed-surface meshes, this means that only the exterior of the mesh will be visible.

CULL_FRONT = 1

Enum: CullMode

Front face triangles will be culled when facing the camera. This results in only the back side of triangles being drawn. For closed-surface meshes, this means that the interior of the mesh will be drawn instead of the exterior.

No face culling is performed; both the front face and back face will be visible.

FLAG_DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST = 0

Enum: Flags

Disables the depth test, so this object is drawn on top of all others drawn before it. This puts the object in the transparent draw pass where it is sorted based on distance to camera. Objects drawn after it in the draw order may cover it. This also disables writing to depth.

Enables the shadow to opacity feature.

FLAG_USE_TEXTURE_REPEAT = 16

Enum: Flags

Enables the texture to repeat when UV coordinates are outside the 0-1 range. If using one of the linear filtering modes, this can result in artifacts at the edges of a texture when the sampler filters across the edges of the texture.

FLAG_INVERT_HEIGHTMAP = 17

Enum: Flags

Invert values read from a depth texture to convert them to height values (heightmap).

FLAG_SUBSURFACE_MODE_SKIN = 18

Enum: Flags

Enables the skin mode for subsurface scattering which is used to improve the look of subsurface scattering when used for human skin.

FLAG_PARTICLE_TRAILS_MODE = 19

Enum: Flags

Enables parts of the shader required for GPUParticles3D trails to function. This also requires using a mesh with appropriate skinning, such as RibbonTrailMesh or TubeTrailMesh. Enabling this feature outside of materials used in GPUParticles3D meshes will break material rendering.

Default specular blob. Note: Forward+ uses multiscattering for more accurate reflections, although the impact of multiscattering is more noticeable on rough metallic surfaces than on smooth, non-metallic surfaces. Note: Mobile and Compatibility don't perform multiscattering for performance reasons. Instead, they perform single scattering, which means rough metallic surfaces may look slightly darker than intended.

SPECULAR_TOON = 1

Enum: SpecularMode

Toon blob which changes size based on roughness.

Enum: DistanceFadeMode

Smoothly fades the object out based on each pixel's distance from the camera using a dithering approach. Dithering discards pixels based on a set pattern to smoothly fade without enabling transparency. On certain hardware, this can be faster than DISTANCE_FADE_PIXEL_ALPHA.

DISTANCE_FADE_OBJECT_DITHER = 3

Enum: DistanceFadeMode

Smoothly fades the object out based on the object's distance from the camera using a dithering approach. Dithering discards pixels based on a set pattern to smoothly fade without enabling transparency. On certain hardware, this can be faster than DISTANCE_FADE_PIXEL_ALPHA and DISTANCE_FADE_PIXEL_DITHER.

STENCIL_MODE_DISABLED = 0

Enum: StencilMode

Disables stencil operations.

STENCIL_MODE_XRAY = 2
