Default 3D rendering material. This provides 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. $DOCS_URL/tutorials/3d/standard_material_3d.html Returns [code]true[/code], if the specified [enum Feature] is enabled. Returns [code]true[/code], if the specified flag is enabled. See [enum Flags] enumerator for options. Returns the [Texture] associated with the specified [enum TextureParam]. If [code]true[/code], enables the specified [enum Feature]. Many features that are available in [BaseMaterial3D]s 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 [code]true[/code]. If [code]true[/code], 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 [code]true[/code]. See [enum Flags] enumerator for options. Sets the texture for the slot specified by [code]param[/code]. See [enum TextureParam] for available slots. The material's base color. [b]Note:[/b] If [member detail_enabled] is [code]true[/code] and a [member detail_albedo] texture is specified, [member albedo_color] will [i]not[/i] 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 [member detail_albedo] texture instead. Texture to multiply by [member albedo_color]. Used for basic texturing of objects. If the texture appears unexpectedly too dark or too bright, check [member albedo_texture_force_srgb]. If [code]true[/code], forces a conversion of the [member albedo_texture] from sRGB color space to linear color space. See also [member vertex_color_is_srgb]. This should only be enabled when needed (typically when using a [ViewportTexture] as [member albedo_texture]). If [member albedo_texture_force_srgb] is [code]true[/code] when it shouldn't be, the texture will appear to be too dark. If [member albedo_texture_force_srgb] is [code]false[/code] when it shouldn't be, the texture will appear to be too bright. Enables multichannel signed distance field rendering shader. Use [member msdf_pixel_range] and [member msdf_outline_size] to configure MSDF parameters. Threshold at which antialiasing will be applied on the alpha channel. The type of alpha antialiasing to apply. See [enum AlphaAntiAliasing]. The hashing scale for Alpha Hash. Recommended values between [code]0[/code] and [code]2[/code]. Threshold at which the alpha scissor will discard values. The strength of the anisotropy effect. This is multiplied by [member anisotropy_flowmap]'s alpha channel if a texture is defined there and the texture contains an alpha channel. If [code]true[/code], anisotropy is enabled. Anisotropy changes the shape of the specular blob and aligns it to tangent space. This is useful for brushed aluminium and hair reflections. [b]Note:[/b] Mesh tangents are needed for anisotropy to work. If the mesh does not contain tangents, the anisotropy effect will appear broken. [b]Note:[/b] Material anisotropy should not to be confused with anisotropic texture filtering, which can be enabled by setting [member texture_filter] to [constant TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC]. 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 [member 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. If [code]true[/code], ambient occlusion is enabled. Ambient occlusion darkens areas based on the [member ao_texture]. Amount that ambient occlusion affects lighting from lights. If [code]0[/code], ambient occlusion only affects ambient light. If [code]1[/code], 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. If [code]true[/code], use [code]UV2[/code] coordinates to look up from the [member ao_texture]. Texture that defines the amount of ambient occlusion for a given point on the object. Specifies the channel of the [member 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. The color used by the backlight effect. Represents the light passing through an object. If [code]true[/code], the backlight effect is enabled. Texture used to control the backlight effect per-pixel. Added to [member backlight]. If [code]true[/code], the shader will keep the scale set for the mesh. Otherwise, the scale is lost when billboarding. Only applies when [member billboard_mode] is [constant BILLBOARD_ENABLED]. Controls how the object faces the camera. See [enum BillboardMode]. [b]Note:[/b] 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 [url=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/41567]GitHub issue #41567[/url] for details. The material's blend mode. [b]Note:[/b] Values other than [code]Mix[/code] force the object into the transparent pipeline. See [enum BlendMode]. Sets the strength of the clearcoat effect. Setting to [code]0[/code] looks the same as disabling the clearcoat effect. If [code]true[/code], 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. [b]Note:[/b] Clearcoat rendering is not visible if the material's [member shading_mode] is [constant SHADING_MODE_UNSHADED]. Sets the roughness of the clearcoat pass. A higher value results in a rougher clearcoat while a lower value results in a smoother clearcoat. 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. Determines which side of the triangle to cull depending on whether the triangle faces towards or away from the camera. See [enum CullMode]. Determines when depth rendering takes place. See [enum DepthDrawMode]. See also [member transparency]. Texture that specifies the color of the detail overlay. [member detail_albedo]'s alpha channel is used as a mask, even when the material is opaque. To use a dedicated texture as a mask, see [member detail_mask]. [b]Note:[/b] [member detail_albedo] is [i]not[/i] modulated by [member albedo_color]. Specifies how the [member detail_albedo] should blend with the current [code]ALBEDO[/code]. See [enum BlendMode] for options. If [code]true[/code], enables the detail overlay. Detail is a second texture that gets mixed over the surface of the object based on [member detail_mask] and [member detail_albedo]'s alpha channel. This can be used to add variation to objects, or to blend between two different albedo/normal textures. Texture used to specify how the detail textures get blended with the base textures. [member detail_mask] can be used together with [member detail_albedo]'s alpha channel (if any). Texture that specifies the per-pixel normal of the detail overlay. The [member detail_normal] texture only uses the red and green channels; the blue and alpha channels are ignored. The normal read from [member detail_normal] is oriented around the surface normal provided by the [Mesh]. [b]Note:[/b] Godot expects the normal map to use X+, Y+, and Z+ coordinates. See [url=http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Technical_Details#Common_Swizzle_Coordinates]this page[/url] for a comparison of normal map coordinates expected by popular engines. Specifies whether to use [code]UV[/code] or [code]UV2[/code] for the detail layer. See [enum DetailUV] for options. The algorithm used for diffuse light scattering. See [enum DiffuseMode]. If [code]true[/code], the object receives no ambient light. If [code]true[/code], the object receives no shadow that would otherwise be cast onto it. Distance at which the object appears fully opaque. [b]Note:[/b] If [code]distance_fade_max_distance[/code] is less than [code]distance_fade_min_distance[/code], the behavior will be reversed. The object will start to fade away at [code]distance_fade_max_distance[/code] and will fully disappear once it reaches [code]distance_fade_min_distance[/code]. Distance at which the object starts to become visible. If the object is less than this distance away, it will be invisible. [b]Note:[/b] If [code]distance_fade_min_distance[/code] is greater than [code]distance_fade_max_distance[/code], the behavior will be reversed. The object will start to fade away at [code]distance_fade_max_distance[/code] and will fully disappear once it reaches [code]distance_fade_min_distance[/code]. Specifies which type of fade to use. Can be any of the [enum DistanceFadeMode]s. The emitted light's color. See [member emission_enabled]. If [code]true[/code], the body emits light. Emitting light makes the object appear brighter. The object can also cast light on other objects if a [VoxelGI] is used and this object is used in baked lighting. The emitted light's strength. See [member emission_enabled]. Use [code]UV2[/code] to read from the [member emission_texture]. Sets how [member emission] interacts with [member emission_texture]. Can either add or multiply. See [enum EmissionOperator] for options. Texture that specifies how much surface emits light at a given point. If [code]true[/code], the object is rendered at the same size regardless of distance. If [code]true[/code], enables the vertex grow setting. See [member grow_amount]. Grows object vertices in the direction of their normals. If [code]true[/code], height mapping is enabled (also called "parallax mapping" or "depth mapping"). See also [member normal_enabled]. [b]Note:[/b] Height mapping is not supported if triplanar mapping is used on the same material. The value of [member heightmap_enabled] will be ignored if [member uv1_triplanar] is enabled. 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 [code]0[/code] and [code]1[/code] should only be used for blending between metal and non-metal sections. To alter the amount of reflection use [member roughness]. 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 [code]0.0[/code], no specular reflections will be visible. This differs from the [constant SPECULAR_DISABLED] [enum SpecularMode] as [constant SPECULAR_DISABLED] only applies to the specular lobe from the light source. [b]Note:[/b] Unlike [member metallic], this is not energy-conserving, so it should be left at [code]0.5[/code] in most cases. See also [member roughness]. Texture used to specify metallic for an object. This is multiplied by [member metallic]. Specifies the channel of the [member 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. The width of the shape outine. The width of the range around the shape between the minimum and maximum representable signed distance. If [code]true[/code], depth testing is disabled and the object will be drawn in render order. If [code]true[/code], normal mapping is enabled. The strength of the normal map's effect. Texture used to specify the normal at a given pixel. The [member normal_texture] only uses the red and green channels; the blue and alpha channels are ignored. The normal read from [member normal_texture] is oriented around the surface normal provided by the [Mesh]. [b]Note:[/b] 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 [method SurfaceTool.generate_normals] and [method SurfaceTool.generate_tangents] to automatically generate normals and tangents respectively. [b]Note:[/b] Godot expects the normal map to use X+, Y+, and Z+ coordinates. See [url=http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Technical_Details#Common_Swizzle_Coordinates]this page[/url] for a comparison of normal map coordinates expected by popular engines. [b]Note:[/b] If [member detail_enabled] is [code]true[/code], the [member detail_albedo] texture is drawn [i]below[/i] the [member normal_texture]. To display a normal map [i]above[/i] the [member detail_albedo] texture, use [member detail_normal] instead. The number of horizontal frames in the particle sprite sheet. Only enabled when using [constant BILLBOARD_PARTICLES]. See [member billboard_mode]. If [code]true[/code], particle animations are looped. Only enabled when using [constant BILLBOARD_PARTICLES]. See [member billboard_mode]. The number of vertical frames in the particle sprite sheet. Only enabled when using [constant BILLBOARD_PARTICLES]. See [member billboard_mode]. The point size in pixels. See [member use_point_size]. Distance over which the fade effect takes place. The larger the distance the longer it takes for an object to fade. If [code]true[/code], the proximity fade effect is enabled. The proximity fade effect fades out each pixel based on its distance to another object. If [code]true[/code], the refraction effect is enabled. Distorts transparency based on light from behind the object. The strength of the refraction effect. Texture that controls the strength of the refraction per-pixel. Multiplied by [member refraction_scale]. Specifies the channel of the [member 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. Sets the strength of the rim lighting effect. If [code]true[/code], rim effect is enabled. Rim lighting increases the brightness at glancing angles on an object. [b]Note:[/b] Rim lighting is not visible if the material's [member shading_mode] is [constant SHADING_MODE_UNSHADED]. Texture used to set the strength of the rim lighting effect per-pixel. Multiplied by [member rim]. The amount of to blend light and albedo color when rendering rim effect. If [code]0[/code] the light color is used, while [code]1[/code] means albedo color is used. An intermediate value generally works best. Surface reflection. A value of [code]0[/code] represents a perfect mirror while a value of [code]1[/code] completely blurs the reflection. See also [member metallic]. Texture used to control the roughness per-pixel. Multiplied by [member roughness]. Specifies the channel of the [member 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. Sets whether the shading takes place per-pixel or per-vertex. Per-vertex lighting is faster, making it the best choice for mobile applications, however it looks considerably worse than per-pixel. If [code]true[/code], 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. The method for rendering the specular blob. See [enum SpecularMode]. [b]Note:[/b] Only applies to the specular blob. Does not affect specular reflections from the Sky, SSR, or ReflectionProbes. If [code]true[/code], subsurface scattering is enabled. Emulates light that penetrates an object's surface, is scattered, and then emerges. If [code]true[/code], subsurface scattering will use a special mode optimized for the color and density of human skin. The strength of the subsurface scattering effect. Texture used to control the subsurface scattering strength. Stored in the red texture channel. Multiplied by [member subsurf_scatter_strength]. Filter flags for the texture. See [enum TextureFilter] for options. [b]Note:[/b] [member 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. Repeat flags for the texture. See [enum TextureFilter] for options. If [code]true[/code], transparency is enabled on the body. See also [member blend_mode]. If [code]true[/code], render point size can be changed. [b]Note:[/b] This is only effective for objects whose geometry is point-based rather than triangle-based. See also [member point_size]. How much to offset the [code]UV[/code] coordinates. This amount will be added to [code]UV[/code] in the vertex function. This can be used to offset a texture. The Z component is used when [member uv1_triplanar] is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else. How much to scale the [code]UV[/code] coordinates. This is multiplied by [code]UV[/code] in the vertex function. The Z component is used when [member uv1_triplanar] is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else. If [code]true[/code], instead of using [code]UV[/code] 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. A lower number blends the texture more softly while a higher number blends the texture more sharply. If [code]true[/code], triplanar mapping for [code]UV[/code] is calculated in world space rather than object local space. See also [member uv1_triplanar]. How much to offset the [code]UV2[/code] coordinates. This amount will be added to [code]UV2[/code] in the vertex function. This can be used to offset a texture. The Z component is used when [member uv2_triplanar] is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else. How much to scale the [code]UV2[/code] coordinates. This is multiplied by [code]UV2[/code] in the vertex function. The Z component is used when [member uv2_triplanar] is enabled, but it is not used anywhere else. If [code]true[/code], instead of using [code]UV2[/code] 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. A lower number blends the texture more softly while a higher number blends the texture more sharply. If [code]true[/code], triplanar mapping for [code]UV2[/code] is calculated in world space rather than object local space. See also [member uv2_triplanar]. If [code]true[/code], vertex colors are considered to be stored in sRGB color space and are converted to linear color space during rendering. If [code]false[/code], vertex colors are considered to be stored in linear color space and are rendered as-is. See also [member albedo_texture_force_srgb]. [b]Note:[/b] Only effective when using the Vulkan Clustered or Vulkan Mobile backends. If [code]true[/code], the vertex color is used as albedo color. Texture specifying per-pixel color.

Texture specifying per-pixel detail mask blending value. Texture specifying per-pixel detail color. Texture specifying per-pixel detail normal. Texture holding ambient occlusion, roughness, and metallic. Represents the size of the [enum TextureParam] enum. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel only. The simplest and fastest method of filtering, but the texture will look pixelized. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels. Use this when you want to avoid a pixelated style, but do not want mipmaps. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel in the nearest mipmap. The fastest way to read from textures with mipmaps. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and between the nearest 2 mipmaps. Use this for most cases as mipmaps are important to smooth out pixels that are far from the camera. The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel, but selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. This is the slowest of the filtering options, but results in the highest quality texturing. Represents the size of the [enum TextureFilter] enum. Use [code]UV[/code] with the detail texture. Use [code]UV2[/code] with the detail texture. The material will not use transparency. The material will use the texture's alpha values for transparency. The material will cut off all values below a threshold, the rest will remain opaque. The material will cut off all values below a spatially-deterministic threshold, the rest will remain opaque. The material will use the texture's alpha value for transparency, but will still be rendered in the pre-pass. Represents the size of the [enum Transparency] enum. The object will not receive shadows. The object will be shaded per pixel. Useful for realistic shading effect. The object will be shaded per vertex. Useful when you want cheaper shaders and do not care about visual quality.

The color of the object is subtracted from the background. The color of the object is multiplied by the background. Disables Alpha AntiAliasing for the material. Enables AlphaToCoverage. Alpha values in the material are passed to the AntiAliasing sample mask. Enables AlphaToCoverage and forces all non-zero alpha values to [code]1[/code]. Alpha values in the material are passed to the AntiAliasing sample mask. Default depth draw mode. Depth is drawn only for opaque objects. Depth draw is calculated for both opaque and transparent objects. No depth draw. 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. 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 culling is performed. Disables the depth test, so this object is drawn on top of all others. However, objects drawn after it in the draw order may cover it. Set [code]ALBEDO[/code] to the per-vertex color specified in the mesh. Vertex colors are considered to be stored in sRGB color space and are converted to linear color space during rendering. See also [member vertex_color_is_srgb]. [b]Note:[/b] Only effective when using the Vulkan Clustered or Vulkan Mobile backends. Uses point size to alter the size of primitive points. Also changes the albedo texture lookup to use [code]POINT_COORD[/code] instead of [code]UV[/code]. Object is scaled by depth so that it always appears the same size on screen. Shader will keep the scale set for the mesh. Otherwise the scale is lost when billboarding. Only applies when [member billboard_mode] is [constant BILLBOARD_ENABLED]. Use triplanar texture lookup for all texture lookups that would normally use [code]UV[/code]. Use triplanar texture lookup for all texture lookups that would normally use [code]UV2[/code].

Forces the shader to convert albedo from sRGB space to linear space. See also [member albedo_texture_force_srgb]. Disables receiving shadows from other objects. Disables receiving ambient light. Enables the shadow to opacity feature. 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.
