Properties

diffusionDistanceSearch playground for diffusionDistance

diffusionDistance: Color3

Defines how far each channel transmit through the media. It is defined as a color to simplify it selection.

indexOfRefractionSearch playground for indexOfRefraction

indexOfRefraction: number

Index of refraction of the material base layer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

This does not only impact refraction but also the Base F0 of Dielectric Materials.

From dielectric fresnel rules: F0 = square((iorT - iorI) / (iorT + iorI))

invertRefractionYSearch playground for invertRefractionY

invertRefractionY: boolean

Controls if refraction needs to be inverted on Y. This could be useful for procedural texture.

isRefractionEnabledSearch playground for isRefractionEnabled

isRefractionEnabled: boolean

Defines if the refraction is enabled in the material.

isScatteringEnabledSearch playground for isScatteringEnabled

isScatteringEnabled: boolean

Defines if the sub surface scattering is enabled in the material.

isTranslucencyEnabledSearch playground for isTranslucencyEnabled

isTranslucencyEnabled: boolean

Defines if the translucency is enabled in the material.

linkRefractionWithTransparencySearch playground for linkRefractionWithTransparency

linkRefractionWithTransparency: boolean

This parameters will make the material used its opacity to control how much it is refracting aginst not. Materials half opaque for instance using refraction could benefit from this control.

maximumThicknessSearch playground for maximumThickness

maximumThickness: number

Defines the maximum thickness stored in the thickness map.

minimumThicknessSearch playground for minimumThickness

minimumThickness: number

Defines the minimum thickness stored in the thickness map. If no thickness map is defined, this value will be used to simulate thickness.

refractionIntensitySearch playground for refractionIntensity

refractionIntensity: number

Defines the refraction intensity of the material. The refraction when enabled replaces the Diffuse part of the material. The intensity helps transitionning between diffuse and refraction.

refractionTextureSearch playground for refractionTexture

refractionTexture: Nullable<BaseTexture>

Defines the texture to use for refraction.

thicknessTextureSearch playground for thicknessTexture

thicknessTexture: Nullable<BaseTexture>

Stores the average thickness of a mesh in a texture (The texture is holding the values linearly). The red channel of the texture should contain the thickness remapped between 0 and 1. 0 would mean minimumThickness 1 would mean maximumThickness The other channels might be use as a mask to vary the different effects intensity.

tintColorSearch playground for tintColor

tintColor: Color3

Defines the volume tint of the material. This is used for both translucency and scattering.

tintColorAtDistanceSearch playground for tintColorAtDistance

tintColorAtDistance: number

Defines the distance at which the tint color should be found in the media. This is used for refraction only.

translucencyIntensitySearch playground for translucencyIntensity

translucencyIntensity: number

Defines the translucency intensity of the material. When translucency has been enabled, this defines how much of the "translucency" is addded to the diffuse part of the material.

useAlbedoToTintRefractionSearch playground for useAlbedoToTintRefraction

useAlbedoToTintRefraction: boolean

When enabled, transparent surfaces will be tinted with the albedo colour (independent of thickness)

useMaskFromThicknessTextureSearch playground for useMaskFromThicknessTexture

useMaskFromThicknessTexture: boolean

Stores the intensity of the different subsurface effects in the thickness texture.

  • the green channel is the translucency intensity.
  • the blue channel is the scattering intensity.
  • the alpha channel is the refraction intensity.

useMaskFromThicknessTextureGltfSearch playground for useMaskFromThicknessTextureGltf

useMaskFromThicknessTextureGltf: boolean

Stores the intensity of the different subsurface effects in the thickness texture. This variation matches the channel-packing that is used by glTF.

  • the red channel is the transmission/translucency intensity.
  • the green channel is the thickness.
