# [name] One-paragraph description of what surface look this material produces and where it's intended to be used. ## Shader Name the shader bound in `mat.yaml::shader` (e.g. `@builtin/shaders/standard` or a custom shader path). ## Inputs - `floats.<name>` — value, units, valid range. - `colors.<name>` — what colour channel/term it drives. - `textures.<name>` — what map slot it fills. Add more `floats:` / `colors:` / `textures:` keys as the shader exposes them. ## Usage ```luau Material.Apply(entityId, "[name]") ```

# ForestDetail Quality-tier density switch for the Nürburgring Drive Eifel forest. Attach it to the forest root entity `nring_tree_forest` (built by `nring.forest`). The root's children `nring_tree_<near|far>_<core|mid|high>` each carry a `Population` component; this component enables the layers the tier affords (low: core, medium: core + mid, high: all) and re-reads `renderer.qualityTier()` once a second so a graphics setting applies live. `tierOverride` forces a tier.

# ForestPart Data-only marker for one piece of the Nürburgring Drive Eifel forest: a 200 m LOD cell (the LOD0 and LOD1 twins of every near-band tree in it) or a denser proxy / far density layer. It lives on a child of the forest root `nring_tree_forest` and holds the `.population` as a statically pinned asset field; the root's `ForestDetail` component reads it and draws it locally per device (cells near the camera, layers by quality tier). It draws nothing itself and needs no sibling components.

# TracksideDetail Draws the Nordschleife trackside detail that is gated by quality tier, locally on each device: the race-weekend spectators (instanced `ts_crowd` billboards) and the small camp clutter. It sits on `nring_ts_detail` under the `nring_trackside` root and holds three `.population` refs written by `nring.trackside`: `low` (drawn at every tier), `medium` (medium and high) and `high` (high only). It follows `renderer.qualityTier()` (or `tierOverride`), draws nothing into shadows and replicates nothing. Needs no sibling components. `refresh()` redraws after a rebuild.
