material

Materials made from any surface shader, with every property the shader declares set, animated or wired from the graph.

procgen.searchNodes("", { pack = "material" }) lists the family and procgen.describeNode("op.<id>") describes any one of them.

Ops

• material.shader: a material from a surface .shader. Each property its properties.yaml declares is set by name in properties, as a constant, an animated value or a wired output, and each texture slot by name in textures. blend, cull and depthWrite set how it draws. A shader that declares a buffer property reads, through elements, one vec4 per live element another part of the graph made.

shader is a reference, written asset.resolve("<identity>", "shader"); a name alone is refused.

local ember = g.op.material.shader({ shader = asset.resolve("@builtin::shaders.unlit", "shader"),
    properties = { base_color = { r = 1, g = 0.5, b = 0.1, a = 1 } }, blend = "additive", depthWrite = "false",
    cull = "none" })

material.pbr, the metallic-roughness material, comes with the texture pack.

g.material.shader and g.material.pbrMat, nodes of the material nodebox, answer one element holding the material record (records/material.procRecord), which any input taking a material takes, io.output shows and io.export saves as a .material.
