needFragmentColor()

needFragmentColor(ctx?): boolean

Defined in: libs/scene/src/material/meshmaterial.ts:917

Parameters

ctx?

DrawContext

Optional draw context; defaults to the last captured drawContext.

Returns

boolean

True if fragment color computation is needed; otherwise false.

outputFragmentColor()

outputFragmentColor(scope, worldPos, color, ssrRoughness?, ssrNormal?, sssProfile?, sssParams?, sssDiffuse?, sssTransmission?, sssProfileEnabled?, skinSSS?): void

Defined in: libs/scene/src/material/meshmaterial.ts:1069

Centralized final color write and per-pass output composition.

Behavior by pass:

  • LIGHT: clipping, alpha handling, optional OIT integration, fog application, color output encoding.
  • DEPTH: encoded depth; optional motion vectors (TAA enabled/disabled handling).
  • OBJECT_COLOR: object color and distance output (linear depth or world-pos + distance).
  • SHADOWMAP: writes shadow depth via light’s shadow implementation.

Also writes SSR roughness/normal buffers when requested via material flags.

Parameters

scope

PBInsideFunctionScope

Inside-function shader scope.

worldPos

PBShaderExp

Fragment world-space position expression.

color

PBShaderExp

Lit fragment color expression; may be undefined for depth-only paths.

ssrRoughness?

Optional SSR roughness output expression.

ssrNormal?

PBShaderExp

Optional SSR normal output expression.

sssProfile?

PBShaderExp

Optional SSS profile output expression.

sssParams?

PBShaderExp

Optional SSS packed params output expression.

sssDiffuse?

PBShaderExp

Optional diffuse-only lighting color for SSS composition.

sssTransmission?

PBShaderExp

Optional thin-shell transmission lighting color for SSS composition.

sssProfileEnabled?

boolean = false

True only when this material should write SSS profile data.

skinSSS?

PBShaderExp
