Class: MeshMaterial ​

Defined in: libs/scene/src/material/meshmaterial.ts:128

Base class for mesh materials.

Key responsibilities:

  • Defines feature-based shader variants (alpha test, blending, alpha-to-coverage, TAA toggle, etc.).
  • Provides a material instancing mechanism (per-instance uniforms via a shared core material).
  • Implements the base shader scaffolding for multiple render passes (LIGHT, DEPTH, OBJECT_COLOR, SHADOWMAP).
  • Updates render states depending on pass and features (blending, depth, culling).
  • Submits material uniforms and cooperates with OIT/TAA/SSR/motion vectors.

Variant system:

  • Features are stored in _featureStates and hashed into _createHash().
  • Changing features calls useFeature(...) which triggers optionChanged(true) to rebuild programs.

Instancing:

  • defineInstanceUniform registers per-instance fields with packed layout.
  • createInstance() returns a lightweight instance that shares the core’s GPU programs and updates instance uniform buffer only. This improves batching/instancing support.

Shader hooks:

  • vertexShader(scope) and fragmentShader(scope) provide per-pass hook points to implement the material’s vertex/fragment logic. The base class wires up common I/O (skin, morph, instancing).
  • outputFragmentColor(...) centralizes final color output across passes, handling OIT and alpha ops.

Render states and queues:

  • updateRenderStates(...) sets depth/blend/cull states based on blending, alpha-to-coverage, depth equality optimizations, pass type, and optional OIT overrides.
  • getQueueType() chooses between opaque and transparent queues.

Extending:

  • Override vertexShader, fragmentShader, and optionally outputFragmentColor.
  • Override supportLighting, isTransparentPass, needFragmentColor, etc., as needed.
  • Use uniformChanged() when changing uniform-only values that do not alter shader variants.
  • Use useFeature() when toggling options that affect shader variants.

transparentMotionVector ​

Get Signature ​

get transparentMotionVector(): boolean

Defined in: libs/scene/src/material/meshmaterial.ts:581

Whether a blended material contributes motion vectors.

Remarks ​

Off by default, and only meaningful with blendMode !== 'none': blended geometry is normally absent from the prepass, so it writes no velocity and a temporal filter reprojects it with whatever is behind it. Turning this on adds it to a motion-vector-only pass over the transparent queue.

Right for geometry that is dense enough to own its pixels - hair, foliage cards - where one velocity per pixel is a fair summary. Wrong for genuinely see-through surfaces such as glass, where the background's own velocity is the one that should survive, which is why this is opt-in.

Returns ​

boolean
