Method
A basic emissive material, similar to the default material node but without any specular settings.
Emissive Material |
|
BRDF
Name |
Description |
Colour |
The colour of the material. |
Brightness |
How much light the object absorbs and doesn’t reflect back into the scene. |
Emissiveness |
How much of a glow is emitted around the object. Requires “high dynamic range” to be turned on in the root. |
Baked Diffuse Intensity |
Intensity of the texture supplied via the Diffuse channel – typically used for baked light maps. |
Use Baked Diffuse Map As Ambient Occlusion |
Sets Diffuse Map to become an ambient occlusion map. |
Settings
Name |
Description |
Lit |
Toggle whether the material can be lit by lights in the scene. |
Casts Shadows |
Toggle whether the objects the material is applied to casts shadows. |
Back Face Cull Mode |
Changes which directions the face will be visible in.
- Double Sided, Both sides of the material will be rendered to the surface.
- Show Front Faces, Only the front side aligned with the normal will be rendered.
- Show Back Faces, Only the back side opposite to the normal will be rendered.
|
Flip Polygons |
Toggles whether the polygons are flipped on the material. |
Wireframe |
Toggles whether the polygons are wireframe on the material. |
Flat Shade Colours |
Toggles whether the material colours are flat shaded. |
Displacement / Normals
Name |
Description |
Normal Smoothness |
Change how much smoothing is done to the edges of the object. |
Smoothing Angle |
Sets the smoothing angle of the mesh faces. The higher the smoother the result. |
Normal Map Strength |
Change how strong the normal map effect is. Only functions if a normal map is selected in the “normal map” attribute, and the normal map mode is set to “normal mapping”. |
Normal Map Mode |
Change how the normal map affects the material. |
Normal Map – Invert Normal X |
Invert the normal map along the X axis. |
Normal Map – Invert Normal Y |
Invert the normal map along the Y axis. |
Normal Map – Invert Normal Z |
Invert the normal map along the Z axis. |
Displacement |
How Much the displacement map affects the object. |
Displacement Offset |
Offset displacement amount for the displacement maps. |
Parallax Amount |
Enables Parallax Occlusion Mapping, and sets how much the material is displaced by it. |
Displacement – Use Polygons UVs |
Uses the Polygon UV’s to fix seams where the UV Map can wrap. |
Displacement – Fix Tessellation Seams |
Can fix tessellation seams where displacement maps are sampled per vertex, and can wrap across polygons. |
Texture
Name |
Description |
Colour Texture |
Select a source image to add a colour texture to the material. |
Diffuse Map |
Select a source image to add a diffuse map to the material. |
Displacement Map |
Select an image to displace the mesh based on the luminescence values of the image. Can be used with the “Subdivision Levels” attribute in the 3D Object node. |
Emissiveness Map |
Select a source image to control how emissive an object is, based on luminance. |
UVs
Name |
Description |
UV Scale X |
Scale the UV texture along the X axis. |
UV Scale Y |
Scale the UV texture along the Y axis. |
UV Offset X |
Offset the UV texture along the X axis. |
UV Offset Y |
Offset the UV texture along the Y axis. |
Diffuse UV Scale X |
Scale the Diffuse UV texture along the X axis. |
Diffuse UV Scale Y |
Scale the Diffuse UV texture along the Y axis. |
Diffuse UV Offset X |
Offset the Diffuse UV texture along the X axis. |
Diffuse UV Offset Y |
Offset the Diffuse UV texture along the Y axis. |
Texture Filter Mode |
Controls how textures used by the material are filtered – through point sampling, linear filtering or anisotropic filtering. |
Texture Wrap Mode U |
Controls how textures used by the material are wrapped when the U value range exceeds 0 to 1. |
Texture Wrap Mode V |
Controls how textures used by the material are wrapped when the V value range exceeds 0 to 1. |
Diffuse Texture Filter Mode |
Controls how textures used by the material are filtered – through point sampling, linear filtering or anisotropic filtering. |
Diffuse Texture Wrap Mode U |
Controls how textures used by the material are wrapped when the U value range exceeds 0 to 1. |
Diffuse Texture Wrap Mode V |
Controls how textures used by the material are wrapped when the V value range exceeds 0 to 1. |
UV Remap Filtering |
Enables filtering for remapping UV’s. Only functions with eligible textures. |
Texture Mip Bias |
Bias the distance at which Mip Maps are swapped for original textures. |
*Diffuse UV set will set only update the UV’s for the diffuse or ambient occlusion textures rather than for all UVs for textures as above.
Misc
Name |
Description |
Motion Blur Velocity Scale |
Scale how much motion blur is affected by the objects movement. |
Glow Amount |
Control how much the object glows. |
Density |
How dense the material is. Used in sub-surface scattering, and glass shading. |
Ray Depth
Name |
Description |
Use Global Settings |
When enabled, the internal settings will be ignored and the global settings for bounces will be used. |
Max Diffuse Depth |
Sets the max diffuse bounces for the material. |
Max Glossy Depth |
Sets the max glossy bounces for the material. |
Outputs
Output a material that can be used by any node with a material input.
