Material

MeshDepthMaterial

A material for drawing geometry by depth. Depth is based off of the camera near and far plane. White is nearest, black is farthest.

Constructor

MeshDepthMaterial

function MeshDepthMaterial( parameters: Object ): void;  

parameters - (optional) an object with one or more properties defining the material's appearance. Any property of the material (including any property inherited from Material) can be passed in here.

Properties

See the base Material class for common properties.

alphaMap

alphaMap: Texture;  

The alpha map is a grayscale texture that controls the opacity across the surface (black: fully transparent; white: fully opaque). Default is null.

Only the color of the texture is used, ignoring the alpha channel if one exists. For RGB and RGBA textures, the WebGL renderer will use the green channel when sampling this texture due to the extra bit of precision provided for green in DXT-compressed and uncompressed RGB 565 formats. Luminance-only and luminance/alpha textures will also still work as expected.

depthPacking

depthPacking: Constant;  

Type for depth packing. Default is BasicDepthPacking.

displacementMap

displacementMap: Texture;  

The displacement map affects the position of the mesh's vertices. Unlike other maps which only affect the light and shade of the material the displaced vertices can cast shadows, block other objects, and otherwise act as real geometry. The displacement texture is an image where the value of each pixel (white being the highest) is mapped against, and repositions, the vertices of the mesh.

displacementScale

displacementScale: Float;  

How much the displacement map affects the mesh (where black is no displacement, and white is maximum displacement). Without a displacement map set, this value is not applied. Default is 1.

displacementBias

displacementBias: Float;  

The offset of the displacement map's values on the mesh's vertices. Without a displacement map set, this value is not applied. Default is 0.

fog

fog: Boolean;  

Whether the material is affected by fog. Default is false.

map

map: Texture;  

The color map. May optionally include an alpha channel, typically combined with .transparent or .alphaTest. Default is null.

wireframe

wireframe: Boolean;  

Render geometry as wireframe. Default is false (i.e. render as smooth shaded).

wireframeLinewidth

wireframeLinewidth: Float;  

Controls wireframe thickness. Default is 1.

Due to limitations of the OpenGL Core Profile with the WebGL renderer on most platforms linewidth will always be 1 regardless of the set value.
