What you can do with the Resource menu "Materials"†

Under Materials in the Resource menu, you can configure detailed settings for materials.

Material Setting Options†

• Material List
  This is a list of registered materials.
  Materials can be generated automatically when a model is added, or they can be generated anew by selecting the texture you want to base the model on from the Add button.

• Add Button
  Select a registered texture and generate a material.

• Folder Button
  Add a folder for management.
  If there are any selected files, include them and make them into a folder. (Multiple selections allowed)
  Data can be moved by drag and drop after adding folders.

• Copy Button
  Copy the selected materials.

• Paste Button
  Paste the copied materials.

• Trash Button
  Delete the selected materials.

Material List / Right-Click Menu†

Right-click in the material list to view.

• Cut
  Cut out the selected materials.

• Copy
  Copy the selected materials.

• Paste
  Paste the cut and copied materials.

• Delete
  Delete the selected materials.

• Rename File by Resource Name
  Not used for materials in Resource Management.

• Specify Local Name
  Folder name localization function.
  English folder names can be specified when opening in the English version.

• Open the Resources Folder in Explorer
  Not used for materials in Resource Management.

• Open the Import Folder in Explorer
  Not used for materials in Resource Management.

• Copy GUID
  Copy the GUID.

• Sort This Hierarchy by Name
  Sort alphabetically by name within the selected hierarchy/folder.

• Sort Selected Elements by Name
  Sort only on multiple selections.

Material Preview†

This is a preview screen of the material.

#ref(): File not found: "Materials Preview Default.png" at page "Materials"

• Preview Screen
  The camera can be rotated and moved by dragging the right mouse button and moved horizontally by dragging the middle mouse button.

• Model Used for Preview
  You can select a sphere or a model for which the material being selected is specified.

Material Settings†

This section provides detailed material settings.

• Name
  Specify the name for the material.
  (It can also be changed by clicking twice on the name of the physics setting in the Physics Settings list.)

• Basic
  • Culling
    Select whether to render the faces of the mesh.
     

[Back Face Culling] The back side of the mesh is not rendered. (Normally, this setting is used.)
[Double Sided] Render both sides of the mesh. (Use this setting when you want both sides of the mesh to be rendered, for example, for grass.)
[Front Face Culling] The front side of the mesh is not rendered.
[Invisible] Does not render the mesh.

• Cast Shadow
  This setting determines whether or not this material casts shadows on the model to which it is assigned.

• Linked to Building Lights
  The emissive setting of this material is enabled only if "Lights on Buildings" is turned on in the rendering settings.
  Use for house windows, street lights, lamps, etc., where you want the light to emit only at night.
  ("Map Settings > Rendering > Lights > Lights on Buildings")

• Animation
  Specify the material animation.

• U Scroll Animation
  Specify texture animation for the U-axis.

• V Scroll Animation
  Specify texture animation for the V-axis.

• Speed
  Specify the animation speed.

• UV Step Animation
  This is specified to slice a texture and use it as if it were slice animation.
  The UV of the model must be attached to the first slice in advance.
  (This function does not scale texture coordinates.)

• U Slice
  Specify how many horizontal slices the texture will be divided into.

• V Slice
  Specify how many vertical slices the texture will be divided into.

• Number of Total Frames
  Specify how many slices there are in total.

• Interval (sec)
  Specify the time it takes to advance to the next slice.

• Emissive Blink
  If there is an emissive specification, it can be blinked on and off.

• Speed
  Specify the emissive blinking speed.

• Shaders
   
  For more information, please read the Shaders page.

  2dmap_skybox	Render the skybox with a 2D texture for a spherical map.
  a_n	Render opacity. Physics-based shading, Albedo <Color>, Normal <Normal>
  a_n_discard	Render opacity. Physics-based shading, Albedo <Color>, Normal <Normal>, Discard Alpha
  a_n_rm	Render opacity. Physics-based shading, Albedo <Color>, Normal <Normal>, Mask <Roughness (Green), Metallic (Blue), Emissive (Red), Specular (Alpha)>
  a_n_rm_discard	Render opacity. Physics-based shading, Albedo <Color>, Normal <Normal>, Mask <Roughness (Green), Metallic (Blue), Emissive (Red), Specular (Alpha)>, Discard Alpha
  a_n_rm_sss_discard	This shader includes SSS elements in a_n_rm_discard.
  a_n_rm_wind_discard	This shader adds vertex animation by wind to a_n_rm_discard.
  a_n_wind_discard	This shader adds vertex animation by wind to a_n_discard.
  character_create_hair	Hair shader for characters. Overlay composite of vertex color and parameter hair color.
  character_create_skin	Skin shader for characters. Places parts such as eyes and mouth based on parameters from vertex coordinates.
  cubemap_skybox	Render the skybox with a cube texture for a spherical map.
  glass	Environment maps can be rendered as reflective, glass-like textures. Rendered as translucent. No lighting is performed.
  map	It is a physics-based extension of the shader for non-physics-based rendering. Performs opaque rendering.
  map_discard	Based on the map shader, discard alpha (non-transparent) is performed. For example, the effect of leaves. Rendered as opaque.
  map_nolit	This shader does not perform lighting and does not apply an environment map; the color of the texture remains the same. It renders as opaque.
  map_nolit_add	No lighting or environment map is applied, and the texture is blended with the color of the texture as it is by add. It is rendered as translucent.
  map_nolit_alpha	No lighting or environment map is applied, and the texture is composited with the texture's alpha value, leaving the texture's color as it is. It is rendered as translucent.
  map_nolit_discard	Based on the map_nolit shader, discard alpha (non-transparent). Rendered as opaque.
  map_nolit_modulate	No lighting or environment map is applied, and the texture is blended by modulate with the color of the texture. Rendered as translucent.
  map_notex	Displays polygons using only vertex colors, without textures. Physics-based shading. Rendered as opaque.
  map_wind_discard	This shader adds vertex animation by wind to map_discard.
  transparent_normal _water	Use the normal map to express the surface of the water. The result of the back rendering is used for the refraction representation.
