Materials†

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

Materials

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.

Export Selected Elements
Export the selected elements as an .exrbr file. If multiple selections are made, they are combined into one file.
The .exrbr file is a file format that allows various resources to be compiled and imported into Bakin.

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.

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 assign a sphere, or a model or 3D stamp with the material being selected 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")

Use Object Transparency
Specify whether objects using this material should be made transparent by applying dithering (a grid-like transparent mesh) when they approach the camera.
This setting is valid only when "Use Object Transparency" is turned on in Game Definition > Rules Settings.

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.

Outlines
Apply outlines to the area to which the material will be applied.

Use Outlines
If checked, outlines will be applied.
(!)
The outline may break off in areas where the normals are sharply angled.
If you are concerned about this, please adjust the normals at the corners of your model beforehand.
We are considering the ability to apply smoothing on the Bakin side, but we expect it to be a trade-off for processing speed (because it determines the angle and applies smoothing automatically).

Outline Thickness
Assign the outline thickness.

Outline Color
Assign the outline color.

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_terrain	It will be rendered in the same way as the terrain. When a model is exported using the Map Editor's "Export Model" right-click context menu and placed on the map as a stamp, it can be used to match the appearance of the terrain.
map_wind_discard	This shader adds vertex animation by wind to map_discard.
toon	It creates a cartoon-like rendering with sharply defined shading.
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.
