Instantiates a new standard material. This is the default material used in Babylon. It is the best trade off between quality and performances.
Define the name of the material in the scene
Define the scene the material belong to
Gets or sets a boolean indicating that the material is allowed (if supported) to do shader hot swapping. This means that the material can keep using a previous shader while a new one is being compiled. This is mostly used when shader parallel compilation is supported (true by default)
Defines the alpha limits in alpha test mode.
The color of the material lit by the environmental background lighting.
AKA Occlusion Texture in other nomenclature, it helps adding baked shadows into your material.
Stores the animations for the material
Bump mapping is a technique to simulate bump and dents on a rendered surface. These are made by creating a normal map from an image. The means to do this can be found on the web, a search for 'normal map generator' will bring up free and paid for methods of doing this.
Specifies if the ready state should be checked on each call
Specifies if the ready state should be checked once
Custom callback helping to override the default shader used in the material.
Specifies the depth function that should be used. 0 means the default engine function
Defines the detail map parameters for the material.
The basic color of the material as viewed under a light.
Define the diffuse fresnel parameters of the material.
The basic texture of the material as viewed under a light.
Specifies if color writing should be disabled
Specifies if depth writing should be disabled
Does lights from the scene impacts this material. It can be a nice trick for performance to disable lighting on a fully emissive material.
Specifies if the material should be serialized
Define the color of the material as if self lit. This will be mixed in the final result even in the absence of light.
Define the emissive fresnel parameters of the material.
Define texture of the material as if self lit. This will be mixed in the final result even in the absence of light.
Specifies if depth writing should be forced

In case of refraction, define the value of the index of refraction.
List of inspectable custom properties (used by the Inspector)
If sets to true, x component of normal map value will invert (x = 1.0 - x).
If sets to true, y component of normal map value will invert (y = 1.0 - y).
Invert the refraction texture alongside the y axis. It can be useful with procedural textures or probe for instance.
Complex lighting can be computationally expensive to compute at runtime. To save on computation, lightmaps may be used to store calculated lighting in a texture which will be applied to a given mesh.
If true, some kind of energy conservation will prevent the end result to be more than 1 by reducing the emissive level when the final color is close to one.
Defines the maximum number of lights that can be used in the material
Gets or sets user defined metadata
The name of the material
Callback triggered when the material is compiled
An event triggered when the material is disposed
Callback triggered when an error occurs
Define the opacity fresnel parameters of the material.
Define the transparency of the material from a texture. The final alpha value can be read either from the red channel (if texture.getAlphaFromRGB is false) or from the luminance or the current texel (if texture.getAlphaFromRGB is true)
Apply a scaling factor that determine which "depth" the height map should reprensent. A value between 0.05 and 0.1 is reasonnable in Parallax, you can reach 0.2 using Parallax Occlusion.
Stores the size of points
Define the reflection fresnel parameters of the material.
Define the texture used to display the reflection.
Define the refraction fresnel parameters of the material.
Define the texture used to display the refraction.
For internal use only. Please do not use.
Helps to define how blurry the reflections should appears in the material.
Specifies if there should be a separate pass for culling
Custom shadow depth material to use for shadow rendering instead of the in-built one
Stores the value for side orientation
Define how the color and intensity of the highlight given by the light in the material.
Defines how sharp are the highlights in the material. The bigger the value the sharper giving a more glossy feeling to the result. Reversely, the smaller the value the blurrier giving a more rough feeling to the result.
Define how the color and intensity of the highlight given by the light in the material.
The state of the material
If sets to true and backfaceCulling is false, normals will be flipped on the backside.
Gets or sets the unique id of the material
Does the transparency come from the diffuse texture alpha channel.
If true, the emissive value is added into the end result, otherwise it is multiplied in.
Defines if the glossiness/roughness of the material should be read from the specular map alpha channel
In case of light mapping, define whether the map contains light or shadow informations.
Allows using an object space normal map (instead of tangent space).
Is parallax enabled or not.
Is parallax occlusion enabled or not. If true, the outcome is way more realistic than traditional Parallax but you can expect a performance hit that worthes consideration.
If true automatically deducts the fresnels values from the material specularity.
Specifies that the material will keeps the reflection highlights over a transparent surface (only the most limunous ones). A car glass is a good exemple of that. When the street lights reflects on it you can not see what is behind.

The color grading curves provide additional color adjustmnent that is applied after any color grading transform (3D LUT). They allow basic adjustment of saturation and small exposure adjustments, along with color filter tinting to provide white balance adjustment or more stylistic effects. These are similar to controls found in many professional imaging or colorist software. The global controls are applied to the entire image. For advanced tuning, extra controls are provided to adjust the shadow, midtone and highlight areas of the image; corresponding to low luminance, medium luminance, and high luminance areas respectively.
