Material Operators

Material operators that are used by renderers to determine the color of points on the surface of geometry.

These operators are specialized to work in the MaterialContext and may not support being fed through other OPs like filters.

Operators

	backgroundFieldContrib	Accesses color from the background field of the renderer, which is based on the surface normal, for use in a modularMat.
	basicMat	Material with a basic lighting model.
	colorizeSdf2d	Converts a 2D SDF to a striped distance pattern.
	diffuseContrib	A material element that provides diffuse light contribution.
	goochShadingContrib	A material element that uses the Gooch shading model.
	hologramContrib beta
	iridescenceContrib	Shading element that produces a rainbow pattern around the edges of shapes, depending on which direction the surface is facing (the surface normal).
	matCapContrib	Shading using a MatCap (Material Capture) image to fake lighting and reflections.
	modularMat	A material that is composed of one or more shading elements.
	pbrMat beta
	phongMat deprecated	Material that uses phong shading.
	reflectContrib beta	A material element that produces color based on light reflected from other surfaces.
	reflectMat beta
	rimContrib	Shading that is applied to the edges of a surface relative to where it's viewed from.
	sampledPointMat	A material that produces color for volumetric points relative to the input shape.
	shadingProperty
	shadowContrib beta	A material element that produces the shading level for the surface.
	skyLightContrib	A material element that acts as a basic pseudo directional light.
	specularContrib	A material element that provides specular light contribution.
	subsurfaceContrib beta
	surfaceColorContrib	A material element that produces the assigned color attribute for the surface.
	toonShadingContrib beta	Modular shading element which uses a cell/toon shading technique with a color ramp.
