A standard PBR shader, with an additional color mask texture. The color mask controls the visibility of the diffuse parameter, which gets multiplied with the diffuse texture color. This is useful if you want to animate specific regions of a material.

Behavior

Supports deferred rendering
Supports compute instancing
Supports transparency blending
Supports transparency clipping
Uses the PBR lighting model
Uses weather effects
Uses the default shading model
Vertex colors, including alpha, get combined with the diffuse texture via multiplication. (Only if they are not already used for vertex animation textures)

Textures


Name	Index	Info
`diffuse`	0	A standard albedo texture. Uses alpha channel for transparency. Uses the 1st UV channel.
`diffuse`	1	A mask texture. Uses the red channel to control the visibility of the diffuse parameter color. Uses the 1st UV channel.
`specular`	0	A standard PRM texture. Uses the 1st UV channel.
`normal`	0	A standard normal map texture. Uses the 1st UV channel.

Parameters


Name	X	Y	Z	W
`diffuse`	(RGB) Color multiplied with the sampled diffuse texture color (based on the mask)			N/A

Technical

Uses the default vertex shader.
