Segmentation Material

Use Segmentation Material to quickly add commonly used segmentation effects to the scene. A segmentation material will automatically be created when adding segmentation objects.

Add Segmentation Material​

You can add Segmentation Material by clicking the Add button [+] > Material > Segmentation Material in the Assets panel.

Segmentation Material Properties​

Material Properties​

segmentation texture

Segmentation Texture:

  • Texture: Texture
albedo

Albedo: Albedo is the diffused reflection of a surface. Think of it as the original color of the material without any lighting.

  • Color: Set up the material’s Albedo color by the hexadecimal color code or by picking a color from the color wheel.
  • Texture On: If selected, you can choose a texture as the material’s Albedo color. The color you set up will become the filter color of the texture.
advanced

Advanced Settings:

  • Radius: How compact the segmentation is.
  • Softness: How feathered the edge of the segmentation is.

Render State 0​

Depth Test: If selected, depth test should be performed and compared in the depth buffer.

Depth Write: If selected, the geometry depth is written to the depth buffer. Deselect it if you are rendering objects that are transparent.

Depth Function: Determine how the depth testing gets performed.

  • Never: The depth test never passes and the object will never be rendered.
depth function never
  • Less: Draw the part of the object when it is in front of the existing objects and hide the parts that are behind the existing objects.
depth function less
  • Equal: Draw the part of the object that is at the same depth as the existing objects and hide the parts that are in front or behind the existing objects.
  • Less Equal: Draw the part of the object that is in front or at the same depth as the existing objects and hide the parts that are behind the existing objects.
depth function less equal
  • Greater: Draw the part of the object that is behind the existing objects, and hide the parts that are in front of the existing objects.
depth function greater
  • Not Equal: Draw the part of the object that is not at the same depth as the existing objects.
depth function not equal
  • Greater or Equal: Draw the part of the object that is behind or at the same depth as the existing objects and hide the parts that are in front of the existing objects.
depth function greater equal
  • Always: The depth test always passes. Always render the object with the material.

Color Mask: If the following are left unselected, writing to the unselected channel into the render target will be stopped.

  • R: Red
  • G: Green
  • B: Blue
  • A: Alpha channels

Cull Mode: The polygon has front and back sides.

cull mode property
  • None: Both inside and outside faces will render.
  • Back: Polygons that face away from the viewer will not render.
  • Front: Inside facing polygons will render.

Blend Mode instructs how the current material blends with the background. The default mode is Transparent.
