KHRMaterialsUnlit

KHR_materials_unlit defines an unlit shading model for use in glTF 2.0 materials.

Unlit (also "Shadeless" or "Constant") materials provide a simple alternative to the Physically Based Rendering (PBR) shading models provided by the core specification. Unlit materials are often useful for cheaper rendering on performance-contrained devices, e.g. mobile phones. Additionally, unlit materials can be very useful in achieving stylized, non-photo-realistic effects like hand painted illustrative styles or baked toon shaders.

Properties:

• Unlit

Example

The KHRMaterialsUnlit class provides a single ExtensionProperty type, Unlit, which may be attached to any Material instance. For example:

import { KHRMaterialsUnlit, Unlit } from '@gltf-transform/extensions';

// Create an Extension attached to the Document.
const unlitExtension = document.createExtension(KHRMaterialsUnlit);

// Create an Unlit property.
const unlit = unlitExtension.createUnlit();

// Attach the property to a Material.
material.setExtension('KHR_materials_unlit', unlit);
