MaterialsClearcoat

KHR_materials_clearcoat defines a clear coating on a glTF PBR material.

Illustration

Figure: Comparison of a carbon-fiber material without clearcoat (left) and with clearcoat (right). Source: Filament.

A clear coat is a common technique used in Physically-Based Rendering for a protective layer applied to a base material. Commonly used to represent car paint, carbon fiber, or thin lacquers.

Properties:

Example

 
import { MaterialsClearcoat, Clearcoat } from '@gltf-transform/extensions';

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

// Create Clearcoat property.
const clearcoat = clearcoatExtension.createClearcoat()
    .setClearcoatFactor(1.0);

// Assign to a Material.
material.setExtension('KHR_materials_clearcoat', clearcoat);

Properties

extensionName: "KHR_materials_clearcoat" = ...
prereadTypes: PropertyType[]

Before reading, extension should be called for these Property types. Most extensions don't need to implement this.

prewriteTypes: PropertyType[]

Before writing, extension should be called for these Property types. Most extensions don't need to implement this.

readDependencies: string[]

Dependency IDs needed by this extension, to be installed before I/O.

Methods

  • dispose(): void

  • Disables and removes the extension from the Document.

  • Installs dependencies required by the extension.

  • isRequired(): boolean

  • Indicates to the client whether it is OK to load the asset when this extension is not recognized. Optional extensions are generally preferred, if there is not a good reason to require a client to completely fail when an extension isn't known.

  • Used by the PlatformIO utilities when reading a glTF asset. This method may optionally be implemented by an extension, and should then support any property type declared by the Extension's Extension.prereadTypes list. The Extension will be given a ReaderContext instance, and is expected to update either the context or its JSONDocument with resources known to the Extension. Most extensions don't need to implement this.

  • prewrite(_writerContext: WriterContext, _propertyType: PropertyType): MaterialsClearcoat

  • Used by the PlatformIO utilities when writing a glTF asset. This method may optionally be implemented by an extension, and should then support any property type declared by the Extension's Extension.prewriteTypes list. The Extension will be given a WriterContext instance, and is expected to update either the context or its JSONDocument with resources known to the Extension. Most extensions don't need to implement this.

  • Indicates to the client whether it is OK to load the asset when this extension is not recognized. Optional extensions are generally preferred, if there is not a good reason to require a client to completely fail when an extension isn't known.

  • register(): void

  • Performs first-time setup for the extension. Must be idempotent.
