Material

Info

Material inherits from [Object](/docs/create/lua/API/Object/index.html)

The material class. This class exposes all properties from a material, allowing you to animate them. You can also use it to set custom shader properties that can't be accessed through the inspector (e.g. matrices). Unity Material
