Textures are imported bitmaps with certain import conditions applied. enableInstancing: Gets and sets whether GPU instancing is enabled for this material. "_BumpMap" is the normal map. Many shaders use more than one texture. Browse more 2D Textures & Materials on the Unity Asset Store. Textures have to be a part of a material. See Also: mainTexture property, SetTexture, Shader.PropertyToID. Common texture names used by Unity's builtin shaders: "_MainTex" is the main diffuse texture. Select the material, press F2, and rename the new material to Textures. Materials MAY have slots that can accept texture references. mainTexture: The main texture. When a texture is loaded an Image data object is created for it. Material.mainTexture is the main diffuse texture.

Elevate your workflow with the Yughues Free Metal Materials asset from Nobiax / Yughues. The final result is a material you can use to apply on your BSP geometry and on Static Meshes. globalIlluminationFlags: Defines how the material should interact with lightmaps and lightprobes. If none, create a white one with that alpha. This can also be changed by “_MainTex” property name for the texture from unity’s builtin standard shader. Some materials MAY accept more than one texture (i.e., diffuse, normal, specular, etc. Materials are instances of shaders.
