Three.js Materials
Quick Start
import * as THREE from 'three' ;
const material = new THREE .MeshStandardMaterial ({
color : 0xffffff ,
roughness : 0.5 ,
metalness : 0.0 ,
});
const mesh = new THREE .Mesh (new THREE .BoxGeometry (1 , 1 , 1 ), material);
scene.add (mesh);
Material Hierarchy — Choose by Cost
From cheapest to most expensive:
Material Lighting Shadows Best For MeshBasicMaterialNone No UI, wireframes, skyboxes, emissive-only MeshLambertMaterialFlat/Gouraud Yes Low-poly stylised, background props MeshPhongMaterialBlinn-Phong Yes Shiny plastics, legacy assets MeshStandardMaterialPBR Yes Default — game characters, props MeshPhysicalMaterialPBR + extras Yes Glass, car paint, skin, cloth ShaderMaterialCustom
MeshBasicMaterial Flat colour or texture, unaffected by lights.
const mat = new THREE .MeshBasicMaterial ({
color : 0xff0000 ,
map : texture,
wireframe : false ,
transparent : false ,
opacity : 1.0 ,
side : THREE .FrontSide ,
alphaTest : 0.5 ,
depthWrite : true ,
depthTest : true ,
});
MeshLambertMaterial Diffuse-only lighting. Fast but no specular highlights.
const mat = new THREE .MeshLambertMaterial ({
color : 0x44aa88 ,
map : texture,
emissive : new THREE .Color (0x000000 ),
emissiveIntensity : 1.0 ,
});
Good choice for foliage, rock, soil — surfaces that aren't shiny.
MeshPhongMaterial Blinn-Phong shading with specular highlights.
const mat = new THREE .MeshPhongMaterial ({
color : 0xffffff ,
specular : new THREE .Color (0x111111 ),
shininess : 30 ,
map : diffuseTexture,
normalMap : normalTexture,
bumpMap : bumpTexture,
bumpScale : 1.0 ,
emissive : new THREE .Color (0x000000 ),
});
MeshStandardMaterial — Default Choice Physically based rendering (PBR) — metalness/roughness workflow.
const mat = new THREE .MeshStandardMaterial ({
color : 0xffffff ,
map : albedoTexture,
roughness : 0.5 ,
roughnessMap : roughnessTex,
metalness : 0.0 ,
metalnessMap : metalnessTex,
normalMap : normalTex,
normalScale : new THREE .Vector2 (1 , 1 ),
aoMap : aoTex,
aoMapIntensity : 1.0 ,
emissive : new THREE .Color (0x000000 ),
emissiveMap : emissiveTex,
emissiveIntensity : 1.0 ,
envMap : envMapTexture,
envMapIntensity : 1.0 ,
transparent : false ,
opacity : 1.0 ,
alphaMap : alphaTex,
alphaTest : 0 ,
side : THREE .FrontSide ,
});
MeshPhysicalMaterial — Advanced PBR Extends MeshStandardMaterial with real-world effects. Use sparingly — higher shader complexity.
const mat = new THREE .MeshPhysicalMaterial ({
clearcoat : 1.0 ,
clearcoatRoughness : 0.1 ,
clearcoatMap : clearcoatTex,
clearcoatRoughnessMap : clearcoatRoughTex,
clearcoatNormalMap : clearcoatNormalTex,
transmission : 1.0 ,
transmissionMap : transmissionTex,
thickness : 0.5 ,
ior : 1.5 ,
attenuationDistance : Infinity ,
attenuationColor : new THREE .Color (0xffffff ),
iridescence : 1.0 ,
iridescenceIOR : 1.3 ,
iridescenceThicknessRange : [100 , 400 ],
sheen : 1.0 ,
sheenRoughness : 0.5 ,
sheenColor : new THREE .Color (0xffffff ),
sheenColorMap : sheenColorTex,
anisotropy : 0.5 ,
anisotropyRotation : 0 ,
anisotropyMap : anisotropyTex,
});
Glass Example const glassMat = new THREE .MeshPhysicalMaterial ({
transmission : 1.0 ,
thickness : 0.5 ,
roughness : 0.05 ,
ior : 1.5 ,
transparent : true ,
side : THREE .DoubleSide ,
});
MeshToonMaterial — Cel Shading Stepped lighting for cartoon/anime look. Uses a gradient map to define light steps.
const gradientCanvas = document .createElement ('canvas' );
gradientCanvas.width = 3 ;
gradientCanvas.height = 1 ;
const ctx = gradientCanvas.getContext ('2d' );
ctx.fillStyle = '#000000' ; ctx.fillRect (0 , 0 , 1 , 1 );
ctx.fillStyle = '#888888' ; ctx.fillRect (1 , 0 , 1 , 1 );
ctx.fillStyle = '#ffffff' ; ctx.fillRect (2 , 0 , 1 , 1 );
const gradMap = new THREE .CanvasTexture (gradientCanvas);
gradMap.minFilter = gradMap.magFilter = THREE .NearestFilter ;
const toonMat = new THREE .MeshToonMaterial ({
color : 0x44aaff ,
gradientMap : gradMap,
map : texture,
});
MeshNormalMaterial Visualises surface normals as RGB. Development/debugging only.
const normalMat = new THREE .MeshNormalMaterial ({
flatShading : false ,
wireframe : false ,
});
MeshDepthMaterial Renders depth as greyscale. Used for custom post-processing effects.
const depthMat = new THREE .MeshDepthMaterial ({
depthPacking : THREE .RGBADepthPacking ,
});
LineBasicMaterial / LineDashedMaterial const lineMat = new THREE .LineBasicMaterial ({
color : 0x00ff00 ,
linewidth : 1 ,
});
const dashedMat = new THREE .LineDashedMaterial ({
color : 0xffffff ,
dashSize : 0.1 ,
gapSize : 0.05 ,
scale : 1 ,
});
lineGeometry.computeLineDistances ();
PointsMaterial const pointsMat = new THREE .PointsMaterial ({
size : 0.02 ,
sizeAttenuation : true ,
color : 0xffffff ,
map : particleTexture,
alphaTest : 0.5 ,
transparent : true ,
vertexColors : false ,
blending : THREE .AdditiveBlending ,
});
Transparency Three.js has two transparency systems:
mat.transparent = true ;
mat.opacity = 0.5 ;
mat.alphaTest = 0.5 ;
mesh.renderOrder = 1 ;
Blending Modes mat.blending = THREE .NormalBlending ;
mat.blending = THREE .AdditiveBlending ;
mat.blending = THREE .MultiplyBlending ;
mat.blending = THREE .SubtractiveBlending ;
mat.depthWrite = false ;
Shared Properties (All Materials) material.side = THREE .FrontSide ;
material.visible = true ;
material.depthTest = true ;
material.depthWrite = true ;
material.wireframe = false ;
material.fog = true ;
material.vertexColors = false ;
material.flatShading = false ;
material.needsUpdate = false ;
material.clippingPlanes = [new THREE .Plane (new THREE .Vector3 (0 , -1 , 0 ), 1 )];
material.clipIntersection = false ;
material.clipShadows = false ;
Multiple Materials on One Mesh Assign different materials to geometry groups.
const mesh = new THREE .Mesh (geometry, [mat1, mat2, mat3]);
geometry.addGroup (0 , 3 , 0 );
geometry.addGroup (3 , 3 , 1 );
Material Disposal function disposeMaterial (material ) {
const slots = [
'map' , 'normalMap' , 'roughnessMap' , 'metalnessMap' ,
'aoMap' , 'emissiveMap' , 'alphaMap' , 'envMap' ,
'displacementMap' , 'lightMap' , 'clearcoatMap' ,
'transmissionMap' , 'sheenColorMap' ,
];
slots.forEach (slot =>dispose ());
material.dispose ();
}
Performance Tips
Start with MeshStandardMaterial — only upgrade to Physical when a specific feature is neededUse MeshBasicMaterial for skyboxes, UI planes, invisible collidersShare material instances — one material per visual variant, not one per meshAvoid DoubleSide — nearly doubles fragment shader invocations; model closed geometry insteadalphaTest over transparent: trueDisable fog: false on materials that will never be in fog (performance micro-optimisation for large scenes)
const mats = meshes.map (() => new THREE .MeshStandardMaterial ({ color : 0xff0000 }));
const sharedMat = new THREE .MeshStandardMaterial ({ color : 0xff0000 });
const mats = meshes.map (() => sharedMat);
