Optional parameters: MeshPhysicalMaterialParametersEnables alpha hashed transparency, an alternative to .transparent or .alphaTest. The material will not be rendered if opacity is lower than a random threshold. Randomization introduces some grain or noise, but approximates alpha blending without the associated problems of sorting. Using TAARenderPass can reduce the resulting noise.
null
Sets the alpha value to be used when running an alpha test. Default is 0.
0
Enables alpha to coverage. Can only be used with MSAA-enabled rendering contexts.

false
Defines whether to clip shadows according to the clipping planes specified on this material. Default is false.
false
User-defined clipping planes specified as THREE.Plane objects in world space. These planes apply to the objects this material is attached to. Points in space whose signed distance to the plane is negative are clipped (not rendered). See the WebGL / clipping /intersection example. Default is null.

Which depth function to use. Default is LessEqualDepth. See the depth mode constants for all possible values.
THREE.LessEqualDepth
Whether to have depth test enabled when rendering this material. When the depth test is disabled, the depth write will also be implicitly disabled.
true
Whether rendering this material has any effect on the depth buffer. Default is true. When drawing 2D overlays it can be useful to disable the depth writing in order to layer several things together without creating z-index artifacts.
true

Whether to apply dithering to the color to remove the appearance of banding. Default is false.

null
Material name. Default is an empty string.
''
Specifies that the material needs to be updated, WebGL wise. Set it to true if you made changes that need to be reflected in WebGL. This property is automatically set to true when instancing a new material.
false
null
THREE.TangentSpaceNormalMap
new THREE.Vector2( 1, 1 )
Opacity. Default is 1.

Whether to use polygon offset. Default is false. This corresponds to the POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL WebGL feature.
false
Sets the polygon offset factor. Default is 0.
0
Sets the polygon offset units. Default is 0.
0
Override the renderer's default precision for this material. Can be "highp", "mediump" or "lowp". Defaults is null.
null
Whether to premultiply the alpha (transparency) value. See WebGL / Materials / Transparency for an example of the difference. Default is false.
false

null
Defines whether this material is tone mapped according to the renderer's toneMapping setting. It is ignored when rendering to a render target.
true
0
null
Defines whether this material is transparent. This has an effect on rendering as transparent objects need special treatment and are rendered after non-transparent objects. When set to true, the extent to which the material is transparent is controlled by setting it's .opacity property.
false
'MeshPhysicalMaterial'
An object that can be used to store custom data about the Material. It should not hold references to functions as these will not be cloned.

Adds a listener to an event type.
The type of event to listen to.
The function that gets called when the event is fired.
Copy the parameters from the passed material into this material.
Fire an event type.
This disposes the material. Textures of a material don't get disposed. These needs to be disposed by Texture.
Checks if listener is added to an event type.
The type of event to listen to.
The function that gets called when the event is fired.
An optional callback that is executed immediately before the shader program is compiled. This function is called with the associated WebGL program parameters and renderer. Useful for the modification of built-in materials.

Removes a listener from an event type.
The type of the listener that gets removed.
The listener function that gets removed.
Sets the properties based on the values.
A container with parameters.
Materials describe the appearance of objects. They are defined in a (mostly) renderer-independent way, so you don't have to rewrite materials if you decide to use a different renderer.
