Material.SetMatrix

SetMatrix(propertyName: string, matrix: Matrix4x4): void;
void SetMatrix(string propertyName, Matrix4x4 matrix);
def SetMatrix(propertyName as string, matrix as Matrix4x4) as void
SetMatrix(nameID: int, matrix: Matrix4x4): void;
void SetMatrix(int nameID, Matrix4x4 matrix);

Description

Set a named matrix for the shader.

This is mostly used with custom shaders that need extra matrix parameters. Matrix parameters are not exposed in the material inspector, but can be set and queried with SetMatrix and GetMatrix from scripts.
