Material.Lerp

Switch to Manual
public void Lerp(Material start, Material end, float t);

Description

Interpolate properties between two materials.

Makes all color and float values of a material be interpolated from start to end, based on t.
When t is 0, all values are taken from start.
When t is 1, all values are taken from end.

Most often you want the materials that are interpolated between to be the same (use the same shaders and textures) except for colors and floats. Then you use Lerp to blend between them.
