Set a color property.
Adds a property to the block. If a color property with the given name already exists, the old value is replaced.
using UnityEngine;
// Draws 3 meshes with the same material but with different colors. public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Mesh mesh; public Material material; private MaterialPropertyBlock block;
void Start() { block = new MaterialPropertyBlock(); } void Update() { // red mesh block.SetColor("_Color", Color.red); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block);
// green mesh block.SetColor("_Color", Color.green); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block);
// blue mesh block.SetColor("_Color", Color.blue); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(-5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); } }
Function variant that takes nameID
is faster. If you are changing properties with the same name repeatedly,
use Shader.PropertyToID to get unique identifier for the name, and pass the identifier to SetColor.
using UnityEngine;
// Draws 3 meshes with the same material but with different colors. public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Mesh mesh; public Material material; private MaterialPropertyBlock block; private int colorID;
void Start() { block = new MaterialPropertyBlock(); colorID = Shader.PropertyToID("_Color"); } void Update() { // red mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.red); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block);
// green mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.green); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block);
// blue mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.blue); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(-5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); } }
