Custom Shader Material
Extend Three.js standard materials with your own shaders!
These demos are real, you can click them! They contains full code, too.
More demos here! 📦
Custom Shader Material (CSM) lets you extend Three.js' material library with your own Vertex and Fragment shaders. **_It Supports both Vanilla and React!_**
Show Vanilla example
```js
import CustomShaderMaterial from "three-custom-shader-material/vanilla";function Box() {
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
const material = new CustomShaderMaterial({
baseMaterial: THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial,
vertexShader: /* glsl */ ` ... `, // Your vertex Shader
fragmentShader: /* glsl */ ` ... `, // Your fragment Shader
// Your Uniforms
uniforms: {
uTime: { value: 0 },
...
},
// Base material properties
flatShading: true,
color: 0xff00ff,
...
});return new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
}
```Show React example
```jsx
import CustomShaderMaterial from 'three-custom-shader-material'function Cube() {
const materialRef = useRef()useFrame((state) => {
if (materialRef.current) {
materialRef.current.uniforms.uTime.value = state.clock.elapsedTime
}
})return (
)
}
```Show Vue (Tresjs) example

```bash
npm install three-custom-shader-material
yarn add three-custom-shader-material
```## Output Variables
CSM provides the following output variables, all of them are optional but you MUST use these variables like you would use standard GLSL output variables to see results.
| Variable | Type | Description | Available In | Notes |
| --------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|Vertex Shader
| - | - | - | - |
| csm_Position | `vec3` | Custom vertex position. | Vertex Shader | csm_Position will be projected furthur down the line. Thus, no projection is needed here. |
| csm_PositionRaw | `vec4` | Direct equivalent of `gl_Position`. | Vertex Shader | |
| csm_Normal | `vec3` | Custom vertex normals. | Vertex Shader |
| csm_PointSize | `float` | Direct equivalent of `gl_PointSize`. | Vertex Shader | Only available in `PointsMaterial` |
|Fragmet Shader
| - | - | - | - |
| csm_DiffuseColor | `vec4` | Custom diffuse color. | Fragment Shader | Base material's shading will be applied to this color. |
| csm_FragColor | `vec4` | Direct equivalent of `gl_FragColor`. | Fragment Shader | csm_FragColor will override any shading applied by a base material. To preserve shading and other effects like roughness and metalness, use `csm_DiffuseColor` |
| csm_Roughness | `float` | Custom roughness. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with an `roughnessMap`. |
| csm_Metalness | `float` | Custom metalness. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with an `metalnessMap`. |
| csm_AO | `float` | Custom AO. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with an `aoMap`. |
| csm_Bump | `vec3` | Custom bump as perturbation to fragment normals. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `bumpMap`. |
| csm_Clearcoat | `float` | Custom clearcoat factor. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `clearcoat`. |
| csm_ClearcoatRoughness | `float` | Custom clearcoat roughenss factor. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `clearcoat`. |
| csm_ClearcoatNormal | `vec3` | Custom clearcoat normal. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `clearcoat`. |
| csm_Transmission | `float` | Custom transmission factor. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `transmission`. |
| csm_Thickness | `float` | Custom transmission thickness. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `transmission`. |
| csm_Iridescence | `float` | Custom iridescence factor. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `iridescence`. |
| csm_Emissive | `vec3` | Custom emissive color. | Fragment Shader | Only available in materials with a `emissive`. |
| csm_FragNormal | `vec3` | Custom fragment normal. | Only available in materials with a `normalMap`. |
|Fragmet Shader (Special)
| - | - | - | - |
| csm_DepthAlpha | `vec3` | Custom alpha for `MeshDepthMaterial`. | Fragment Shader | Useful for controlling `customDepthMaterial` with same shader as the shader material. |
| csm_UnlitFac | `vec3` | Custom mix between `csm_DiffuseColor` and `csm_FragColor`. | Fragment Shader | Can be used to mix lit and unlit materials. Set to `1.0` by default if `csm_FragColor` is found in shader string. |## Typing
CSM infers prop types based on the `baseMaterial` prop. However, if this does not work for what ever reason, you can pass your base material type as a generic to `CustomShaderMaterial`.
```ts
// Vanilla
const material = new CustomShaderMaterial({
baseMaterial: THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial,
//...Any props
});// React
baseMaterial={THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial}
//...Any props
```## Custom overrides
You can define any custom overrides you'd like using the `patchMap` prop. The prop is used as shown below.
```js
const material = new CustomShaderMaterial({
baseMaterial: THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial,
vertexShader: ` ... `,
fragmentShader: ... `,
uniforms: {...},
patchMap={{
"": { // The keyword you will assign to in your custom shader
"TO_REPLACE": // The chunk you'd like to replace.
"REPLACED_WITH" // The chunk you'd like put in place of `TO_REPLACE`
}
}}
})
```> Note: If `` is not found in shader string, the patch map will not be applied. To ALWAYS apply a patch map, use the special keyword - `*` (star).
>
> ```js
> patchMap={{
> "*": { "TO_REPLACE": "REPLACED_WITH" }
> }}
> ```## Extending already extended materials
CSM allows you to extend other CSM instances. Values set in the first shader will affect the next.
> Note: Extending of other materials that use `onBeforeCompile` may or may not work depending on if the default `#includes` are mangled.
Show Vanilla example
```js
import CustomShaderMaterial from "three-custom-shader-material/vanilla";function Box() {
const material1 = new CustomShaderMaterial({
baseMaterial: THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial,
//...Any props
});
const material2 = new CustomShaderMaterial({
baseMaterial: material1,
//...Any props
});
}
```Show React example
```jsx
import CustomShaderMaterial from "three-custom-shader-material";
import CustomShaderMaterialImpl from "three-custom-shader-material/vanilla";function Cube() {
const [materialRef, setMaterialRef] = useState();return (
<>
{materialRef && (
)}
>
);
}
```### Gotchas
- `csm_Position` **MUST** be a non-projected vector. i.e., no need to multiply `projectionMatrix` or `modelViewPosition` with it. If you require projection, use `csm_PositionRaw`.
- Instancing must be handled manually when using `csm_PositionRaw` by multiplying in `instanceMatrix` into your projection math.
- When extending already extended material, variables, uniforms, attributes, varyings and functions are **NOT** scoped to the material they are defined in. Thus, you **WILL** get redefinition errors if you do not manually scope these identifiers.
- Extending of other materials that use `onBeforeCompile` may or may not work depending on if the default `#includes` are mangled.
- When using an instance of CSM as the baseMaterial, or chining multiple CSM instances, or when extending any material that uses `onBeforeCompile` the injection order is as follows:```glsl
void main() {
// shader A
// shader B
// shader C
// shader D// original shader
}
```Where A was the first in the chain.
- Cache key calculation takes into account base material's cache key. Useful for propagating changes across multiple chained CSM instances.
- If you find yourself lost in a patchMap, it's often simpler to just make a `ShaderMaterial` with the necessary `#includes`.## Performance
With v6, CSM's initialization cost is now negligible 🥳 Still, a couple important notes about performance:
- Changing these props will rebuild the material
- `baseMaterial`
- `fragmentShader`
- `vertexShader`
- `uniforms`
- `cacheKey`
- CSM uses ThreeJS's default shader program caching system. Materials with the same cache key, will use the the same shader program.
- `` and `` are the same, and will use the same cached shader program. The default cache key is such:```js
(cacheKey?.() || hash((vertexShader || "") + (fragmentShader || ""))) +
baseMaterialCacheKey?.();
```You can provide your own cache key function via the `cacheKey` prop.
> Note: CSM will only rebuild if the **reference** to the above props change, for example, in React, doing `uniforms={{...}}` means that the uniforms object is unstable, i.e. it is re-created, with a **new** reference every render. Instead, condsider memoizing the uniforms prop `const uniforms = useMemo(() -> ({...}));`. The uniforms object will then have the same refrence on every render.
> If the uniforms are memoized, changing their value by doing `uniforms.foo.value = ...` will not cause CSM to rebuild, as the refrence of `uniforms` does not change.
