Interface: MaterialClearCoat

Simulates an additional transparent layer on top of the base material.

Clear coat creates a layered material effect mimicking surfaces with a protective or decorative coating over a base material. Examples include clear-coated automotive paint, lacquered wood, or glazed ceramics.

Business value:

  • Essential for authentic representation of varnished, polished, or coated products
  • Creates premium visual quality for high-end finishes
  • Accurately simulates automotive, furniture, and ceramic industry finishes
  • Distinguishes between raw and finished material appearances

Properties​

bumpTexture​

bumpTexture: Partial<MaterialTexture>

Texture that controls the surface relief of the clear coat layer.

indexOfRefraction​

indexOfRefraction: string

Refractive index of the clear coat layer. Controls how light bends through the surface coating.

intensity​

intensity: string

Strength of the clear coat effect.

isActive​

isActive: boolean

When true, applies the clear coat effect to this material.

isTintEnabled​

isTintEnabled: boolean

When true, the clear coat has a subtle color tint.

roughness​

roughness: string

Surface smoothness of the clear coat layer. Lower values create a more polished, reflective coating.

texture​

texture: Partial<MaterialTexture>

Texture that controls the intensity of the clear coat effect.

tintColor​

tintColor: string[]

Color tint of the clear coat layer in RGB format.

tintColorAtDistance​

tintColorAtDistance: string

Controls how the tint color fades with viewing distance.

tintTexture​

tintTexture: Partial<MaterialTexture>

Texture that provides the tint color for the clear coat.

tintThickness​

tintThickness: string

Thickness of the clear coat tint effect.

useRoughnessFromMainTexture​

useRoughnessFromMainTexture: boolean

When true, uses the main material's roughness for the clear coat layer.
