+# Three.js Materials
+
+## Overview
+
+Three.js materials - PBR, basic, phong, shader materials, material properties. Use when styling meshes, working with textures, creating custom shaders, or optimizing material performance.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```javascript
+import * as THREE from "three";
+
+// PBR material (recommended for realistic rendering)
+const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
+  color: 0x00ff00,
+  roughness: 0.5,
+  metalness: 0.5,
+});
+
+const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
+```
+

+
+## MeshBasicMaterial
+
+No lighting calculations. Fast, always visible.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
+  color: 0xff0000,
+  transparent: true,
+  opacity: 0.5,
+  side: THREE.DoubleSide, // FrontSide, BackSide, DoubleSide
+  wireframe: false,
+  map: texture, // Color/diffuse texture
+  alphaMap: alphaTexture, // Transparency texture
+  envMap: envTexture, // Reflection texture
+  reflectivity: 1, // Env map intensity
+  fog: true, // Affected by scene fog
+});
+```
+
+## MeshLambertMaterial
+
+Diffuse-only lighting. Fast, no specular highlights.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
+  color: 0x00ff00,
+  emissive: 0x111111, // Self-illumination color
+  emissiveIntensity: 1,
+  map: texture,
+  emissiveMap: emissiveTexture,
+  envMap: envTexture,
+  reflectivity: 0.5,
+});
+```
+
+## MeshPhongMaterial
+
+Specular highlights. Good for shiny, plastic-like surfaces.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
+  color: 0x0000ff,
+  specular: 0xffffff, // Highlight color
+  shininess: 100, // Highlight sharpness (0-1000)
+  emissive: 0x000000,
+  flatShading: false, // Flat vs smooth shading
+  map: texture,
+  specularMap: specTexture, // Per-pixel shininess
+  normalMap: normalTexture,
+  normalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
+  bumpMap: bumpTexture,
+  bumpScale: 1,
+  displacementMap: dispTexture,
+  displacementScale: 1,
+});
+```
+
+## MeshStandardMaterial (PBR)
+
+Physically-based rendering. Recommended for realistic results.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
+  color: 0xffffff,
+  roughness: 0.5, // 0 = mirror, 1 = diffuse
+  metalness: 0.0, // 0 = dielectric, 1 = metal
+
+  // Textures
+  map: colorTexture, // Albedo/base color
+  roughnessMap: roughTexture, // Per-pixel roughness
+  metalnessMap: metalTexture, // Per-pixel metalness
+  normalMap: normalTexture, // Surface detail
+  normalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
+  aoMap: aoTexture, // Ambient occlusion (uses uv2!)
+  aoMapIntensity: 1,
+  displacementMap: dispTexture, // Vertex displacement
+  displacementScale: 0.1,
+  displacementBias: 0,
+
+  // Emissive
+  emissive: 0x000000,
+  emissiveIntensity: 1,
+  emissiveMap: emissiveTexture,
+
+  // Environment
+  envMap: envTexture,
+  envMapIntensity: 1,
+
+  // Other
+  flatShading: false,
+  wireframe: false,
+  fog: true,
+});
+
+// Note: aoMap requires second UV channel
+geometry.setAttribute("uv2", geometry.attributes.uv);
+```
+
+## MeshPhysicalMaterial (Advanced PBR)
+
+Extends MeshStandardMaterial with advanced features.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial({
+  // All MeshStandardMaterial properties plus:
+
+  // Clearcoat (car paint, lacquer)
+  clearcoat: 1.0, // 0-1 clearcoat layer strength
+  clearcoatRoughness: 0.1,
+  clearcoatMap: ccTexture,
+  clearcoatRoughnessMap: ccrTexture,
+  clearcoatNormalMap: ccnTexture,
+  clearcoatNormalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
+
+  // Transmission (glass, water)
+  transmission: 1.0, // 0 = opaque, 1 = fully transparent
+  transmissionMap: transTexture,
+  thickness: 0.5, // Volume thickness for refraction
+  thicknessMap: thickTexture,
+  attenuationDistance: 1, // Absorption distance
+  attenuationColor: new THREE.Color(0xffffff),
+
+  // Refraction
+  ior: 1.5, // Index of refraction (1-2.333)
+
+  // Sheen (fabric, velvet)
+  sheen: 1.0,
+  sheenRoughness: 0.5,
+  sheenColor: new THREE.Color(0xffffff),
+  sheenColorMap: sheenTexture,
+  sheenRoughnessMap: sheenRoughTexture,
+
+  // Iridescence (soap bubbles, oil slicks)
+  iridescence: 1.0,
+  iridescenceIOR: 1.3,
+  iridescenceThicknessRange: [100, 400],
+  iridescenceMap: iridTexture,
+  iridescenceThicknessMap: iridThickTexture,
+
+  // Anisotropy (brushed metal)
+  anisotropy: 1.0,
+  anisotropyRotation: 0,
+  anisotropyMap: anisoTexture,
+
+  // Specular
+  specularIntensity: 1,
+  specularColor: new THREE.Color(0xffffff),
+  specularIntensityMap: specIntTexture,
+  specularColorMap: specColorTexture,
+});
+```
+
+### Glass Material Example
+
+```javascript
+const glass = new THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial({
+  color: 0xffffff,
+  metalness: 0,
+  roughness: 0,
+  transmission: 1,
+  thickness: 0.5,
+  ior: 1.5,
+  envMapIntensity: 1,
+});
+```
+
+### Car Paint Example
+
+```javascript
+const carPaint = new THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial({
+  color: 0xff0000,
+  metalness: 0.9,
+  roughness: 0.5,
+  clearcoat: 1,
+  clearcoatRoughness: 0.1,
+});
+```
+
+## MeshToonMaterial
+
+Cel-shaded cartoon look.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshToonMaterial({
+  color: 0x00ff00,
+  gradientMap: gradientTexture, // Optional: custom shading gradient
+});
+
+// Create step gradient texture
+const colors = new Uint8Array([0, 128, 255]);
+const gradientMap = new THREE.DataTexture(colors, 3, 1, THREE.RedFormat);
+gradientMap.minFilter = THREE.NearestFilter;
+gradientMap.magFilter = THREE.NearestFilter;
+gradientMap.needsUpdate = true;
+```
+
+## MeshNormalMaterial
+
+Visualize surface normals. Useful for debugging.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial({
+  flatShading: false,
+  wireframe: false,
+});
+```
+
+## MeshDepthMaterial
+
+Render depth values. Used for shadow maps, DOF effects.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.MeshDepthMaterial({
+  depthPacking: THREE.RGBADepthPacking,
+});
+```
+
+## PointsMaterial
+
+For point clouds.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.PointsMaterial({
+  color: 0xffffff,
+  size: 0.1,
+  sizeAttenuation: true, // Scale with distance
+  map: pointTexture,
+  alphaMap: alphaTexture,
+  transparent: true,
+  alphaTest: 0.5, // Discard pixels below threshold
+  vertexColors: true, // Use per-vertex colors
+});
+
+const points = new THREE.Points(geometry, material);
+```
+
+## LineBasicMaterial & LineDashedMaterial
+
+```javascript
+// Solid lines
+const lineMaterial = new THREE.LineBasicMaterial({
+  color: 0xffffff,
+  linewidth: 1, // Note: >1 only works on some systems
+  linecap: "round",
+  linejoin: "round",
+});
+
+// Dashed lines
+const dashedMaterial = new THREE.LineDashedMaterial({
+  color: 0xffffff,
+  dashSize: 0.5,
+  gapSize: 0.25,
+  scale: 1,
+});
+
+// Required for dashed lines
+const line = new THREE.Line(geometry, dashedMaterial);
+line.computeLineDistances();
+```
+
+## ShaderMaterial
+
+Custom GLSL shaders with Three.js uniforms.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.ShaderMaterial({
+  uniforms: {
+    time: { value: 0 },
+    color: { value: new THREE.Color(0xff0000) },
+    texture1: { value: texture },
+  },
+  vertexShader: `
+    varying vec2 vUv;
+    uniform float time;
+
+    void main() {
+      vUv = uv;
+      vec3 pos = position;
+      pos.z += sin(pos.x * 10.0 + time) * 0.1;
+      gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(pos, 1.0);
+    }
+  `,
+  fragmentShader: `
+    varying vec2 vUv;
+    uniform vec3 color;
+    uniform sampler2D texture1;
+
+    void main() {
+      // Use texture2D() for GLSL 1.0, texture() for GLSL 3.0 (glslVersion: THREE.GLSL3)
+      vec4 texColor = texture2D(texture1, vUv);
+      gl_FragColor = vec4(color * texColor.rgb, 1.0);
+    }
+  `,
+  transparent: true,
+  side: THREE.DoubleSide,
+});
+
+// Update uniform in animation loop
+material.uniforms.time.value = clock.getElapsedTime();
+```
+
+### Built-in Uniforms (auto-provided)
+
+```glsl
+// Vertex shader
+uniform mat4 modelMatrix;         // Object to world
+uniform mat4 modelViewMatrix;     // Object to camera
+uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;    // Camera projection
+uniform mat4 viewMatrix;          // World to camera
+uniform mat3 normalMatrix;        // For transforming normals
+uniform vec3 cameraPosition;      // Camera world position
+
+// Attributes
+attribute vec3 position;
+attribute vec3 normal;
+attribute vec2 uv;
+```
+
+## RawShaderMaterial
+
+Full control - no built-in uniforms/attributes.
+
+```javascript
+const material = new THREE.RawShaderMaterial({
+  uniforms: {
+    projectionMatrix: { value: camera.projectionMatrix },
+    modelViewMatrix: { value: new THREE.Matrix4() },
+  },
+  vertexShader: `
+    precision highp float;
+    attribute vec3 position;
+    uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
+    uniform mat4 modelViewMatrix;
+
+    void main() {
+      gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(position, 1.0);
+    }
+  `,
+  fragmentShader: `
+    precision highp float;
+
+    void main() {
+      gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
+    }
+  `,
+});
+```
+
+## Common Material Properties
+
+All materials share these base properties:
+
+```javascript
+// Visibility
+material.visible = true;
+material.transparent = false;
+material.opacity = 1.0;
+material.alphaTest = 0; // Discard pixels with alpha < value
+
+// Rendering
+material.side = THREE.FrontSide; // FrontSide, BackSide, DoubleSide
+material.depthTest = true;
+material.depthWrite = true;
+material.colorWrite = true;
+
+// Blending
+material.blending = THREE.NormalBlending;
+// NormalBlending, AdditiveBlending, SubtractiveBlending, MultiplyBlending, CustomBlending
+
+// Stencil
+material.stencilWrite = false;
+material.stencilFunc = THREE.AlwaysStencilFunc;
+material.stencilRef = 0;
+material.stencilMask = 0xff;
+
+// Polygon offset (z-fighting fix)
+material.polygonOffset = false;
+material.polygonOffsetFactor = 0;
+material.polygonOffsetUnits = 0;
+
+// Misc
+material.dithering = false;
+material.toneMapped = true;
+```
+
+## Multiple Materials
+
+```javascript
+// Assign different materials to geometry groups
+const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(1, 1, 1);
+const materials = [
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0xff0000 }), // right
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 }), // left
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x0000ff }), // top
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0xffff00 }), // bottom
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0xff00ff }), // front
+  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ffff }), // back
+];
+const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, materials);
+
+// Custom groups
+geometry.clearGroups();
+geometry.addGroup(0, 6, 0); // start, count, materialIndex
+geometry.addGroup(6, 6, 1);
+```
+
+## Environment Maps
+
+```javascript
+// Load cube texture
+const cubeLoader = new THREE.CubeTextureLoader();
+const envMap = cubeLoader.load([
+  "px.jpg",
+  "nx.jpg", // positive/negative X
+  "py.jpg",
+  "ny.jpg", // positive/negative Y
+  "pz.jpg",
+  "nz.jpg", // positive/negative Z
+]);
+
+// Apply to material
+material.envMap = envMap;
+material.envMapIntensity = 1;
+
+// Or set as scene environment (affects all PBR materials)
+scene.environment = envMap;
+
+// HDR environment (recommended)
+import { RGBELoader } from "three/examples/jsm/loaders/RGBELoader.js";
+const rgbeLoader = new RGBELoader();
+rgbeLoader.load("environment.hdr", (texture) => {
+  texture.mapping = THREE.EquirectangularReflectionMapping;
+  scene.environment = texture;
+  scene.background = texture;
+});
+```
+
+## Material Cloning and Modification
+
+```javascript
+// Clone material
+const clone = material.clone();
+clone.color.set(0x00ff00);
+
+// Modify at runtime
+material.color.set(0xff0000);
+material.needsUpdate = true; // Only needed for some changes
+
+// When needsUpdate is required:
+// - Changing flat shading
+// - Changing texture
+// - Changing transparent
+// - Custom shader code changes
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Reuse materials**: Same material = batched draw calls
+2. **Avoid transparent when possible**: Transparent materials require sorting
+3. **Use alphaTest instead of transparency**: When applicable, faster
+4. **Choose simpler materials**: Basic > Lambert > Phong > Standard > Physical
+5. **Limit active lights**: Each light adds shader complexity
+
+```javascript
+// Material pooling
+const materialCache = new Map();
+function getMaterial(color) {
+  const key = color.toString(16);
+  if (!materialCache.has(key)) {
+    materialCache.set(key, new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color }));
+  }
+  return materialCache.get(key);
+}
+
+// Dispose when done
+material.dispose();
+```
