# init(name:semantic:textureSampler:)

Initializes a material property with a texture sampler object.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(name: String, semantic: MDLMaterialSemantic, textureSampler: MDLTextureSampler?)
```

## Parameters

- `name`: A descriptive name for the material property. For details, see the doc://com.apple.modelio/documentation/ModelIO/MDLMaterialProperty/name property.
- `semantic`: The semantic meaning for the material property’s value. For details, see the doc://com.apple.modelio/documentation/ModelIO/MDLMaterialProperty/semantic property.
- `textureSampler`: A texture sampler object.

## Return Value

Return Value A new material property object whose type property is MDLMaterialPropertyType.texture.

## Discussion

Discussion Unlike the URL to a texture image, a texture sampler object specifies both a texture image and parameters for rendering that image.
