semantic

Declaration

var semantic: MDLMaterialSemantic { get set }

Discussion

A material semantic determines how the material property’s value should be interpreted to produce a specific surface appearance in rendering. For example, the MDLMaterialSemantic.baseColor semantic defines the default color of each pixel on a rendered surface before shading effects are applied.

When Model I/O loads materials from an MDLAsset object, it automatically selects the appropriate standard semantics for the surface rendering descriptions in the asset file.
