Question by MichealIkruhara · Sep 13, 2016 at 06:03 AM · scripting problemmaterials

How to create new materials at runtime?

I've read that this is possible, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Can someone explain to me how this works?

I've created a tutorial on YouTube that covers creating a material using a custom image and applying it to a gameObject at run time. Or you can use the Unity documentation :)

Have you read the docs? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material-ctor.html

There's a constructor where you pass in the shader that should be used by the material. e.g.

  Material mat = new Material(Shader.Find("Specular"));

Hi,

I do use this function to create temp mats in making my game. but it looks like it doesn't render in until I click on the material which is attached to the game object I attached it to. I successfully creates the new material as the name appears but the render doesn't happen. Can you be able to help me with this? Also I am using URP.
