UnlitMaterial

Unlit material rendered without lighting.

Renders surfaces using a uniform color or texture without applying any illumination or shading. Useful for UI elements, overlays, debug geometry, or stylized effects where lighting is not desired. Transparency is supported through the alpha channel of the texture or a separate alpha map.

auto material = vglx::UnlitMaterial::Create(0xFFFFFF);
material->texture_map = texture;

my_scene->Add(vglx::Mesh::Create(geometry, material));
