# Materials The meshes generated in //MASON are designed to work with world-aligned textures. This ensures tiling as long as the base textures in the materials are seamless. \ \ //MASON includes 2 material types. Type 1: Grid This has two layers to it and allows you to dynamically change the color of the material through instancing. Meaning 2 textures are in use, that being the grid and the text overlay. Type 2: Master This material is a little more complicated than the grid but through instancing it can be a breeze. \ This material uses ARD.\ \ Meaning 3 textures are in use 1. Albedo: This is the color data of the material 2. Normal: This is the a regular normal map 3. ARD 1. A: Red channel of the image - Used for AO 2. R: Green channel of the image - Used for Roughness 3. D: Blue channel of the image - Used for Displacement. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
