};

KHR_materials_transmission and volume. The runtime draws what a transmissive part shows through it at half the drawing buffer's resolution or less, on every tier (spec Appendix B.4, X17); apps write no transmission setting. A transmissive part, like a 'blend' one, casts a solid shadow unless its shadows.cast is false.

Default:

Fields ​

factor ​

ts
factor?: number;

0..1; 0 is opaque to light.

Default: 0

thickness ​

ts
thickness?: number;

Metres of volume, for refraction.

Default: 0 (thin-walled)

attenuationColor ​

ts
attenuationColor?: ColorValue;

The colour light takes on at attenuationDistance.

Default: '#ffffff'

attenuationDistance ​

ts
attenuationDistance?: number;

Metres, finite: Infinity is invalid input, since look state is canonical JSON (spec section 3.4). To turn a GLB's or an earlier write's attenuation off, write attenuationColor: '#ffffff': white absorbs nothing (KHR_materials_volume).

Default: unset, no attenuation (glTF's Infinity)

Generic-API test (spec 3.1) ​

Rule Result
1. Neutral name pass: transmission names no product
2. A precedent pass (through its owner MaterialSpec): glTF 2.0 metallic-roughness material (row K10); glTF KHR_materials_sheen (row K10); glTF KHR_materials_transmission (row K10); glTF KHR_materials_unlit (row K10)
3. Two apps, or labs pass: 28 apps (ledger: app-04c2774145, app-0c773a4ee3, app-37356bf09f, app-378d190f1b, app-4762caacdc, app-4f16d2f6da, app-4fd23bc869, app-510d750508 and 20 more; fleet cross-check: app-fc07850558)
4. The cheaper fix first decided per need in Appendix B: rows K10 (through its owner MaterialSpec) at tier stable (a member only where no rule, data, asset or app code serves the need)
