AFA_Materials
Generic world materials and material functions used by example content and the hologram effect.
What it gives you
- Ready-made metal, plastic, glass, glow and transparent materials
- Reusable material functions
- A hologram material for previews

Description
A library of generic materials so example and prototype content looks presentable without authoring shaders. Metal, plastic, glass, glow and transparent variants, plus material functions for depth fade, fresnel, linear masks, opacity, pulse, sinus panning, size and vertical gradient opacity.
The hologram material is used by preview and ghost effects.
Setup
- Enable
AFA_Materials. - Assign the
M_Generic_*materials to meshes, or use theMF_*functions in your own materials.
Usage
Use the generic materials for greyboxing and prototype content. The material functions are the more durable part of this plugin — MF_Fresnel and MF_DepthFade in particular appear throughout the framework's own effects.
Key properties
| Property | When to change |
|---|---|
| Material instance parameters | Create instances rather than editing the parent materials |
Extending
Create material instances in your own content; use the MF_* functions in your own material graphs.
Example map
Used across the example maps for props and greybox geometry.
Troubleshooting
The hologram material does not fade with distance. It relies on Mobile HDR being enabled, which AFM_Teleport sets.
API reference
This plugin ships assets rather than blueprint classes, so it has no blueprint API. See the Description and Usage sections above.
