# Three.js Materials
## Quick Start
```javascript
import * as THREE from "three";
// PBR material (recommended for realistic rendering)
const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
color: 0x00ff00,
roughness: 0.5,
metalness: 0.5,
});
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
```
## Material Types Overview

| MeshLambertMaterial | Matte surfaces, performance | Yes (diffuse only) |
| MeshPhongMaterial | Shiny surfaces, specular highlights | Yes |
| MeshStandardMaterial | PBR, realistic materials | Yes (PBR) |
| MeshPhysicalMaterial | Advanced PBR, clearcoat, transmission | Yes (PBR+) |
| MeshToonMaterial | Cel-shaded, cartoon look | Yes (toon) |
| MeshNormalMaterial | Debug normals | No |
| MeshDepthMaterial | Depth visualization | No |
| ShaderMaterial | Custom GLSL shaders | Custom |
| RawShaderMaterial | Full shader control | Custom |
