This article explains the settings and values for the Corona Data shader.


Overview

The Corona Data shader allows for the output of various data channels and is intended mainly for debugging purposes.

This can also be used to create some interesting effects; for example, coloring objects based on their primitive ID, instance ID, material ID, or their viewport wire color.
