# Debug materials and shaders (MatCap mode)
|
|
|
|
In MatCap mode, the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) replaces the functionality of the Scene view's Lighting button with a material capture (MatCap) view. MatCap mode uses an image that completely captures a Material, including baked-in lighting. When using MatCap mode, HDRP replaces all the Materials and lighting in the Scene with what's in the MatCap.
|
|
|
|
MatCap mode is useful to navigate and get a sense of the Scene without setting up the Scene lighting. For example, if you were to edit a dark area, like the inside of a cave, MatCap mode makes it much easier to navigate in this low lighting.
|
|
|
|
## Using MatCap
|
|
|
|
To activate MatCap mode, disable the Lighting toggle in the Scene view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MatCap mode preserves the normal maps and you can use the original Material albedo. To configure MatCap mode, go to **Edit** > **Preferences** > **HD Render Pipeline** and use the following properties.
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
1. Open the **Graphics** tab in the **Preferences** window (menu: **Edit > Preferences > Graphics**).
|
|
2. Under **High Definition Render Pipeline** and **MatCap Mode**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| **Property** | **Description** |
|
|
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| **Mix Albedo** | Enable to make HDRP mix the albedo of the Material with its material capture. |
|
|
| **Intensity Scale** | Set the intensity of the material capture. This increases the brightness of the Scene. This is useful if the albedo darkens the Scene considerably. |
|
|
|
|
## Default material captures
|
|
|
|
HDRP provides neutral and metallic default MatCaps. You can change the MatCap in your [HDRP Asset's](HDRP-Asset.md) **HDRenderPipelineResources**. To do this:
|
|
|
|
1. Select the HDRP Asset in the Project window to view it in the Inspector.
|
|
2. Enter [Debug mode](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/InspectorOptions.html) then find the **Render Pipeline Resources** property.
|
|
3. Double-click the asset assigned to the **Render Pipeline Resources** property to view it in the Inspector.
|
|
4. Go to the **Textures** section and assign your custom MatCap Texture to the **MatCap Tex** property.
|
|
|
|
You can also activate MatCap view as a **Lighting Debug Mode** in the [Rendering Debugger](use-the-rendering-debugger.md).
