Example:
materials.push( new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( { color: 0xdddddd, specular: 0x009900, shininess: 30, shading: THREE.FlatShading } ) );

See the base [page:Material] class for common parameters.

Diffuse color of the material. Default is white.

Emissive (light) color of the material, essentially a solid color unaffected by other lighting. Default is black.

Specular color of the material, i.e., how shiny the material is and the color of its shine. Setting this the same color as the diffuse value (times some intensity) makes the material more metallic-looking; setting this to some gray makes the material look more plastic. Default is dark gray.

How shiny the specular highlight is; a higher value gives a sharper highlight. Default is *30*. It should not be set to 0.

If set to true the shader multiplies the specular highlight by the underlying color of the object, making it appear to be more metal-like and darker. If set to false the specular highlight is added ontop of the underlying colors.

Define whether the diffuse lighting wraps around the model or not. This option adds a little more (tintable) light onto the side of the object in relation to a light.

Decide how much of the wrap around values get used if the wrapAround option is set. The x, y, z values correspond to the r, g, b values respectively. The typical range is of each is from 0 to 1. For example setting all of the vector values to 0.5 will add a moderate amount of light to the side of the model. Changing *b* to 1 will tint the light on the side to be more blue. Defaults to (1,1,1).

Set color texture map. Default is null.

Set light map. Default is null.

The texture to create a bump map. The black and white values map to the perceived depth in relation to the lights. Bump doesn't actually affect the geometry of the object, only the lighting. If a normal map is defined this will be ignored.

How much the bump map affects the material. Typical ranges are 0-1. Default is 1.

The texture to create a normal map. The RGB values affect the surface normal for each pixel fragment and change the way the color is lit. Normal maps do not change the actual shape of the surface, only the lighting.

How much the normal map affects the material. Typical ranges are 0-1. Default is (1,1).

The specular map value affects both how much the specular surface highlight contributes and how much of the environment map affects the surface. Default is null.

The alpha map is a grayscale texture that controls the opacity across the surface (black: fully transparent; white: fully opaque). Default is null.

Only the color of the texture is used, ignoring the alpha channel if one exists. For RGB and RGBA textures, the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer will use the green channel when sampling this texture due to the extra bit of precision provided for green in DXT-compressed and uncompressed RGB 565 formats. Luminance-only and luminance/alpha textures will also still work as expected.

Set env map. Default is null.

How to combine the result of the surface's color with the environment map, if any.

Options are [page:Textures THREE.MultiplyOperation] (default), [page:Textures THREE.MixOperation], [page:Textures THREE.AddOperation]. If mix is chosen, the reflectivity is used to blend between the two colors.

How much the environment map affects the surface; also see "combine".

The index of refraction for an environment map using [page:Textures THREE.CubeRefractionMapping]. Default is *0.98*.

Define whether the material color is affected by global fog settings. Default is *true*.

This setting might not have any effect when used with certain renderers. For example, it is ignored with the [page:CanvasRenderer Canvas] renderer, but does work with the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer.

How the triangles of a curved surface are rendered: as a smooth surface, as flat separate facets, or no shading at all.

Options are [page:Materials THREE.SmoothShading] (default), [page:Materials THREE.FlatShading], [page:Materials THREE.NoShading].

Whether the triangles' edges are displayed instead of surfaces. Default is *false*.

Line thickness for wireframe mode. Default is *1.0*.

Due to limitations in the ANGLE layer, on Windows platforms linewidth will always be 1 regardless of the set value.

Define appearance of line ends. Possible values are "butt", "round" and "square". Default is 'round'.

This setting might not have any effect when used with certain renderers. For example, it is ignored with the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer, but does work with the [page:CanvasRenderer Canvas] renderer.

Define appearance of line joints. Possible values are "round", "bevel" and "miter". Default is 'round'.

This setting might not have any effect when used with certain renderers. For example, it is ignored with the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer, but does work with the [page:CanvasRenderer Canvas] renderer.

Define how the vertices gets colored. Possible values are THREE.NoColors, THREE.FaceColors and THREE.VertexColors. Default is THREE.NoColors.

This setting might not have any effect when used with certain renderers. For example, it is ignored with the [page:CanvasRenderer Canvas] renderer, but does work with the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer.

Define whether the material uses skinning. Default is *false*.

Define whether the material uses morphTargets. Default is *false*.

Defines whether the material uses morphNormals. Set as true to pass morphNormal attributes from the [page:Geometry] to the shader. Default is *false*.
