CesiumJS CustomShader

Version baseline: CesiumJS 1.143. All imports use ES module style.

CustomShader injects user GLSL into the Model / Cesium3DTileset / VoxelPrimitive rendering pipeline. It exposes glTF attributes, feature IDs, and EXT_structural_metadata to per-vertex and per-fragment code, and returns values through the built-in czm_modelVertexOutput and czm_modelMaterial structs.

Use this skill for writing the shader body. Use:

cesiumjs-materials-shaders — for Fabric Material, ImageBasedLighting, PostProcessStage (bloom, SSAO, FXAA, tonemapping).
cesiumjs-3d-tiles — for declarative per-feature coloring via Cesium3DTileStyle, and for VoxelPrimitive setup/configuration.
cesiumjs-models-particles — for Model.fromGltfAsync, animations, ModelFeature.getProperty().

Out of scope

Fabric Material for entity polylines/polygons/walls — see cesiumjs-materials-shaders.
PostProcessStage screen-space effects — see cesiumjs-materials-shaders.
ImageBasedLighting — see cesiumjs-materials-shaders.
Cesium3DTileStyle declarative JSON styling — see cesiumjs-3d-tiles. Do not combine with CustomShader on the same tileset.
Authoring EXT_structural_metadata / EXT_mesh_features in glTF — tooling concern, not runtime.

Minimal example

import { CustomShader, Model } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      material.diffuse = vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
      material.alpha = 0.8;
    }
  `,
});

const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({ url: "./aircraft.glb", customShader: shader });
viewer.scene.primitives.add(model);

Applying a CustomShader

Model — constructor option or mutable property:

const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({ url, customShader });
model.customShader = newShader;     // hot-swap
model.customShader = undefined;     // clear

Cesium3DTileset — constructor option or mutable property. Only Model-backed tile content is affected (not native I3S or other formats):

const tileset = await Cesium3DTileset.fromUrl(url, { customShader });
tileset.customShader = newShader;

Per the Cesium3DTileset.customShader JSDoc: "Using custom shaders with a Cesium3DTileStyle may lead to undefined behavior." The property is also marked @experimental — it uses 3D Tiles spec surface that is not final and may change without Cesium's standard deprecation policy.

VoxelPrimitive — fragment-only subset (see "VoxelPrimitive shader subset" below):

const voxelPrimitive = new VoxelPrimitive({ provider, customShader });

The engine calls customShader.update(frameState) automatically each frame. When finished with a CustomShader, call customShader.destroy() to release GPU texture resources owned by its TextureManager.

Constructor reference

new CustomShader({
  mode,                  // CustomShaderMode — default MODIFY_MATERIAL
  lightingModel,         // LightingModel — if omitted, model's default is preserved
  translucencyMode,      // CustomShaderTranslucencyMode — default INHERIT
  uniforms,              // { [name]: { type: UniformType, value } } — default {}
  varyings,              // { [name]: VaryingType } — default {}
  vertexShaderText,      // string or undefined
  fragmentShaderText,    // string or undefined
});

Either vertexShaderText or fragmentShaderText is typically required. See REFERENCE.md for exhaustive enum values.

Shader function signatures

The runtime calls these from generated pipeline stages. Parameter names are part of the contract — renaming them breaks the shader.

void vertexMain(VertexInput vsInput, inout czm_modelVertexOutput vsOutput) { ... }
void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) { ... }

Uniforms

Declare uniforms with { type, value }. The type is a UniformType value; the JS value type must match (e.g. VEC3 → Cartesian3). Uniforms are accessible in GLSL by their declared name.

import { CustomShader, UniformType, TextureUniform, Cartesian3 } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  uniforms: {
    u_tint:   { type: UniformType.VEC3,      value: new Cartesian3(1.0, 0.5, 0.2) },
    u_time:   { type: UniformType.FLOAT,     value: 0.0 },
    u_detail: { type: UniformType.SAMPLER_2D, value: new TextureUniform({ url: "./detail.png", repeat: true }) },
  },
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      vec3 d = texture(u_detail, fsInput.attributes.texCoord_0).rgb;
      material.diffuse = mix(material.diffuse, u_tint, d.r + 0.1 * sin(u_time));
    }
  `,
});

// Update at runtime. For Cartesian/Matrix values, setUniform clones into existing storage.
shader.setUniform("u_time", performance.now() / 1000);

TextureUniform accepts either url (string or Resource) or typedArray + width + height — exactly one (constructor throws otherwise). Other options: repeat (default true), pixelFormat, pixelDatatype, minificationFilter, magnificationFilter, maximumAnisotropy.

SAMPLER_CUBE is declared on UniformType but rejected at construction — throws DeveloperError("CustomShader does not support samplerCube uniforms"). Only SAMPLER_2D is supported.

Varyings

Declared varyings are emitted as out <type> <name> in the vertex shader and in <type> <name> in the fragment shader. Write in vertex, read in fragment.

import { CustomShader, VaryingType } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  varyings: { v_worldHeight: VaryingType.FLOAT },
  vertexShaderText: `
    void vertexMain(VertexInput vsInput, inout czm_modelVertexOutput vsOutput) {
      v_worldHeight = vsInput.attributes.positionMC.z;
    }
  `,
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      float t = clamp(v_worldHeight / 100.0, 0.0, 1.0);
      material.diffuse = mix(vec3(0.2,0.4,0.8), vec3(1.0,0.8,0.2), t);
    }
  `,
});

VaryingType supports FLOAT, VEC2–VEC4, MAT2–MAT4. No INT/BOOL/SAMPLER variants.

Modes & lighting

CustomShaderMode:

MODIFY_MATERIAL (default) — runs after the material stage, before lighting. czm_modelMaterial is populated with PBR/texture results; the shader refines them.
REPLACE_MATERIAL — skips the material stage entirely. Shader sets every field procedurally. Cheaper when the source material is not needed.

LightingModel:

UNLIT — skip lighting; material.diffuse becomes the final color (alpha still applied). Flat-shaded.
PBR — physically-based with IBL when available.
Omitted — preserves the model's default lighting. Omit unless overriding intentionally.

Pair REPLACE_MATERIAL + UNLIT for pure procedural flat shading (no material sampling, no lighting).

Translucency

CustomShaderTranslucencyMode governs how alpha writes interact with the render pass:

INHERIT (default) — alpha is only honored if the source material is translucent.
OPAQUE — force opaque pass.
TRANSLUCENT — force translucent pass.

Pitfall: writing material.alpha on an opaque model with INHERIT silently does nothing. Set translucencyMode: CustomShaderTranslucencyMode.TRANSLUCENT to make alpha writes effective. See examples/04-translucent-override.js.

Attributes

vsInput.attributes and fsInput.attributes expose glTF vertex attributes. Names are case-sensitive and coordinate-space suffixes are required — the constructor rejects bare position/normal/tangent/bitangent.

Common fields (full table in REFERENCE.md):

positionMC — model coords, valid in VS and FS
positionWC — world (ECEF) coords, fragment only, low-precision
positionEC — eye coords, fragment only
normalMC / normalEC — vertex / fragment
tangentMC / tangentEC, bitangentMC / bitangentEC
texCoord_N, color_N, joints_N, weights_N

Coordinate-space validation. The constructor scans shader text and throws DeveloperError("<name> is not available in the <stage> shader. Did you mean <alt> instead?") for invalid combinations. Examples: positionEC in vertex, normalMC in fragment.

Custom underscore-prefixed glTF attributes (_FEATURE_ID_0, _SURFACE_TEMP) are lowercased and un-prefixed: fsInput.attributes.surface_temp.

FeatureIds

vsInput.featureIds / fsInput.featureIds unify three glTF sources into one struct:

featureId_N — feature ID attributes and implicit attributes from EXT_mesh_features (N is the array index in the primitive's featureIds array). Also covers feature ID textures, which are fragment-shader-only.
instanceFeatureId_N — per-instance feature IDs from EXT_instance_features + EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing.
Named aliases — if glTF specifies "label": "perVertex", then featureIds.perVertex is also available.
Legacy 3D Tiles 1.0 BATCH_ID / _BATCHID → transparently renamed to featureId_0.

GLSL type is always int. WebGL 1 loses precision above 2^24.

void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
  int id = fsInput.featureIds.featureId_0;
  if (id == 0)      material.diffuse = vec3(1.0, 0.2, 0.2);  // roof
  else if (id == 1) material.diffuse = vec3(0.2, 0.8, 0.2);  // wall
}

See examples/03-feature-id-tileset.js.

Metadata

EXT_structural_metadata surfaces three source types (all addressable from shaders as of 1.139):

Property attributes — per-vertex. Vertex and fragment shaders.
Property textures — per-texel. Fragment only.
Property tables — per-feature, keyed by feature ID. Added in 1.139 (#13124).

void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
  float t = fsInput.metadata.temperature;
  float tMin = fsInput.metadataStatistics.temperature.minValue;
  float tMax = fsInput.metadataStatistics.temperature.maxValue;
  float v = (t - tMin) / (tMax - tMin);
  material.diffuse = vec3(v, 0.0, 1.0 - v);
}

Property ID sanitization (GLSL identifier rules):

Non-alphanumeric runs → single _ (temperature ℃ → temperature_)
Leading gl_ stripped (gl_custom → custom)
Leading digit prefixed with _ (12345 → _12345)
Post-sanitization collisions → undefined behavior

1.139 breaking change (#13135): unsigned integer metadata is no longer cast to signed int. Assigning a UINT property to a GLSL int (int x = fsInput.metadata.myUint;) no longer compiles. Use the matching unsigned type.

Public assets without EXT_structural_metadata on a .glb are scarce — most real-world metadata lives on 3D Tiles. See examples/06-metadata-ramp.js (Cesium3DTileset target).

czm_modelVertexOutput & czm_modelMaterial

czm_modelVertexOutput (vertex shader's inout vsOutput):

struct czm_modelVertexOutput {
  vec3 positionMC;    // initialized to vsInput.attributes.positionMC
  float pointSize;    // overrides gl_PointSize and Cesium3DTileStyle point sizing
};

Gotcha: mutating positionMC displaces vertices but does not update the primitive's bounding sphere. Heavily displaced vertices can be frustum-culled.

# CesiumJS CustomShader

Version baseline: CesiumJS 1.143. All imports use ES module style.

`CustomShader` injects user GLSL into the `Model` / `Cesium3DTileset` / `VoxelPrimitive` rendering pipeline. It exposes glTF attributes, feature IDs, and `EXT_structural_metadata` to per-vertex and per-fragment code, and returns values through the built-in `czm_modelVertexOutput` and `czm_modelMaterial` structs.

Use this skill for **writing the shader body**. Use:
- `cesiumjs-materials-shaders` — for Fabric `Material`, `ImageBasedLighting`, `PostProcessStage` (bloom, SSAO, FXAA, tonemapping).
- `cesiumjs-3d-tiles` — for declarative per-feature coloring via `Cesium3DTileStyle`, and for `VoxelPrimitive` setup/configuration.
- `cesiumjs-models-particles` — for `Model.fromGltfAsync`, animations, `ModelFeature.getProperty()`.

## Out of scope

- **Fabric `Material`** for entity polylines/polygons/walls — see `cesiumjs-materials-shaders`.
- **`PostProcessStage`** screen-space effects — see `cesiumjs-materials-shaders`.
- **`ImageBasedLighting`** — see `cesiumjs-materials-shaders`.
- **`Cesium3DTileStyle`** declarative JSON styling — see `cesiumjs-3d-tiles`. **Do not combine with CustomShader on the same tileset.**
- **Authoring `EXT_structural_metadata` / `EXT_mesh_features` in glTF** — tooling concern, not runtime.

## Minimal example

```js
import { CustomShader, Model } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      material.diffuse = vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
      material.alpha = 0.8;
    }
  `,
});

const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({ url: "./aircraft.glb", customShader: shader });
viewer.scene.primitives.add(model);
```

## Applying a CustomShader

**Model** — constructor option or mutable property:

```js
const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({ url, customShader });
model.customShader = newShader;     // hot-swap
model.customShader = undefined;     // clear
```

**Cesium3DTileset** — constructor option or mutable property. Only `Model`-backed tile content is affected (not native I3S or other formats):

```js
const tileset = await Cesium3DTileset.fromUrl(url, { customShader });
tileset.customShader = newShader;
```

> Per the `Cesium3DTileset.customShader` JSDoc: *"Using custom shaders with a `Cesium3DTileStyle` may lead to undefined behavior."* The property is also marked `@experimental` — it uses 3D Tiles spec surface that is not final and may change without Cesium's standard deprecation policy.

**VoxelPrimitive** — fragment-only subset (see "VoxelPrimitive shader subset" below):

```js
const voxelPrimitive = new VoxelPrimitive({ provider, customShader });
```

The engine calls `customShader.update(frameState)` automatically each frame. When finished with a CustomShader, call `customShader.destroy()` to release GPU texture resources owned by its `TextureManager`.

## Constructor reference

```js
new CustomShader({
  mode,                  // CustomShaderMode — default MODIFY_MATERIAL
  lightingModel,         // LightingModel — if omitted, model's default is preserved
  translucencyMode,      // CustomShaderTranslucencyMode — default INHERIT
  uniforms,              // { [name]: { type: UniformType, value } } — default {}
  varyings,              // { [name]: VaryingType } — default {}
  vertexShaderText,      // string or undefined
  fragmentShaderText,    // string or undefined
});
```

Either `vertexShaderText` or `fragmentShaderText` is typically required. See `REFERENCE.md` for exhaustive enum values.

## Shader function signatures

The runtime calls these from generated pipeline stages. Parameter names are part of the contract — renaming them breaks the shader.

```glsl
void vertexMain(VertexInput vsInput, inout czm_modelVertexOutput vsOutput) { ... }
void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) { ... }
```

## Uniforms

Declare uniforms with `{ type, value }`. The type is a `UniformType` value; the JS value type must match (e.g. `VEC3` → `Cartesian3`). Uniforms are accessible in GLSL by their declared name.

```js
import { CustomShader, UniformType, TextureUniform, Cartesian3 } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  uniforms: {
    u_tint:   { type: UniformType.VEC3,      value: new Cartesian3(1.0, 0.5, 0.2) },
    u_time:   { type: UniformType.FLOAT,     value: 0.0 },
    u_detail: { type: UniformType.SAMPLER_2D, value: new TextureUniform({ url: "./detail.png", repeat: true }) },
  },
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      vec3 d = texture(u_detail, fsInput.attributes.texCoord_0).rgb;
      material.diffuse = mix(material.diffuse, u_tint, d.r + 0.1 * sin(u_time));
    }
  `,
});

// Update at runtime. For Cartesian/Matrix values, setUniform clones into existing storage.
shader.setUniform("u_time", performance.now() / 1000);
```

`TextureUniform` accepts either `url` (string or `Resource`) or `typedArray` + `width` + `height` — **exactly one** (constructor throws otherwise). Other options: `repeat` (default `true`), `pixelFormat`, `pixelDatatype`, `minificationFilter`, `magnificationFilter`, `maximumAnisotropy`.

**`SAMPLER_CUBE` is declared on `UniformType` but rejected at construction** — throws `DeveloperError("CustomShader does not support samplerCube uniforms")`. Only `SAMPLER_2D` is supported.

## Varyings

Declared varyings are emitted as `out <type> <name>` in the vertex shader and `in <type> <name>` in the fragment shader. Write in vertex, read in fragment.

```js
import { CustomShader, VaryingType } from "cesium";

const shader = new CustomShader({
  varyings: { v_worldHeight: VaryingType.FLOAT },
  vertexShaderText: `
    void vertexMain(VertexInput vsInput, inout czm_modelVertexOutput vsOutput) {
      v_worldHeight = vsInput.attributes.positionMC.z;
    }
  `,
  fragmentShaderText: `
    void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
      float t = clamp(v_worldHeight / 100.0, 0.0, 1.0);
      material.diffuse = mix(vec3(0.2,0.4,0.8), vec3(1.0,0.8,0.2), t);
    }
  `,
});
```

`VaryingType` supports `FLOAT`, `VEC2`–`VEC4`, `MAT2`–`MAT4`. No `INT`/`BOOL`/`SAMPLER` variants.

## Modes & lighting

**`CustomShaderMode`:**
- `MODIFY_MATERIAL` (default) — runs after the material stage, before lighting. `czm_modelMaterial` is populated with PBR/texture results; the shader refines them.
- `REPLACE_MATERIAL` — skips the material stage entirely. Shader sets every field procedurally. Cheaper when the source material is not needed.

**`LightingModel`:**
- `UNLIT` — skip lighting; `material.diffuse` becomes the final color (alpha still applied). Flat-shaded.
- `PBR` — physically-based with IBL when available.
- *Omitted* — preserves the model's default lighting. Omit unless overriding intentionally.

Pair `REPLACE_MATERIAL` + `UNLIT` for pure procedural flat shading (no material sampling, no lighting).

## Translucency

`CustomShaderTranslucencyMode` governs how alpha writes interact with the render pass:

- `INHERIT` (default) — alpha is only honored if the source material is translucent.
- `OPAQUE` — force opaque pass.
- `TRANSLUCENT` — force translucent pass.

**Pitfall:** writing `material.alpha` on an opaque model with `INHERIT` silently does nothing. Set `translucencyMode: CustomShaderTranslucencyMode.TRANSLUCENT` to make alpha writes effective. See `examples/04-translucent-override.js`.

## Attributes

`vsInput.attributes` and `fsInput.attributes` expose glTF vertex attributes. Names are case-sensitive and coordinate-space suffixes are required — the constructor rejects bare `position`/`normal`/`tangent`/`bitangent`.

Common fields (full table in `REFERENCE.md`):
- `positionMC` — model coords, valid in VS and FS
- `positionWC` — world (ECEF) coords, **fragment only**, low-precision
- `positionEC` — eye coords, **fragment only**
- `normalMC` / `normalEC` — vertex / fragment
- `tangentMC` / `tangentEC`, `bitangentMC` / `bitangentEC`
- `texCoord_N`, `color_N`, `joints_N`, `weights_N`

> **Coordinate-space validation.** The constructor scans shader text and throws `DeveloperError("<name> is not available in the <stage> shader. Did you mean <alt> instead?")` for invalid combinations. Examples: `positionEC` in vertex, `normalMC` in fragment.

Custom underscore-prefixed glTF attributes (`_FEATURE_ID_0`, `_SURFACE_TEMP`) are lowercased and un-prefixed: `fsInput.attributes.surface_temp`.

## FeatureIds

`vsInput.featureIds` / `fsInput.featureIds` unify three glTF sources into one struct:

- `featureId_N` — feature ID attributes and implicit attributes from `EXT_mesh_features` (N is the array index in the primitive's `featureIds` array). Also covers feature ID **textures**, which are fragment-shader-only.
- `instanceFeatureId_N` — per-instance feature IDs from `EXT_instance_features` + `EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing`.
- Named aliases — if glTF specifies `"label": "perVertex"`, then `featureIds.perVertex` is also available.
- Legacy 3D Tiles 1.0 `BATCH_ID` / `_BATCHID` → transparently renamed to `featureId_0`.

GLSL type is always `int`. WebGL 1 loses precision above 2^24.

```glsl
void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
  int id = fsInput.featureIds.featureId_0;
  if (id == 0)      material.diffuse = vec3(1.0, 0.2, 0.2);  // roof
  else if (id == 1) material.diffuse = vec3(0.2, 0.8, 0.2);  // wall
}
```

See `examples/03-feature-id-tileset.js`.

## Metadata

`EXT_structural_metadata` surfaces three source types (all addressable from shaders as of 1.139):

- **Property attributes** — per-vertex. Vertex and fragment shaders.
- **Property textures** — per-texel. **Fragment only.**
- **Property tables** — per-feature, keyed by feature ID. **Added in 1.139 (#13124).**

```glsl
void fragmentMain(FragmentInput fsInput, inout czm_modelMaterial material) {
  float t = fsInput.metadata.temperature;
  float tMin = fsInput.metadataStatistics.temperature.minValue;
  float tMax = fsInput.metadataStatistics.temperature.maxValue;
  float v = (t - tMin) / (tMax - tMin);
  material.diffuse = vec3(v, 0.0, 1.0 - v);
}
```

**Property ID sanitization** (GLSL identifier rules):
- Non-alphanumeric runs → single `_` (`temperature ℃` → `temperature_`)
- Leading `gl_` stripped (`gl_custom` → `custom`)
- Leading digit prefixed with `_` (`12345` → `_12345`)
- Post-sanitization collisions → undefined behavior

**Sibling structs:** `metadataClass.<prop>.noData | defaultValue | minValue | maxValue` (class-schema bounds) and `metadataStatistics.<prop>.minValue | maxValue | mean | median | standardDeviation | variance | sum` (populated only when `tileset.json` declares `statistics`).

> **1.139 breaking change (#13135):** unsigned integer metadata is no longer cast to signed int. Assigning a `UINT` property to a GLSL `int` (`int x = fsInput.metadata.myUint;`) no longer compiles. Use the matching unsigned type.

**Public assets without `EXT_structural_metadata` on a `.glb` are scarce** — most real-world metadata lives on 3D Tiles. See `examples/06-metadata-ramp.js` (Cesium3DTileset target).

## czm_modelVertexOutput & czm_modelMaterial

**`czm_modelVertexOutput`** (vertex shader's `inout vsOutput`):
```glsl
struct czm_modelVertexOutput {
  vec3 positionMC;    // initialized to vsInput.attributes.positionMC
  float pointSize;    // overrides gl_PointSize and Cesium3DTileStyle point sizing
};
```

> **Gotcha:** mutating `positionMC` displaces vertices but does **not** update the primitive's bounding sphere. Heavily displaced vertices can be frustum-culled.
