# Spline material properties (Monowire)

Materials for colouring splines (e.g. monowire)

## Summary

**Created:** Oct 19 2024 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined)\
**Last documented update:** Oct 19 2024 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined)

Based on research by **Aanderz** and **wizard bakery**

This page documents monowire materials and their properties.

{% hint style="info" %}
The monowire's wire is a `spline`, not a regular mesh. It will appear invisible in 3d preview and behave in interesting ways if you put any different shader on it than the intended one. Please fuck around, find out, and then document your results!

Unstable wires, which wobble across the entire screen, are set to a scale of 1.5 and amount 50.</td></tr><tr><td>Thickness</td><td>Influences the thickness of the Monowire.</td></tr><tr><td>MinimumEmissive</td><td>Influences the brightness of the Monowire, but Temperature takes priority.</td></tr><tr><td>Emissive</td><td>Influences the brightness of the Monowire, but Temperature takes priority</td></tr><tr><td>Temperature</td><td>The key value. The higher the value, the brighter it gets, and it changes color in the following order as it increases: black → red → orange → yellow → white</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/materials/configuring-materials/spline-material-properties-monowire.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
