Materials for colouring splines (e.g. monowire)

This page documents monowire materials and their properties.
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!

MainColor
Influences the color but is overridden by Temperature
EmissiveMaskPower
Influences the brightness of the Monowire, but Temperature takes priority.
StartGradient
Influences the gray wire near the hand. Set to -1 to disable.
NoiseScale
Influences the animation of the Monowire, but Temperature takes priority.
NoiseAmount
Noise scale and amount set how much the wire wobbles when used. Unstable wires, which wobble across the entire screen, are set to a scale of 1.5 and amount 50.
Thickness
Influences the thickness of the Monowire.
MinimumEmissive
Influences the brightness of the Monowire, but Temperature takes priority.

Temperature
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
