MaterialTexture

Remarks

A name and a reference, and deliberately not a handle. A feature carries the name it wants sampled and nothing else — that is what "materials are values, not resources" means — so this is the other half of the pairing, and it is as serialisable as the feature is. What turns it into something a shader can index is a host with a BindlessTable; see TextureIndices.

⚠ The name is the material's, not the shader's. A shader's parameter is the composed path — ForwardPlus.CompositeSurface.TexturedMetalRoughnessSurface.baseColorIndex — and depends on which slot the feature landed in. This one does not, which is the whole reason a feature names a texture indirectly: moving a feature up the chain must not rename the texture an artist assigned.
