The '''MaterialAssetMetadata''' component gives variant info about materials in the form of usable values. These values are usually listed at the bottom of a material inspector but are unusable in that state.
|VariantIndex|{{RootFieldType|RawOutput`1|[[Type:Nullable`1|Nullable`1]]<[[Type:UInt32|UInt32]]>}}|TypeAdv1=true| The material variant defined by GPU definitions on the shader. For example, a reflection material has a second variant for having a normal map vs without.
|RawVariantIndex|{{RootFieldType|RawOutput`1|[[Type:Nullable`1|Nullable`1]]<[[Type:UInt32|UInt32]]>}}|TypeAdv2=true| The raw version of <code>VariantIndex</code>.

Material Asset Metadata component as seen in the Scene Inspector
The MaterialAssetMetadata component gives variant info about materials in the form of usable values. These values are usually listed at the bottom of a material inspector but are unusable in that state.
The material variant defined by GPU definitions on the shader. For example, a reflection material has a second variant for having a normal map vs without.
