Geometry debug views: normals, tangents, UV, depth

One unshaded debug material with a mode switch: world normals, view normals, tangents, binormals, UVs, vertex colours, linear depth bands or world position cells, for checking imported meshes and shader inputs.

Recorded render of Geometry debug views: normals, tangents, UV, depth

How it works

Shader type: spatial
Render modes: unshaded
Parameters: mode (int = 0), depth_band (float = 0.5), position_cell (float = 0.25), flip_back_faces (bool = yes)
Result: Meshes coloured by their world-space normals (red, green and blue per axis) in the default mode.
Renderers: compatibility: compiled and rendered, forward plus: not verified, mobile: not verified
Placement: res://baltor/godot_shaders/normal_debug_view/

Limits to consider

Debug output only: unshaded and not meant for final art. Tangent and binormal modes need meshes with tangents. Normals are the interpolated vertex normals after any normal map is ignored.
