I have a mesh made of points and lines and there is a light (point source) in the middle. If I want the light to behave as an actual point source on a mesh (geometry made with noise) I need to use specific material (see attachment). As you can see from my patch when you try other materials "half" of the mesh disappears in the darkness.

Now if I need only point light I am happy with the material I am using - it works as I want. But the problem appears when I want my mesh to flicker. I want all my lines and points to flicker individually. Hence I am feeding a texture with random values between 0 and 1 into jit.gl.material. That works with some materials but "half" of my mesh is gone. So the problem is:

- either I see the whole mesh (when using attached material)

- or I see "half" of the mesh and the flickering works

I need to have both things working at the same time.

A: this is what I want: whole mesh can be seen and light is behaving as a point source - But I need flickering and I can not achieve it with that material (attached in previous post)

B: this is the best I can get when creating flickering with texture--->jit.gl.material and using "preset materials". As you can see "half" of the mesh is gone, obviously not because of the flickering

PS: Material that I attached in previous post has Mat Emission set to 1. It seems that whenever I set Mat Emission to 1 in other materials I get the whole mesh but the flickering or the incoming texture is ignored

Basically when Mat Emission in material is set to white the incoming texture is ignored but it seems that is the only way to see the whole mesh. Hope there is some solution

If this is not possible I would like to know if this is going to be fixed in future updates?
