Feeds a material using the SynapseRack/SRShape2D shader to the Material output. The shape is drawn with a distance function in UV space and antialiased with fwidth, so the edges stay sharp even when a Quad is stretched large. Unlike GlowMaterial it is not a billboard, so the shape itself rotates with the point cloud’s Rotation. It uses alpha blending (SrcAlpha / OneMinusSrcAlpha) with ZWrite Off in the Transparent queue, so Render draws it after the opaque pass. The point cloud color is multiplied into Color.
- Shape dropdown: Circle (default) / Box / Cross
- Color (default white)
- Stroke — clamped to 0-0.5 (default 0). 0 fills the shape; above 0 it becomes an outline only
- Softness — clamped to 0-0.5 (default 0). Blur amount added on top of the antialiasing width
