### Remarks

Unity applies these values to the GPU's render state if [RenderStateBlock.mask](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/renderstateblock/mask.md) includes a value of [RenderStateMask.Stencil](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/renderstatemask/stencil.md).

The default value is [StencilState.defaultValue](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/stencilstate/defaultvalue.md).
