### Remarks

Note that unlike [Renderer.material](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/renderer/material.md), this returns a shared material reference and not a unique duplicate.

Projector does nothing if it has no material set up. The [Standard Assets](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/asset-packs/standard-assets-32351) package contains an example of Projector's material in *Blob-Shadow* folder.
