# StandardMaterial.normalTexture

## Summary
StandardMaterial.normalTexture reads the current `normalTexture` value from this StandardMaterial instance. Use it to inspect runtime state without mutating resources.

## Syntax
```ts
StandardMaterial.normalTexture: Texture2D | null
const value = material.normalTexture;
```

## Parameters
This API does not take parameters.

## Returns
`Texture2D | null` - Current accessor value exposed by the runtime object.

## Type Details
```ts
// No additional descriptor expansion is required for this signature.
```

## Example
```js
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const wgpu = await WasmGPU.create(canvas);

const material = wgpu.material.standard({ color: [0.8, 0.8, 0.9], roughness: 0.5, metallic: 0.2 });
const value = material.normalTexture;
console.log(value);
```
