How can I dynamically modify the blend mode of my precompiled material?

[NewbyThebest]

I have written a material as follows:

[NewbyThebest]

material {
name : particle_material,
shadingModel : unlit,
blending : transparent,
flipUV : false,
}

fragment {
}

[NewbyThebest]

How can I modify my blending in real-time based on runtime needs?

Did you try setting the parameter on the material instance, like

loadMaterial() // filamat file is loaded & material object is initialized
material.defaultInstance.setParameter("blendMode", BlendMode.TRANSLUCENT)

What do you want to achieve? I feel there might be other ways rather than chaning blend mode.
