Here's my ultra realistic surface shader.

I've been using Unity for a while now. I wrote this surface shader in 8th grade using this as reference: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1020556/Lighting-and-Materials-in-Forza. This was implemented in 2016 with Unity 5. Hoping to do more graphics works with HDRP.

 

I have all this stuff from a while back that I have never posted online. Time to change that .

 

I love the idea of scriptable render pipeline. BUt, shader graph should be extended to be able to manipulate the BRDF.

 

The one thing I remember that made this so hard to implement:

I had to reimport all cubemaps as textures in order to use cubemap convolution API. That was kind of annoying ...

 

You wrote this in 8th grade? Impressive.

 

Unity 2018 release is pretty awesome. It's really close to my idea of a perfect game engine. Just if Shader Graph could be updated to support custom lighting models.

 

Gasp! Cool!

 

Found this yesterday: http://www.jordanstevenstechart.com/physically-based-rendering

It's an excellent comprehensive overview of writing AAA quality shaders.

 

Thanks for the plug!

 

; ) keep it up

 

Good Job. Do you model these 3d models yourselves?

 

The 3d models are the famous reference teapot.

It's the computer graphics equivalent of "Hello World" basically.

 

Oh Ok Thanks.
