Nodes for Shader Graph

http://u3d.as/1gkf

13 Nodes:
- SSS Colors,
- SSS gradient,
- Parallax mapping,
- Parallax Mapping iterrations,
- Parallax Occlusion Mapping,
- PerturbedNormals (World normal with NormalMap),
- CreateNormalChannel (for individual texture channels),
- CreateNormalFloat (allows to use procedural noises and stuff to create normals),
- IfNode,
- LightDirection,
- ProceduralRock (procedural noise),
- Range (procedural shape),
- TilingShape (for convenient tiling shapes).

All nodes work with LWRP and with HDRP

 

Added a shader for vegetation made entirely in Shader Graph

 

Added sss node for Amplify Shader Editor for this Asset

 

does it work in HDRP ?

 

All nodes operate HDRP and on LWRP, but "Amplify shader editor" itself does not support HDRP as far as I know

 

Latest version of ASE works in HDRP

 

When there is an opportunity I will check on the latest version of ASE and write to you, it should work.

 

Really sweet to see this but pretty much all of these nodes are on their way to Shader graph as well as a Lit Master node to support all the HDRP shader features on the Standard Lit Shader. Although I can still see some nice uses for your node especially if they also work with LWRP since it doesn't have SSS and Translucency so I'm keeping an eye on this.

 

You can suggest which nodes I would add to the Shader Graph for the update, what else do you lack in Shader Graph?

 

That's why I added the ability to use several colors / textures or use a gradient instead of one red as usual)

 

Not quite sure, I'm guessing these nodes also work with LWRP since none of them are directly coded into the master node.

 

All nodes work with LWRP and HDRP, all screenshots and videos (except for the plant) were made in the scene with LWRP, but I have another scene with HDRP.

 

All these nodes will be a nice to have especially working with LWRP. Will you also make some sort of transmission/translucent node to work with materials like cloth?

 

Awesome, exactly what we need. Does it uses Unity Profile SSS?

Is it in forward or deferred?

 

Should work with both forward and deferred but it won't be using the SSS profiles since that's HDRP only. Instead, these nodes use colors/gradients to define how the SSS will look and in return, it works both with LWRP and HDRP.

Devs are working on the Lit Master node for shader graph to work with HDRP and that will be able to use the SSS Profiles. https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/tree/sg/lit-master-node

 

You can set Transmission to make the light come out from the back

 

Does your vegetation shader support wind AND translucency (or SSS)? When will it come to asset store?
There is a great shader in recent unity blog for vegetation, but it doesn't have translucency, because shader graph does not support it as far as i know (i'm no coder ).

 

Hello, I took as a basis the shader from the unity blog, so the shader supports the wind, the translucency works but the shadow in the Shader graph can not be obtained from the reverse side, if such an opportunity is added to the Shader graph, then I will update this shader (the material was made in HDRP ),

Hello, at the moment in Amplify shader editor does not work Light Direction in HDRP, without it SSS will not work, I today already wrote to the developers of ASE

 

What is a benefit of your implementation that implementation in ASE ? Material type: Subsurface Scattering ?

 

It works with both LWRP and HDRP. Amplify's version is the same as the Default Lit shader in HDRP, just in their editor ASE so it will only work with HDRP.

 

Compared to the standard method, it is faster and more customizable, and you can also use textures for each layer, and in LWRP there is no SSS, my implementation works in LWRP

 

Hello
I am using the "NodeParallaxOcclusionMapping" in HDRP.
In Editor works ok... but I can't build because I got several errors.

Any idea how to solve it?

 

Hello, thank you for letting me know about this issue, I fixed this problem, I will send you an unitypackage to Email, email me industrialforest@mail.ua

 

What about tessellation? Is it even possible in SG for now?

 

This is amazing! Thanks for this, good price too!
Is it possible to bake Shallow Maps out of outer software? I am new to the SSS Concept...

 

Also what would be really cool: A Unlit Shader wich recieves shadows from dynamic objects. Because i would like to bake my lighting outside of unity and use a unlit shader on those objects.

 

Hello, do you want to bake lighting, color, and sss, all in one texture?
I don't know how to bake SSS in texture.

 

Hi,
I think I just would like to know where and how to bake these textures from a mesh or do you have to paint them in photoshop?

 

Sorry, I did not understand you correctly at first, I baked these textures in Xnormal, this is a thickness map, they can also be baked in other programs, for example, Substance Designer

 

Sweet, thanks a lot!

 

Tried XNormal. Translucency map worked fine but the thickness texture looks messed up.
I put the low poly mesh in both channels in Xnormal. High and Low...

 

Use the translucency map instead of the thickness map, it's almost the same

 

Extremely helpful asset, thank you for making it!

 

Great asset, I bought it just for the SSS shader on Amplify for the LWRP pipeline.

I would really like some kind of refraction node that works in Amplify's LWRP pipeline. For example, looking through a magnifying glass or a glass of liquid. Since they don't allow grab screen color in LWRP, I couldn't think of a way to make one.

Thanks!

 

Hello, thanks for your feedback, later I will add "light attenuation" (shadow receiver in ASE and Shader Graph), refraction node I tried to do, failed. You can try using Render texture, I added a second camera and forbade it to render the sphere.

 

@Andrey_Graphics Thanks for the idea with the rendertexture.

I managed to get something working with the new version of ASE on their website and the 'Grab Screen Color' node. It uses the opaque texture feature recently added to the LWRP pipeline. I'm still tweaking the effect and I'm sure someone with more shader knowledge such as yourself could do a better job.

 

Hi there @Andrey_Graphics

We bought your asset "Nodes for Shader Graph" for Unity and were hoping to use it for the Parallax Occlusion Mapping, since the PBR Shader has no height map.

The nodes you made are really good, but we've come across two significant issues:

1. On a plane, the parallax effect freaks out once you scale the plane to a normal size. In the project you provided, everything is scaled down to around 0.1. If you scale it up to 1, everything looks weird.

2. On a 3D object, the parallax effect seems to only work correctly in the Y-axis. When rotating the object, the result is really weird. (same when rotating a plane)

Are these issues you're aware of? And does a fix exist?

 

Hello, I didn't know about it, thanks for letting me know, I'll take care of it.

 

New version on the asset store.

Added node "Light Attenuation" (receive shadows) as well for ASE, I advise you to combine with SSS nodes;
All nodes are fixed Parallax;
Added node "NodeFixedViewDirectionTangent", in Shader graph ViewDirectionTangent incorrect because of what Parallax does not work properly,
this added a fixed node" ViewDirectionTangent",
do not use the standard version until it is fixed by the developers of Shader graph,
use my node, it works correctly.

 

Does the new version support SRP 5.x.x versions with Unity 2019.1? (Currently Alpha)

 

Hi, Yes, but in the new version of shader graph there are serious bugs, I would not use it, the main bug - if you use color, gradient or float variable and the value is not integer (eg 0.5) the Shader will not work, I hope these bugs will soon fix the developers shader graph.

 

Will you add a node for eye ball?

 

Hello, what should this node do? I do not quite understand

 

First, on side view, pupil should has refraction.


Second, inside of pupil is sunken as bottom image.


Images are from this video

 

I think hair shader also has a great demand.

 

It will be difficult to make such a node with 0, so if I had such a Shader on unity, no matter in which render pipeline, so that I could see how the code did it, then I could do it for Shader graph. Most likely need refraction, for the correct effect, but refraction in Shader graph does not work.

 

About hair I thought before, perhaps will make in the future Shader but not see sense to do node for hair

 

Thanks for your quick reply. I am looking forward to your amazing update.
