Strumpy Shader Editor [Now Open Source]

No Problems dude. Whenever you have time

 

I've been doing my best to replicate it today, as it was happening a lot yesterday, but to no avail - it works fine today! It was just after pressing "new graph" in web player mode on Pro. I had been doing quite a bit before using it though. I've attached the info image anyway.

 

hi -
this is really exciting to see the new version with the access to custom lighting. I've been trying to figure out how to use it, and may not have the right idea. I tried making a "toon" shader with stepped color, but am not having great success. The second color blends with the first (see graph) and also the torus view in the screen shot shows how the object seems to be transparent with the lighting although the material is opaque. I figure I am not using the nodes correctly, so I was hoping some example could be given of how it could be used for stepped colors or textures, etc.

edit: I fixed the transparency problem by turning it off in the details for the Master node in the pixel graph, but would still like feedback whether I am trying to use the custom lighting graph correctly

 

I dont know , how to make this shader script for movie texture with shader node , anyone help me please !!! ;

Is it normal for Vertex Reflection to reflect upside-down? World Reflection works as expected, but I'm uncertain how to flip Vertex Reflection.

 

Hey Stramit,

This is looking like an awesome idea, and I've downloaded the shader editor to try it out myself. I recently put together a new desktop, and despite the graphics card being fairly new (or so my friend said when it we given to me. He said a year and a half old or so.) I can't seem to get the shader preview working. I downloaded the help window script as well, in hopes you could help me to fix the problem and get this working, because I would love to start building some shaders.

I'm running the 30 pro trial before the installation has defaulted to indy.

It's an NVidia GeForce GTX 260 OC+Maxcore. It should be fully capable I would think. So...maybe I hit the wrong button in the trial activation. Does it require pro version to function?

 

Even without Pro it should show the proper driver. It's not. Are you sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed?

 

Without Pro rendertextures don't work and as such the function won't work

In case you hit such a wall, unity will normally claim that it is not supported, cause internally, the handling works in the way that if you don't have pro, the function that returns if a graphics feature is supported by the HW or not returns false for pro only features

 

Well that's disappointing. Went and downloaded the latest drivers, installed, and restarted. Still shows as false, even without emulation. Something else I'm forgetting?

 

Right, so, maybe I hit the wrong button after all, when it asked about the 30 day pro trial activation?

 

aha, re-registered with the pro activated. Success!

 

Cool

 

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

 

Also, is it possible to blend 2 normals tex's (using TEX2DNormal), or should I avoid that and just use regular TEX2D, and unwrap it at the end just before input. As it stands I can't input 2 tex2dnrms into a Multiply node without it looking spastic.

 

Hi,

What is the equivalent to "Diffuse"? is it Albedo?

 

Yes

 

/edit i am a moron ! split and assemble work just fine i just messed up some of my vert-colors for some debugging and never fixed em after-wards D:

please disregard !


however is it normal that a channel turns BLACK during a mask ?! should it you know ... disappear ?!

 

I found on the Shader Fusion thread that he was using Depth-differences, and after a little prodding I found how to do this in SSE.
I think it's probably very useful for softparticle shaders.
I've added some controls, so I can define the height and thickness of the fade-point.

 

Speaking of grab pass....did any of you guys find a way to correct the false refraction that caused by grab pass?. The Bootcamp demo seems to fix this on their water shader, but i can find out how they do it.

 

I'm loving this new version.

I've been updating my graphs to use the new (1-v) node, rather than (one) and (subtract) to clean them up a bit, and I noticed that using (1-v) seems to yield one extra arithmetic operation than using (one) and (subtract). I don't know if this is just being reported wrong or if it's actually implemented in a less efficient way.

Weird!

 

Is there a reason for the Add node in there ? (the one with only one input)

 

@stramit : when i mean about false refraction is the object above the water is refracted too...
uhh....ok sorry i kinda confused here....what script for the camera? it is custom script ??

 

If iam not mistaken the second value is the bump for distortion offset

 

Right, yes that makes sence actually.

 

Hi all. I've been working on a tute for beginners like myself.
It's your standard planet shader. I've found that planet shaders seem to be the teapot of the shader world these days, which is nice. It's good to have a standard.
Here's some images from the tutorial.

 

Hey Stramit

I think i found a bug, but not sure whether it has something to do with the editor or unity itself, but the ScreenDepthDiff produces different results in the scene view and game view (also different in builds). I've used it in a water shader to make shallow parts more transparent with a distortet grabpass. Theproblem s that in the game view it gives a higher value, so my water is not fully transparent in the shallow parts as it is in the scene view. i kinda fixed by multiplying by 2 and subtracting 1 but then goes a little bit into the negative and produces some strange results.

So just wondered if you have an idea how to fix this?

 

Let's say I want to blend two different textures...one with tilling U1 V1 and one with tilling U6 V6, is there a way to do that using nodes?

 

I would like to see a tutorial using the custom lighting, because I don't quite understand it...

I'm trying to do the blended normals SSS method (should calculate diffuse once with geometry normals, then with normal map normals then lerp those two (with the geometry one being tinted red). Should I do this with the simple lighting or not?...

 

Is there a way to create a double sided shader? Example, for stuff like coats without modelling thickness if you can't afford to...

 

just had to say that this is an awesome script, thanks for sharing!

 

@Stramit

The real problem is that the scene view rendered the shader as I inteded it :/ Well I'll see if i can work it out.

Edit: Ohh BTW is thre away to disable the awesome bezier curves? 'cus when my shader get's real complicated it slows down the editor to abt 1 fps, 'cus of all the lines.

EditEdit: and would be nice if you had the time to just whip a graph together that has dephtbased opacity.

 

I tried rolling my own node that will refer to a function, but I couldn't see where that chunk of code for the function would be. By looking at the ParallaxNode I could see how you do the GetUsage thing - are there any nodes that rely on custom functions in the shader that I could look at?

Planning on making the following:
- Simplex noise
- Overlay
- Contrast
