Strumpy Shader Editor [Now Open Source]

I'll try to nail down a repro for you later today.

Thanks so much for creating this tool - you need a donation system!

While you're here, is a high quality water sgraph available anywhere yet? I am just about to set out to create the ultimate water system, and anything I could build upon would be splendid.

 

Hi...=]

Shader rusty metal reflection

I need a rusty metal shader that reflects the environment. If anyone knows how to do this by controlling the intensity of reflection?

If it works and someone can answer this question, thank you.

Sorry my bad English again. : D

Greetings to all

 

Hi everyone,

i hope everyone here will be familier with the mirror reflection script on unitywiki, i want to create similar shader in SSE, is it possible?
Please guide me as i am not so familier with SSE.

 

@Jeroll3d: the standard unity reflective shader already does that. you can control the reflectiveness through the alpha channel

 

Actually, what he needs is a specular map-based reflection.

 

doesn't change much actually, just look at the source of the standard one and replace the color lookup with the alpha channel lookup on the spec map

 

Ok, Thanks, but a want make it in StrumpyEditorShader. Just it.

 

We just noticed that the shaders output by the editor don't work correctly on the Mac (and therefore, the iDevices). Unity says that some lines end in Windows code and some end in Mac code. Is this a known issue, and is it something we should be doing on our end?

 

line ending clashes don't cause compile errors though. its only a warning, no error.

code that does not work on mac (or better iOS target) is commonly more related to features just not present on the mobile OpenGL ES 2.0 target as not everything is available (ok quite some stuff isn't)

 

Is there a certain trick or setting I'm missing to get shaders made with the editor working with mesh batching? At first I thought maybe it isn't batching due to a shader having constantly updating values (like a UV pan with the time component) but even with the basics (a single color input into albedo) my meshes aren't batched, yet if I swap to a default Unity Diffuse texture they will be.

 

are you just working with the shader or actually modifying the material? the later would cause new material clones if you did it at runtime, actively breaking batching.

I didn't check what the generated shader would look alike but as long as the change is all within a CG it should still batch. if it ends with some c# / unity script code feeding data it will normally no longer batch

 

I'm not updating anything at runtime from what I can tell, I have a material that uses a shader exported from the strumpy editor which just has Input Color going into Albedo as a test. Then that shader is in a material which is on a prefab, and only that prefab uses the material. I then create instances of the prefab at runtime but they don't end up batching. If I change the prefab's material shader to any of the default provided Unity shaders everything batches as usual (after restarting the game from the editor).

As another test I tried the supplied NormalMap and RimLighting examples but they don't batch the meshes either. Is there something I need to modify in the *.shader file that could get it working? I have tried some other shaders that might have been written from scratch and those actually batch fine.

 

hmm ...
The only thing aside of skinned meshes that I know thta can kill batching normally is if there is alpha present.

As such compare 2 things between those working and those not working:

1. Do they write the alpha too?
2. Do they use a colormask to kill out the alpha channel (ie colormask RGB)

2 would be horrible cause colormask is a pretty beefy performance killer on iOS

 

I think we need to add an sgraph section to the http://www.unifycommunity.com

Sgraphs so people can learn and alter the source for there own needs.

My team developed a snow shader that applies snow on the up world normal vector on normal maps. It can also be used for moss and dirt and sand. Really cool.

 

Good to know. Although, this shader isn't anything particularly complex. I was just wanting something to blend two textures with an alpha map. The sgraph is below. Is this unlikely to work?

 

Stramit, did you, by chance, have some time to look into why the grab screen was upside down on that bubble dome shader I was working on? I appreciate your time.

 

what error do you get and what is the output shader of it? (especially the compiled one so we see if the glsl optimizer had a negative impact)

technically I see no reason it shouldn't work, its 3 textures and a handfull of trivial operations, nothing thats outside the specs.

 

Here's the shader file and the sgraph. The error itself is just the warning about Mac and Windows endings. However, on the Mac, the groundplane is all black when the shader is applied.

 

Nevermind, I took off my moron hat and cleaned out all my 3.0 files first.

I just downloaded 3.1 and when I update my shader it turns solid dark gray and no matter what I do it won't change. Even if it's a basic texture only shader. Anyone else had this problem?

 

I'm new to shaders but for 1, I have Transparency set to off and Queue as Geometry in the shader editor when clicking on the master node in the pixel graph, so that would make me think alpha wouldn't be used, as for 2 I'm not sure.

As another test I just used a default blank shader graph, and without adding any nodes it still stops batching from working, but then if I edit the exported shader file and remove the code in CG program, the batching will work. I'm assuming now it is something the shader editor does on export, maybe if I compare some basic shader files I'll be able to figure out what the difference is, it is probably something really simple that I don't quite get yet

 

Nice! That was it. I had a feeling it would be something we didn't do on our end.

 

Sample:


Graph:


I know it has been said there isnt iOS support yet, just wanted to confirm, at least on my iPodTouch 4th Gen, this doesnt work, everything is solid black. Is there a way to force the app to use OGLES 2 to render?

(Well not quite black...see below)

 

Hi, Thanks for the really awesome shader editor you made .
I think there is a bug with Matrix node. When I add it cause a problem.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
StrumpyShaderEditor.InputNode.IsValid (SubGraphType graphType)
StrumpyShaderEditor.SubGraph.IsNodeValid (StrumpyShaderEditor.Node validatingNode)
StrumpyShaderEditor.SubGraph.UpdateErrorState ()
StrumpyShaderEditor.ShaderGraph.UpdateErrorState ()
StrumpyShaderEditor.NodeEditor.OnGUI ()
NodeEditorWindow.OnGUI () (at assets/Editor/ShaderEditor/NodeEditorWindow.cs:27)
System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

and all the things in editor will be disappear.

 

hey stramit, i have a question for you...is it possible to create a shader for like toon rendering or shading like in the game Okami using SSE?

 

Ok , thanks

 

hey stramit, here the graph file
View attachment $ligthingBug.rar

 

You lost me on this one friend I haven't even messed with custom lighting yet

 

Hey Stramit, did SSE support particle shader?

 

Probably a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyways: Can SSE be used to develop full screen image effects for Unity Pro?

 

Nice Work...

 

I wil do some more tests with just the included sgraphs today to see how it works out; maybe I am missing something simple.

My bug issue now is that, things were working fine, I upgraded Unity 3, and now when I make a graph, I am unable to edit any variables for that material in the inspector (nothing shows up in the inspector when I select the material).

 

Basically, for 'correct' toon shading, you need a custom lighting setup to get the banded effect.

You can fake this with a cube/environment map, though; see this thread:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/14631-2D-art-and-toon-shading?highlight=toon+shading+iphone

most of the way down you will see an example I posted of the effect.

 

Hey is it possible to use colored specular texture with normal map with this shader editor?

 

- I Upgraded Unity, to version 3.1.0f4 (55865)
-If I remove the editor from the project and reimport it, it is still broken (no adjustments in Inspector for material)
-If I make a new project and import an sgraph (included ones or mine), same problem.
-If I make a new project and make a new shader from scratch, it works.

I think I figured it out...when I made the new project and reimported SSE, I unchecked the temp internal files relating to the autosave graph and the temp shader...this seems to have corrected the problem, I will let oyu know.

 

We want iOS support! =D

Do it! *handclap* - Do it! *handclap* - Do it! *handclap* - Do it! *handclap*

does the shader editor not already support iOS shader output

 

within borders
It does not allow you to specify it to target it explicitely and only.

But in the end: you don't want to use the surface shaders for iOS normally anyway. Surface shaders is about light and light interaction and pixel light is one of the best ways to kill your hole performance to non-fluent low fps
