Strumpy Shader Editor [Now Open Source]

ive been using this for a couple of weeks and its really easy!
and free also!

 

Is it possible that a gray-scale map determined how bright a pixel is. White = fullbright, unaffected by lighting, black = normally affected by lighting. No illumination of sorroundings. Will something like that work in free? (My trail won't last forever)

 

How do i get a per-pixel worldnormal node?
I can't find it in the shader editor, but it said in the struct that it exists as WorldNormalVector (IN, o.Normal). if i didn't misinterpret.

 

Hi, I'm start to use this very awesome tool and notice something very important, when you try to make a shader with alpha the object don't looks good, you can see the object´s back over the front side and if have to many polygons, the effect it's more weird, this is because the "AlphaTest" it's not included in the settings within the editor's shader, when I include this, in the game window show a well and perfect alpha integration, so if you could add this option in the editor this will be a great help to making shaders with "RGBA" images, thanks for your attention, keep the good work.

 

I'm using the most up to date version of the editor but are having problems with alphas. Even when I set the render type and queue to Transparent, it always seems to stay opaque. Am I being thick? The only thing I can think is that either there's a known problem, or since the editor's interface has changed (I was using it a few months ago and seems to have changed quite a lot) there is some switch somewhere that I'm missing.

Thanks for any help.

 

Well, that is cool dude... i've been meaning to ask you... I started a Front-Back shader (thanks to texel's example) and it looks GROOVY...everything pretty much works as it should except for the normal map which, when applied to both Frnt-Bck Channels, doesn't appear whatsoever... it appears the assembly node texel uses for the normals gets in the way of it... is there a way around this? Using a Lerp doesn't seem to help me at all...

 

Just really want to thank you Stramit and Texel this is just what unity needs Big Time so big thanks to you guys.

Did find a lil something up with the transparency when trying to create a transparency shader based of an alpha with rim light.
I have read your posts and changed up the shader to

custom
src color
oneminussrcalpha

and worked a treat with the normal transparency shaders but as soon as I add rim light seems to mess with it.

Did try a few combo's but still haven't hit home.

 

Does this work with particle FX in unity or just shaders?

and

Can I buy now Plz?

 

SSE is free.

 

Even better!!!!!

 

A donate menu item is added when you install it, I'm sure a donation would be very much appreciated.

 

Just found the wonderful MatCap shader:
HERE
And was wondering if it could be replicated in Strumpy?

 

Looks great, time to start downloading!

 

Hey stramit will post up the graph as soon as im back at work. Thanks man.

 

Can you help of guide me for this, stramit?
Any help we be great help for me.

 

How can I select for example the red channel of my vertex color or texture ?

 

Don't know if this is the right place to ask this (is there a Strumpy forum??) but.. here goes:
I want to make a shader thar i would use to display text in my storybook app.. so i need a color (main text color, just basic color) and an alpha.. but in addition i would like to have another image that would be a gradient (linear gradient that goes from start of the text to the end) and would use clipping on itself to fade text in and out, typewriter style.. preferably i would like to take R for main color, G for alfa of the text, and B for gradient for fading.. so i would only have MainTex and a clipping value that i would be able to access trough script..

Ive been trying this for a while now, but i guess that is more advanced than i can handle (math and logic aren't my strong sides hehe)..
Any help would be appreciated!

 

Aa always, few minutes later i answer my own question..



but how do i access the _Clip property trough script now??

 

I usually don't sound like an overexcited little girl, but.. OMG, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! OMG!!!!!
Really, thanks for this awesome tool.. i was able to create something i taught i will never be able to do.. a custom shader to do something I WANT it to do! And i did it in 2 hours from installing of your editor to now!
Just awesome!

 

Though it is hard to get what you said, thank you very much.

 

Thanks.

In UDK there is Bump Offset property that take the heightmap and the UV coordinate and then we can attach it to the UV slot of a tex 2d . But I can't Find it In Strumpy . Is there some thing similar to it ?

 

Hi.
How can I Add parallax map to my shader ?

 

Is there a "stagger" node or a way to do it?

If someone doesn't know what Stagger means please read below:
"Stagger controls how rows of texture tiles are placed beside each other. When Stagger is turned on, then every other row of texture tiles is offset by one-half its width, like rows of bricks in a brick wall."

 

Hey Stramit

The transparency rim light shader problems im experiencing are shown in the attatchment.

jpg no. 3 is more or so what the shader should like but I have to add emmissive map to get that effect

but without the emmissive map I get all sorts of streaks like in the other attatchment.

Also I get some aliasing problems near the inner edges of the alpha map aswell as not being able to see the opaque part of the sphere from some angles.

Was wondering if the latter was a transparency sorting issue?

I have added the sgraph and settings aswell.

 

If I wanted to lerp inbetween two textures by camera radius distance, what node should I use? ScreenDepth?

 

No Idea guys ?

I want Parallax map + Normal map in my shader .

But I don't now how to add and where to ?!

 

Any tutorial or Graph For Toon Shader ?
A toon Shader with Normal Maps , or some in an Oil Paint Style Like Prince Of Persia ?

 

+1

I would like to know how to add a better outline to my shaders without possible gaps like the default toon shader creates. Anyone know how to make an outline shader without gaps?

 

I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into this while providing it for free.

 

Just wanted to say, for all the people having issues using SSE with iOS; I loaded a test scene last night onto my 4th gen iPT with iOS 5GM seed on it, and it works perfectly! Now we can use SSE to make iOS pixel shaders, which I know I am not the only one wanting to do.

On a side note; I have a nice baked normal shader; the problem with it is of course it's only really good for static lighting. Anyone know of a way to fake dynamic lighting (or really, faking the pixel specular contribution) that would give similar results to NM without the expensive calculation?

 

hey guys i am trying to build a "lit sphere" shader also known as "spherical environment mapping" like the polycount guys do here:

http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68125 (there is actually code for a unity shader at the end of the thread but i want to know how to do it within sse because i need to hook this into a much more complex already existing shader )



here is a little tutorial on how to do it in udk (the black sphere with the white bulls eye circle lines)

http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/MaterialsCompendium.html#Transform

i have problems with figuring out what the sse equivalent to udks: "vector transform -> Transform_view" is

anybody have any ideas ? thanks in advance !

 

How can I make Shaders Like color correction ? I mean not for a material of an object , for the camera screen .

I want to make something like rain drops on the FPS camera of the player

Can I use SSE ?

 

I have a question about sin/cos.
Basically I'm trying to create an emissive shader that flickers. How do I set up the nodes in SSE for this to work?

Also how would I go about creating a swaying surface like water? Again one would use sin/cos, for it to move back and forth, but how do I set this up properly?
