Strumpy Shader Editor [Now Open Source]

Can you be more specific...? if you want to set a node to just do alpha, you just plug the "A" part of it, and plug it into any other node, or the master node

 

I want create this shader :
Diffuse (Channel1) + Alpha (Channel 2 ) + Specular (Channel 2 ) + Normal (Channel 1 )

Channel is the Map Channel ; Mapping Coordinates or UV Mapping . In 3DSMax Diffuse is normally Channel 1 and Lightmapping in Channel 2
Is possible create it with Strumpy Shader Editor?

Thanks

 

If you download my shader graph, you are basically getting this effect... can you post a screen shot of your graph? What effect are you trying to achieve?

 

I want to create a transparent/Bumped Specular shader but the alpha texture in channel 2.
Main Color
Specular Color
Shininess
Diffuse Texture (Channel 1)
Alpha Texture (Channel 2)
Normalmap Texture (Channel 1)

 

I could try and whip something up... but you will have to be patient... can you post an image of what you have so far...? I don;t know why you would want a colour input...your diffuse texture should be enough

 

I don't have unity pro so render to texture is out of the question...

 

This shader : transparent/Bumped Specular of Unity3d, but the alpha texture in Channel 2
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/shader-TransBumped Specular.html

 

Let me figure this part out for you friend

 

Is this what you want friend? It is similar to my other shader, except it comes with a clip function... just add the alpha to your diffuse... i kept the gloss map separate for stuff like combined gloss and shine... enjoy

 

Thanks. But the alpha texture is in Channel 1. How I change a Channel2?

 

Hang on... i may have to split the alpha up... are you also trying to blend textures?

 

In this shader not, I want the alpha texture in another channel

 

I would have to fool with it... still learning how to use the SSE

 

so you want to be able to use two alphas on the model?

 

No only one.

 

I am having a lot of problems getting Strumpy Editor to work. I am using unity3d windows build on windows 7 64-bit. When I import the package and open the editor I see everything except the shader preview in the details tab. I also receive the a warning that I have inconsistent line endings with some of my files. It specifically flags the TempShader file. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the package and unity itself. I have also tried changing the line endings to CR + LF and that didn't work either. I also tried changing the NewBehaviourScript.cs that is located in Unity\Editor\Data\Resources to CR + LF so that when new scripts are made the endings are consistent. None of these things seem to work and I would really like to use this shader editor. Anyone have any help or advice? Thanks in advance for your time =)

 

If you're using Unity free then you won't get a preview as it uses render to texture, a pro only feature. You can ignore the warning about the line endings. The generated shaders should still work, and you can do a poor man's preview by making a sphere in your scene and exporting the shader every time you want to see what it will look like.

 

^^that is what i've been doing... have you tried the clip shader...?

 

No no...i was asking someone if they tried my modified shader, with the alpha set to clip the surface

 

Good evening, everyone, just passing thru to share some screen shots of my shader (which I am trying to improve and optimised. ALU is at 52 and Texture count at 7 ??!)

NI_Detail_Shader (With Gloss Masking) : In this capture, I am showing how the other tiles have no shine or gloss, using a mask set into it's own channel... (unrealistic, but i had no other object to use at the time of testing. And I may just use an alpha in my gloss texture)



NI_Detail_Shader (With Alpha Masking): In this one, it is the same shader as above, except I've added masking to the overall object... I found that i may running into an issue with both sides lit at the same time . That is a bummer. And even modeling the shape with thickness may not help much.

NOTE: If you are modeling clothes with a TINY thickness, set the CULL model to BACK... seems to work for me...i will test this further...



Here is the shader on a full character... can't wait to use it on another model...



And another capture with the eye shader that is designed to give the model a nice glint... (notice the eyes, the shiny part is another object around the eye ball...). I will upload that shader soon...



Enjoy

 

hi,

awesome editor u got there.

i got a question how to create a shader like this shading on a iphone? shading like this

i know it has something to do with the cubemap frensnel, any ideas?

thanks

 

Stramit,

Have you by chance been able to take a look at the screengrab issue, where the image is upside down? I downloaded your new editor and it appears to still have that issue. Thanks

 

Ok, no worries. Thanks for looking into it.

 

Hi guys,

I'm using Unity 3.1 Pro version and I'm trying to implement and HDR example. I just want to know if anyone has fought against ARGBHalf textures... any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

ProD

 

no help at all?

 

I have a complex situation here... I am trying to work on some NI_Shader presets, and one of these shader presets is metal... how could I make it look metallic without the use of a cubemap?

 

Seems like the link to the documentation is not working right.

 

hey guys,

this shader editor is really awesome.

I'm having one issue, but I'm almost positive its just because I've messed something up.
anyway I'm having trouble setting up my alpha maps properly.

I'm taking the alpha channel of my diffuse and sticking it directly into alpha.
When I turn on transparency in the main shader menu and export my whole model starts to look really weird like so:

The only way I can get my alpha to work is by plugging it into clip with transparent off and this causes a really jagged, flat transparency shown here:


if anyone else has encountered this issue please let me know.

 

I was about to ask how you made this shader. I thought it was deliberate. Looks like painted concept art. I'm guessing you don't think it looks all that cool.

 

Could someone show how to make an outline (like in cartoon shader)?

Thanks

 

haha, i guess it does look kinda cool, though I don't know that you would think so if you saw it in real time.

anyway, essentially what is happening is my entire model is becoming somewhat transparent. I'm trying to just get the parts that I want to be transparent to be transparent.

 

I've set culling to off, I'm not sure why I assume I just played with it and found out that worked best.
If there is a certain setting i should use lease let me know, but I think I'll just go with seperate meshes, that should probably work.

thanks again.

 

Hi stramit,

I have some issue with anti aliasing in deferred lighting ( i know it is from unity side), but your shader is not fully supporting forward rendering. I am getting flickering edges in final exe when using deferred lighting mode which is quiet less in forward. Is there any way to improve quality of my final exe by adding any node in the shader or will your shader fully support forward rendering.
thanks in advance

i am trying to make a shader/material that scrolls horizontally in steps !
like it offsets "v" by 0.25 every second or every 60 frames.

is that currently possible what nodes would i use for this ?!

/edit GOT IT ^^ i love using this thing ! if anybody cares:

i multiplied "time" with a speed "range" that the user can tweak the output goes through a "floor" node which i multiply with a "const" of 0.03125(1/32 that is the amount of steps i want across my texture ! )
that result goes into the time in on my "uv_pan" DONE =D

another question though i would like to be able to expose that const to the users as well is that possible with some node i dont know ?!


/edit: thanks !

 

Hey stramit, is there any node to rotate uv?

Edit: uhh.....sorry kinda lost here, did i already ask you about this before??? I Forgot dude sorry XD

 

Hi

I need a little help.How can i create total invisible shader with grab sampler? If i write a code manually its work but SSE not work.

I try: GrabSampler and FullMesUV1 to Tex2D, and Tex2D RGBA chanel to Albedo.

Sry my bad english.

 

Thanx

if I use a 'normalized screen position' the transparency is flipping vertical.

I am working on an NPR outline shader. I more or less have the appearance I want, but I have an issue.

I am using a normal map to modulate the fresnel detection so I can get paint stroke like effects. The problem is, when I do this, I am getting weird draw order issues. The object gets drawn behind everything else in the scene.



In this picture, you can see the issue clearly:



The fox is drawn behind every other object (and in fact, all the white parts are transparent, even though there is no transparency in the shader).

Is there a way to force the normal map to not take A (or RGBA) into account in the Albedo? Am I doing something horribly wrong here?

Also, the way I have this set up now, there are weird color variations at the edges of the cutoff for the fresnel:



Is this because of how I am modulating the fresnel? I thought the Sign node would clamp the values to 0 or 1, am I misunderstanding that?

And, finally, how would I combine this effect with a texture map for the model (that way I can have say a diffuse map as well as the outline)? I have tried plugging this node group into Emission but it will not let me have a black outline if I do it that way.

Thanks for any help you can provide, and thanks for the great tool, I have been with Unity since first public release and have been dying for something like this for a looong time
