Strumpy Shader Editor [Now Open Source]

Bleh, now you're just teasing us cause we have to wait a few days until you release the next version

 

Nice, I've been wanting to move multiple nodes together.

 

Super sweet

 

Amazing! That sounds incredibley useful. Could you use that part for doing fake SSS for a skin shader ?

 

I am a shader newbie, though seem to be able to understand written shaders better than understanding them in node space... must be the coder in me!!!

Though I am only just starting to use this shader editor to make shaders... New shaders seem to be easier to make (I am finding) than re-making old broken shaders.

Take the old "Alpha/vertexLit Colored"

Code (csharp):

1. Shader "Alpha/VertexLit Colored" {
2. Properties {
3.     _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
4.     _SpecColor ("Spec Color", Color) = (1,1,1,0)
5.     _Emission ("Emmisive Color", Color) = (0,0,0,0)
6.     _Shininess ("Shininess", Range (0.01, 1)) = 0.7
7.     _MainTex ("Base (RGB) Trans (A)", 2D) = "white" {}
8. }
9.  
10. SubShader {
11.     ZWrite Off
12.     Alphatest Greater 0
13.     Tags {Queue=Transparent}
14.     Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
15.     ColorMask RGB
16.     Pass {
17.         Material {
18.             Shininess [_Shininess]
19.             Specular [_SpecColor]
20.             Emission [_Emission]    
21.         }
22.         ColorMaterial AmbientAndDiffuse
23.         Lighting On
24.         SeparateSpecular On
25.         SetTexture [_MainTex] {
26.             Combine texture * primary, texture * primary
27.         }
28.         SetTexture [_MainTex] {
29.             constantColor [_Color]
30.             Combine previous * constant DOUBLE, previous * constant
31.         }
32.     }
33. }

I have my basic channels in place, but cant seem to figure out how to do teh:-

Code (csharp):

1. Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha

and

Code (csharp):

1. ColorMask RGB

Nor can I work out exactly how the Combines take place.

I have scanned through the nodes but cant seem to find out about the Blend other than the standard Splat and W channel...

Can anyone offer any help?

 

Hello. I have a question. Is any possible to set specular not in position where the sun's rays are falling, but in negative position (where sun's rays is come from). It could help me very much.

 

any update on Beta 3?

 

Awesome! Btw, what are your plans for when the shader editor gets out of beta?

 

Looking forward to the B3 / Next release

 

Awesome

 

Small bug to report (in beta 2.2, maybe it's already fixed for 3)

When you change a range Min and Max value, the values don't change for the menu you get when clicking on the preview (even with clicking update shader) and for them to get updated there you have to click "reset inputs to Defaults", which is kind of... unintuitive

 

Fully agree, work of others that saves time is always worth donations ... no idea how much I donated over the past years actually, sometimes cause something helped me, sometimes cause I thought that outstanding work of community members just deserved some push

 

I would love to donate, I just saw Shader Fusion and thought "wow this looks awesome, but I don't think it's 100 bones awesome"

I would gladly donate to this, fits my budget and I know I'm helping the community and one of its contributors!

 

The funny thing is I was preparing to offer the devs of both shader graphing tools a larger donation if they consider working together to push it forward as they both have benefits that would fit the "other side" making it a stronger combined effort ... unhappily with the move to commercial, Shaderfusion killed that out.
Good for the team here as it means that they will get more "for themself", as this editor here is more solid technically.

All it needs is some productivity enhancement like preview of the state on the node directly instead of only at the end, visual representation of the data provided by a node and alike and the possibility to work with Shader LODs and Fallbacks. And then naturally the big wish that likely everyone has at some point: hierarchical shader nodes (ie reduce a group of nodes to a single super node with input and output) and store these as node templates that can be used in other graphs

But beyond that there is only "more and more nodes" left and precreated graphs

 

I have donated over £1,000 in the last couple of years just on projects I found use from, so do add a donate button :]

 

This is a GREAT tool - donations - let me know when you are taking donations

GREAT job stramit

 

Wow, this is really cool and extremely useful. Great job!

 

Yeah... Half of the projects I've seen around here wouldn't happen without Texel's help.

 

It's true, he's like Chief O'Brian.

 

Awesome trying the new features now!

My old graphs are all working properly so far.

 

Super awesome :O :O :O

 

Ooooo how exciting! I look forward to downloading it when I get home.

 

A lot of work has been put in this. Donate we must.

 

wait is over today for me.

thanks stramit.

 

It looks tremendous!!!

 

Wow, just opened it up and checked out a few things. Stramit and Texel, great job and thank you both so much for your hard work on this!

 

Freakin awesome update guys! The tooltips really help.

Still a bit of an idiot though with this stuff. I'm trying to write a skybox shader that can blend between 2 cubemaps. While the shader works just fine on any object, it does not work as a skybox material.

Any hints? Is it even possible? I have no idea how skybox rendering is actually done in Unity. Was just hoping it'd sort of just work.

 

I'm not sure, but i would suggest looking at the built in skybox shader to see if you can get some hints there

 

just donated 10 dollars ! keep up the great work !

 

Hows the iOS openGL 1.1 stuff work, is there fallback for this kind of thing?

 

Freaking brilliant. And it's donationware too!

 

This is really cool, thanks so much for all you efforts ! Amazing work !

Quick question, is the shader output iPhone compatible ? I run a shaderModel2.0 compile, works great in the viewport emulation but on device it doesn`t seem to work. I`m not on pro licenses in case that`s an issue ....

 

You sir, are Win. Donations will be made in the very soon future (after payday )

 

donated 20 dollars! please keep up your great works for everyone

 

Getting this:
"Shader error in 'ShaderEditor/EditorShaderCache': Program 'vert_surf', output semantic attribute "TEXCOORD" has too big of a numeric index (8) at line 161"

In 3.0, not 3.1.

edit: Told the shader to be transparent - problem fixed.

 

After creating a new graph, I get this:
MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Material' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.
StrumpyShaderEditor.PreviewNode.RenderPreview ()
StrumpyShaderEditor.NodeEditor.Update (UnityEditor.EditorWindow parent)
NodeEditorWindow.Update () (at Assets/Editor/ShaderEditorScripts/NodeEditorWindow.cs:27)
System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
Rethrow as TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

and it no longer responds to commands.

 

surface shaders are not supported at all there so you would write the fallback manually post export in shaderlab declarations (at least at the time, the plans for the future mention fallback support, potentially also to this leve, who knows)

 

Do you plan to upload (or at least submit) this into the Unity Assets Store?

 

This is really, really awesome work. I just wish I knew how to use it...

It's so great that so much work has been put into creating this tool to lower the barrier to entry for those of us who'd like to create unique effects in our projects.
As a complete shader noob, though, I'm still lost as to what nodes / combinations of nodes produce what effects? Texel's documentation is a good start, but it would be a HUGE help if, as suggested earlier, there were a central repository of shader graphs (on the wiki, for example) or video tuts or something illustrating the basic concepts...

This isn't a request to Stramit, but to anyone willing to lend a helping hand...

Thanks!

 

This shader editor is even better now... and i love how everything can moved with ease... quick question... is there a way to make a shader that simulates wet objects, or sweat?

 

Stramit, you're a lifesaver. With the shader editor, in four hours I was able to work through a complex shader that I've unsuccessfully been pounding on for months. A donation is on the way!

I did find one bug with beta 3: I have a Sampler2D node with its default texture set to "normal," however, after exporting the shader its default switches back to "white". Its not a showstopper, I just have to make sure to always reset this parameter before exporting.
