Project D Character Shader
The Character Shader I update and improve with each new character I add.
Future planned material functions -
Control Rig driving light parameters
Day / Night Cycle colour shifting
Custom shadow map for Contact Shadows
Light Control
Texture Inputs, Basecolour and SSS replaced with Colour Mask
Prep Inputs for use in gradient ramps
Vector math used as inputs for light and shadow thresholds - custom normals don't break with pre-skinned local normals
Left Vertex Normals WS
Right Pre-skinned Local Normals converted to WS
ILM Manual / Automatic Switch Nodes
ILM Switch Manual / Automatic
Input generation for Light , specular and Rimlight
UV3 Gradient Control
Mask Generator
Mask Selection, MPC has a unique value for each mask.
Miscellaneous Masks that control parts of the shader locally
Pattern Mask Blend - multiple different patterns can be controlled from one texture and the material groups mask
Colour Controller - blends the colours of each band
Rim light
Blending the Shadow Gradient ramps together
Colour Combiner, simply adds all the masks, basecolour and SSS inputs together
Colour Combiner - mixing Basecolour and Shadow SSS with parameters instead of texture input
