Strumpy Shader Editor Tutorial?

1magus

Each tutorial I find for this thing assumes you know quite a bit about it which is a bit ironic considering he designed the editor to be very user friendly.

I was just trying to make a simple Shader with One Diffuse, Normal and Specular map assigned to it. But no matter what I do it only shows the diffuse texture and with the amount of time it took me to fail I could have had this done with the default Materials in Unity.

The Documentation skips quite a bit of steps and I'm still lost here but the default Unity Materials are pure ugly when compared to other game engines so I was hoping if someone could help me out here? Anybody know of a good English tutorial for this editor?

I just found a very useful silent tutorial for the basics that helped out a lot but is there a website where people share their shader creations with it? It is still quite complex and the examples they made with the editor I'm sure took a long time to configure, it would be impossible for a newbie.

You have a couple of samples that come with it. Check them out.

Find something you want to do, plan it out in your head or on a bit of paper, think of some basic workflow, and build it as you go.

The Strumpy thread on the Unity forums does have a few graphs, and in the shaderlab forum you might occasionally see people posting their graphs.

The documentation is pretty lacking. But the samples are good to get anyone started. Then work your way up.
