A great example of how to create a dissolve effect, fully animated and customizable. Created by benderete, follow him @fourheadedcat Included in the ASE package.
Among dozens of improvements, the editor is more stable and flexible. It already counts a couple of user created nodes and shader samples. We could not have done it in such a short period of time without your contribution. We welcome your feedback, bug reports, and contributions.
Be sure to check our Download Page for the full change list.
Stage 1
Let’s talk Injection Headers and Alloy Shaders. Most users are not aware that you can take advantage of some Alloy features using Unity surface shaders without needing to convert your shaders manually. It’s extremely quick to setup, you could start using the Amplify Shader Editor with Alloy today!
Steps:
- In the Project tab, navigate to the "Alloy/Shaders/Unity" folder.
- Right click on one of the files inside the folder and select "Show in explorer" (or Finder on OSX).
- In the window, select all the "*.cginc" files, and copy them.
- Close the window and click back into the Unity editor.
- In the Project tab, navigate to the folder containing a compatible Unity surface shader.
- Right click on the shader and select "Show in explorer" (or Finder on OSX.
- Paste the headers in the same folder as the shader.
- Close the window, click back into the Unity editor, and wait for the shader to automatically recompile.
With these simple steps, your Unity surface shaders, or Amplify Shader Editor surface shaders, can now have Alloy's area lights, colored light cookies, BRDF, and much more, all thanks to code Injection Headers.NOTE: You will need to repeat these steps every time you download a new version of Alloy. Your materials will be limited to the channels available in the standard surface shader, this will be improved in Stage 2.
As Josh put it, code Injection works because of how Unity’s shader system resolves “#include” directives for handling headers. If you use something like “#include “myHeader.cginc” with just the filename and no path then Unity will first look in the same directory as the shader file, and then search the editor’s hidden include directory. So basically, if the shader uses an editor header (eg. “UnityCG.cginc”) you can trick that shader into using a customized local version by copying the header into the same directory as the shader. Then you can simply modify that local copy and the shader will use that instead. This will work for any shader code, even the Standard shader and the generated output of a Unity surface shader.
Stage 2
As you may be aware, the Amplify Shader Editor BETA is currently limited to Surface Shaders. Future ASE versions will include several additional shader types, along with better support for custom types, custom shader GUI, and platform specific samples. Alloy is one of the main packages that we intend to support, we will be working close with the developers in order to provide the best experience possible.
Stay tuned!
