[Maya] [ShaderFX] Norrsken realtime PBR

Norrsken PBR is a realtime PBR shader that allows the user to display full PBR in the Maya viewport. The main goal was to make previewing game assets or animations as simple as possible. I wanted the user to just take their exported textures and their favorite HDRI without needing to worry about dependencies or other roadblocks.

How to setup: https://youtu.be/mLUW1APpfOQ

The shader has support for both spec/gloss and metal/rough pipelines. The shader has limited support for texture packing like the Unreal4 packing standard and The Game Assembly's packing standard for the spite game project.

    I notice you're getting darker metals and darker rough dielectrics than painter - I've seen the same thing in my own painter derived ShaderFX material and can't quite work out what's causing it - do  you have any ideas?

    Thanks dude this is really nice to share your voodoo magic !

    Edit:
    I am very impressed by your work man, this is exactly what i was dreaming of.  Nice clean shaderfx PBR , without having to use Stingray Restrictive context. So far the result are very good and the shader has a beautiful logic. If you have a patreon or gumroad i would be glad to donate some bucks. I was hoping that AD finally decide to do something similar since 3 years ...
