[Maya] [ShaderFX] Norrsken realtime PBR

Pontus

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.

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?

Well that definitely looks exciting.  Thanks for sharing your shader.  Can't wait to try it out next week.

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 ...
