Maya realtime shader setup for TF2

willy-wilson

Someone sent me a message asking what the settings were i used in Brice's BRDF shader for maya to get the TF2 look. It isn't perfect and Im sure can be improved on, but here it is nonetheless. The rim-light is also a bit harsh in some areas, using the rim ground influence can help with this.

Brice's shader can be found here.



Some more examples. (the settings are a little bit different in these because i had lost the files and had to redo them)

me love you long time?

Anyone know of a way to replicate this in Max? I guess I can just use Xoliul's shader but this looks a bit better for TF2 style.

one question, is this tf2 ramp shader a real thing or just a ramp you've named tf2? I havent read the shader thread yet but the black and white ramp i created, well actually it didn't seem to make any difference at all...?

willy-wilson

make sure you have use brdf sampler checked, and it is an actual ramp, if you go into the link above for rollin's shader he has a download for thew ramp.

Any reason my renders are transparent with this shader?

Because its a REAL-TIME shader, not a rendering material.

Ah. Guess I completely missed that in the title.

It's not working for me in Maya 2011. The shader remains pink regardless of what maps are added. What am I missing?

EDIT: Hm Kodde Shader isn't working either and I've used that in previous versions. Is there something I need to turn on somewhere?

Norron

I also can't get this shader working in maya 2011. Is it just incompatible?

ScudzAlmighty

have you tried assigning the shader, then closing and reopening maya? I have to do that sometimes with '09. check the official thread for it too, there may be stuff about 11 in there.

Version 1.1 works in Maya 2011 but it doesn't have the same features that your tutorial shows.. Just from looking at your settings list I can see that there are a lot of missing ones and yours says you're using version 4.0.

I tried looking for version 4.0 of the shader but his site only has 1.1. Does anyone have version 4.0 hosted?

ScudzAlmighty

it should be near the end of the thread,

You're right, I found it. Unfortunately it looks like it doesn't work at all in 2011. The shader stays pink.
