Hello Polycount Community

Here is the first volume of a new shader series. Each volume will contain one or multiple shaders adapted from existing games for Unity.
big_precise_forum-jpg.109889
Game Shaders : Volume 1 is a shader framework based on the well known Dota 2 game. It contains one base material declined in multiple versions. This shader is based on the Dota 2 shader system and rendering.
By using this shader, you are able to follow the workflow provided in the Dota 2 Official Blog Workshop to create your assets and thus boost your creativity and productivity.

You are able to create any type of render, realistic or close to the Dota 2 rendering look as you can see in the demos.
It's also very easy to convert your Physically Based Rendering textures to this material. Most of the demos were made with PBR texture base and converted easily.

Status: Asset Store
Version: 1.0.4
Demos: Dishonored FanArt | Shield | Dota 2 Heroes Set 1 | George

    Here you can discover Axe in Unity with the first version of the shader and a comparison of the Ogre Magi between Unity and the Half Life Model Viewer.
    This was rendered with the associated original VMT files values and textures.

    Hello Polycount Community,

    I am glad to present some of the features available in the Custom Hero shader.

    Most of those features are completed. Few of them need optimization. And in addition, here is a screenshot of the Nyx Assassin.

    Any updates on this project? :)
    I am always working on it but it takes some times to provide something really easy to use and very clean.
    First, I'll provide a demo to let you see the shader and his properties in action. In this context I am searching an artist that can provide some art to illustrate my shader.
    If you are interested or if you know somebody that might be, feel free to drop me a line at contact@blackfire-studio.com.

    Next step is to make the shader available on the Unity Asset Store.
    It won't take much time. :)

    Hello Polycount community

    Here we are... Game Shaders Volume 1 - Dota 2 is going to be released very soon. But to keep you entertained while waiting, here is the last demo made for all Dota 2 lovers (and of course for all the other one too clear.png).

    You will discover some of the Dota 2 Heros shaded with the Game Shaders Volume 1 without any modifications in the texture and using the original VMT files values.

    Good news for everyone with bad connection (like me...). The Dota 2 Heroes Set 1 loads faster now because it is streamed.

    You can load the next/previous Hero by clicking on the arrows and look at the top to see the progress while you continue looking at the current one. Once the following is loaded it switches this one.
    Simple, isn't it ? clear.png:)

    Hello Polycount Community

    Version 1.0.2 is on its way ! This is a small update, but you'll be able to say hello to our new little Unity friend inside an example scene included in the package.

    In this example you'll be able to take a look at a basic material setup and understand how to build easily a nice looking material.
    If you want more precisions you can of course take a look at the Dota 2 Workshop !

    I have also in mind to provide an example scene for those who are not friend with programming. You would have to possibility to drop you mesh inside a sample scene, configure your material and then just built and show your great Art to the World.

    Don't forget to rate the package and post review if you liked it, or not... clear.png
    If you have questions or ideas concerning features, feel free to drop us a line at any time.

    Thank you very much !
