1. Shader Fusion - Node based shader editor for Unity (Closed Beta)

   

   Topic by commander_keen · Nov 2009 · Home› Technical Talk

   Shader Fusion is a node based shader editor for the Unity3D game engine. It allows the user to create extremely complex shaders and effects in a flowchart-like environment. Anyone who has used the Unreal Engine 3 material editor or Mayas HyperShade should be very comfortable with it. I have finally got a beta package to…

   nice, i'd suggest to add: * "SinCos(a)" because generating cos and sine of the same input is faster than individuals. And typically you want both for stuff like rotation * "Step(a,b)" allows compares ( a <= b ? 1 : 0) which is really useful. * "Sign(a)" returns -1,0,+1 depending on sign frac = fractional part of a number…

   CrazyButcher, Thanks, I will add those. I will look into nested node networks. A custom input node shouldnt be too hard to do. Davison3D, you can invert using a subtract node and set the A input to 1. but I agree that I should add a OneMinus node. Saturation is something I want to add.

   I hope you can easily fix the bug related to a different language windows version. A node that simply inverts would be a very usefull addition, like oneminus in the unreal editor. And a saturate node would be also very cool.

   This looks sweet, man any chance we can get a node list and so on? I've been toying with the idea of using unity with a friend. I'd love to give it a whirl if I can

   one gets some authorization warnings when opening this thread. maybe you linked to an image in the closed area? a list of "node types" would be nice, as well as "base materials"

   This is seriously cool. I haven't had much time to mess with it because my current project is in the modeling stage. But from what I've done so far, this is is a life saver. Mega props man. Hopefully I'll have some stuff to post soon.

   Cosine and Sine seems broken! Cant get it working. Also alpha blending is bugged, i know that you know that already but just so nobody is wondering here why they cant get it working right.

   Bah I added password protection to my website root :/ Fixed now :P EDIT: Anyone using the beta and has their windows install language set to something besides english will probably have problems loading and saving shaders. This should be fixed soon. EDIT2: fixed the loading and saving problem and send new link to…

    Way to go man! It's something that Unity really needs. Hopefully we can have thumbnails on the textures later on? Great job!
