Assets + Accessories Custom Shader - Satin

A custom shader for woven fabrics / satin / silk that allows for varying levels of sheen and softness

How to use:

This is a Custom Shader which must be loaded using one of the following plugins:

• CustomShaderLoader: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/custom-shader-loader.56671/
• CustomShaderLoaderAlt: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/customshaderloaderalt.65067/

The simplest way to try it out is to load the CustomShaderLoader plugin on a Person atom directly, load the Satin_Shader assetbundle and its shader properties, and select the cloth to receive the effect in the Loader plugin.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot have more than one version of this shader, otherwise the loader may throw an error. When updating the shader, please delete previous versions from you AddonPackages and restart VAM.

Demo:



Supported VAM properties (in Customize Cloth UI)

• _Specular
• _Shininess (Gloss) -> Maps to _Sheen a new overall sheen / specular intensity multiplier.
• _Fresnel
• _Alpha
• _Colors, _Textures, etc.

New Shader Properties (in CustomShaderLoader plugin)

• _AnisotropyDirection – rotate the anisotropy axis between tangent and bitangent.
• _Anisotropy (-1 … +1) – stretch of the highlight.
• _Smoothness (0-1) – primary roughness control (multiplied by gloss texture).
• _Translucency - Controls how far light can pass through the cloth (1 = more translucent)
• _BackLightAttenuation - Related to Translucency, determines how much light is allow to wrap around
• _Edge Opacity - Useful for semi-transparent clothes to simulate a more opaque edge effect
• _Edge Power - Related to Edge Opacity, how strong the edge effect will be (0 = strong)
• _Opaque - When toggled on, treats the cloth as Opaque and prevents light from affecting internal surfaces

Known Limitations:

• The shader does not cast shadow.
• If the effect is not strong enough, removing the Gloss and Specular textures may help, and use a Gloss value greater than zero as well as a color.
