| overview =
An advanced [[Hedgehog_Engine_2_-_Physically_Based_Rendering_(PBR)|PBR]] shader that uses [[Texture Blending#Distance blending|distance blending]] to blend between 3 sets of textures.

| behavior =
This shader uses [[Texture Blending#Distance blending|distance blending]] to blend between 3 sets of PBR textures:
* <code>diffuse</code>, <code>diffuse[1]</code> and <code>diffuse[2]</code>
* <code>normal</code>, <code>normal[1]</code> and <code>normal[2]</code>
* The <code>specular</code> texture counts as 3 different textures, each color channel containing the smoothness for a different set.

The specular factor is the same for every set, and the ambient occlusion from the <code>specular</code> texture only gets used for the first set, while the second and third sets don't receive any ambient occlusion.

The shaders <code>DistanceBlend</code> parameter determines at which distance to blend to each texture set:
* <code>X</code> and <code>Y</code> are used to blend to the second set of textures
* <code>Z</code> and <code>W</code> are used to blend to the third set of textures

The third set has priority over the second set, so if the distances are set up so that the third set starts blending in before the second, then the second won't be visible at all.

| vertex colors =
* Color is multiplied into the <code>diffuse</code> texture color
* Alpha is multiplied into the <code>diffuse</code> texture alpha
