Return to shaders list

Overview

Shader Behavior Overview

Shader model:

   [2] Standard (PBR)
Does not support:

• Transparent mesh layer
• Noise

An advanced PBR shader that uses distance blending to blend in a detail normal map.

• BlendDetail_dndnd
• BlendDetail_dpndpnn
• Detail_dpndpn
• DirectionBlend_dpndpn
• DirectionBlend_dpndpnn
• DirectionBlend_dpnndpn
• DistanceBlend_dpn

Behavior

Uses distance blending to interpolate

• from the normal texture
• to the normal and normal[1] textures blended together.

The shader uses detailDistance and detailFadeRange from the stage RFL to determine the detail range.

Vertex Colors

• Color is multiplied into the diffuse texture color
• Alpha is multiplied into the diffuse texture alpha
