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 set of detail textures.

• DistanceBlend_dpn

Behavior

Uses distance blending to interpolate

• from the first set of textures
• to the first set of texture with the second set of texture blended into them.

Each of the second textures is blended into the first differently:

Texture property	blend method
Albedo	Uses detail blending
Transparency	Not blended
Specular	Not blended
Roughness	Uses detail blending
Metallic	Addition; Remaps the detail metallic to a range of -1 to 1 beforehand
Ambient Occlusion	Multiplication
Normal	Uses normal blending

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
