Shader documentation

Recommended Posts

what i would like to see is a more detailed shader documentation. Currently i see the long list of shaders in the material editor but i am really lost and have no clue how to combine them and what information (e.g. number of texture, additional parameter) the shader needs to function properly.

 

A simple grid showing the shader (see sample of another engine below) and the adjustable options does not sound like a lot of work and would help a lot.

In LE3, there's just one .shader file you have to worry about, which will internally specify vert/frag/geom/tess shaders for OpenGL or DX.

 

The material properties will show how many textures should be used, and what they should do, and you will just drag textures onto the thumbnail.

 

I can probably add some shader-defined controls for uniform values.

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
