Advanced Hair Shaders Package

 

 

News:

The package as is works better in 4.x and I am working on an official update for 5.x .

However, I am emailing customers who send me their invoice number what I have so far for 5.x.

So far I have an updated "uber" shader with all the feature and bug fixes from before plus a couple of new added features.
However its not using the new Standard shader stuff yet, so its not using GI or Enlighten etc.

I hope to add that before an official 5.x release !

Look below for a Unity 5 Demo

 

 

Versions:

  • 1.003 Initial Release (Sept 2013)
  • 1.004 Update Release (Dec 2013) Better mobile support, Direct3d 11 support, Normal mapped versions, Skyshop integration example, Correct double sided version, no-alpha or tube shading support
  • (1.005 Not Released ) Uber Shaders, Unity 5 support, new features: Directional Comb Maps, 4 Channel Colorizer, Rim Light, Ambient Occlussion, Skinned Mesh Toggle, Finer Alpha Blend Area control

 

 

Description

 

A collection of shaders focused on making your hairs specularity look more realistic. All shaders will cast and recieve shadows and have controllable transparency.

Aniso_Circular - a simple shader that creats a circular specularity

Aniso_Kajiya - uses the Kajiya-Kay technique for more realistic specularity

Aniso_Scheuermann - Similar to above but also adds 2 shifted highlights

I will try to update this shader package with other hair shaders in the future.
