Summary

Version 7.2.0 adds a new Snow Coverage shader

Unity.Hakqrhagsh.mp4

New Shaders

• Snow Coverage: A PBR shader with snow overlay support
  • Comes in 2 versions: Regular and Tessellated
    • Regular version allows you to define a direction the snow should appear from, controls for how covered the object is, and various masking options
    • Tessellated version extends the above to add support for 3D snow piles created by subdividing and deforming the mesh via shader
      • This version will be a noticeable performance hit on lower-end hardware, but is very viable on VR-capable Desktop GPUs

Bugfixes

• The Shader Parser no longer fiales to parse a module if it includes tabs
• Fixed an issue where combining particular modules could break functionality
  • E.g. combining VRCLV and Depth Fade would result in depth fade not working

Changes

• Special - this is a new sub-section of the ORL Shaders list, along with VFX and Toon. Anything that is tailored to a super narrow scenario that wouldn't be considered a pure VFX will go here from now on
  • Technically things like Neon Light and Puddles would also fall into this category, but to avoid breaking changes - I will not be touching those
• %Vector2() and %Vector3() drawers now show the property name
  • This addresses #109
• Added a number of textures for the snow glitter as a part of the generator package
• Updated Depth Fade module to work more reliably with every shader type
• The "Toon" and "Empty Toon" shader templates (under Create -> Shader -> orels1 menu) now use Toon v2 lighting model
  • Also added "Toon Transparent" and "Toon Transparent PrePass" templates for faster development
• Added a built-in SDF library with some simple SDF functions and smooth min operations
  • Shapes: Circle, Box, Rounded Box, Rhombus
    • Available as SDF<ShapeName>, e.g. SDFRoundedBox()
  • Smooth Mins: Exponential, Quad, Cube, and Quart
    • Available as SDFMin<Type>, e.g. SDFMinCube(dist1, dist2, smoothing)
• Dramatically removed variant counts of all shaders by reducing fog keywords
  • This uses a technique from Poiyomi Toon Shader (MIT Licensed)
