Shader Mixer

yandris

Hello,

I want to make the Shader like in the tutorial on YouTube.
But i can not find the Brick "Math 2" or even the "Math 1" brick is not there.
Where to get These Bricks?

thanks

PS: I have the free DAZ Studio4 .5 Pro Version

The names were changed to be more self-explanatory - Math1 is now Unary operation and Math2 Binary Operation.

Math one is Urinary operation... (That's what I THOUGHT I saw :P )

That's the devs taking the piss again.

I had resisted the temptation to post that.

So having looked at the video, it seems that the shadermixer allows you to construct your own customised shader by building up the various elements, right? So how is that different to shader baker?

Richard Haseltine

Shader Baker takes a shader setting, of any kind, and "bakes" its effects onto a set of maps - that makes it usable in other applications, and in the DS preview, at the expense of flexibility. Shader Mixer lets you build a new shader that controls how the surface reacts to light and the camera, or new lights and cameras, that is interpreted on-the-fly when DS renders. Shader Builder has a similar brick-based interface to Shader Mixer, but gives access to the underlying code and produces a final compiled shader which allows for greater customisation and optimisation (if you know how to adjust RSL code, of course).
