Welcome To ShaderWorks!

Erm... What is ShaderWorks? 

Well ShaderWorks is a collection of skillfully crafted smart nodes build for making anything from your everyday simple shaders to complex and dynamic shaders.

So... what happened to MetalWorks?

ShaderWorks has replaced MetalWorks, MetalWorks although effective, was too limited, not only limited to metal but also the shaders were too subject focused, making them single-case-use shaders which goes against my purpose for these shaders.

Right oke... but what makes ShaderWorks better than MetalWorks or any other shader set?

In short ShaderWorks is now modular, so you can mix and match to get ANY result you want, the new mask nodes are more flexible and will allow you to use personal texture maps, all the nodes are simpler to use, and the results are prettier.

Can I get this cheaper?

Answer is yes! We here at the Blender Market do sales every now and then, just keep an eye out and check out the Blender Market's twitter and your email inbox, sales can be up to 30-50% off.

What if there's a bug?

I'm not gonna lie and say these shaders are guaranteed to work 100% all the time, if you have a bug, or the shaders don't give the result they are supposed to, let us know, bugs don't fix themselves, and we test every scenario/lighting setup

If you have a bug please report it, send us a message explaining the problem along with the blend file. 

(if the bug is in a commercial project's blend file and can't share it, no worries, try to recreate the problem in a neutral blend file and if all fails just send a few screenshots)
