Superdetail Scifi Shader

by NM-8 in Surfacing


  

Superdetail scifi shader is a sophisticated procedural shader
that combines paneling and greeble in one clever
parallax occlusion mapped nodesetup.
It will adapt to your lowpoly mesh and add enourmous detail

  • save modeling time
  • save noding time
  • save render time
  • save memory

  • Heavy math for parallax depth
    The greeble texture is resembling mecahnical details of classic scifi ship designs.
    Set its depth and selfshadowing to achieve enormous detail even on low poly meshes.


    Complex layering for versatile realism
    The greeble textures also have small windows, which are lit,
    so that even in dark scenarios there is enough plasiticity to see the shape of your ship.
    Panels cover the greeble according to mesh curvature and normals dynamically.
    Adjust the masking with one slider to your pleasing. 
    As final touch the parallax depth generates selfshadowing,
    so that even low poly meshes score with realistic detail-shading.
    You can set the direction of this fake shadow, in order to match your sunlights direction.


    weathering and dirt

    According to the textures and mesh data you can add dirt onto the surface,
    leading to an even more realistic and used look.




    customize with your own textures
    You can use your own greeble texture with their displacement and emission!
    The according nodegroup is located right next to the shader in the node editor for quick access.

    About the Creator: 

    I am 3D artist in the advertising & television industry for 27 years.

    While working on projects and teaching animation at design college since 1998, i studied physics at the university of vienna.
    That equipped me with a solid toolset of math to use in 3D workflows.

    I started programming Blender addons and noding vector operations into shaders around 2012.
    I love how Blender and Cycles offer a lot of opportunities to speed up rendering and fake depth into surfaces in many ways.

    • $29 FullPack

      This Pack includes three different shaders for huge vessels and small fighterjets. The Fighterjet sahder exposes more parameters and has a menu to place cockpit windows with lit interiour shading.

    • $14 Simple

      This Pack includes the simple shader for highly detailed low poly mesh shading. Upgrade to the full pack later on, as only the price difference will be charged automatically.
