Shaders

RealWater is a photo-realistic water shader for Cycles that packs the power of advanced volumetric shading and improved refraction into one easy-to-use package.

RealWater is engineered to reflect large bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and ponds, but it can be used for much more. That includes Jell-O, fogged glass, and slime!

RealWater comes with the RealWater node, a node-based breakdown of the refractive and volumetric shaders, and a color palette for red, yellow, green, and blue tinted waters.

Color: The color of the water volume.
Roughness: The roughness of the water surface.
Density: The density of the water volume.
Anisotropy: The tendency for the volume to seek light.
IOR: The refractive index of the water surface.
Normal: The usual vector normals you get on any shader.

Procedural 4 is an extensive pack of procedural textures, materials, and utility nodes that can be used in any project. If you can imagine it, you can create it with Procedural 4.

Procedural 4 boasts an impressive total of 25 nodes split up into 3 categories:

• 9 multi-use procedural textures
• 9 handy procedural utility nodes
• 7 fully procedural materials

It even includes nodes for procedural planet and volumetric cloud generation!

PBR² is a fully-implemented surfacing shader built for physically based rendering (PBR).

That’s not all though! PBR² offers additional parameters that give artists artistic control over any project that they are working on.

• Surface Color: The albedo/diffuse color of the surface of the material.
• AO: Ambient occlusion.
• AO Strength: Strength multiplier for ambient occlusion.
• Surface Roughness: Roughness of the surface of the material.
• Surface Normal: Normal vector of the surface of the material.
• Metallic: Metallic areas of material.
• Rim Color: Effects the fresnel color on the edge of metallic materials.
• Rim Strength: Effects the strength of the rim color.
• SSS Color: Color of the SSS shader.
• SSS Strength: Strength of the SSS shader.
• SSS Texture Blur: Texture blurring properties of the SSS shader.
• Clearcoat Roughness: Roughness of the clearcoat on top of the material.
• Clearcoat Reflectivity: Opacity/strength of the clearcoat.
• Clearcoat Normal: The normal vector of the clearcoat.
• Transparency: Mixes in transparency with the material.
• IOR: Index of refraction for refractive materials.
• Displacement: The physical displacement of the material.
• Displacement Strength: Strength multiplier for displacement.
