Materials and Shaders

This is the big list for free materials and shaders.

Materials for particular free figures, wardrobe items, props, and scenes are listed with those free resources. Materials for particular hairdos are listed on their own page.

Other materials and shaders are listed here, under "Other Links".

Eventually, we'll split this page into smaller, more specific lists. (The obvious possibility is three pages: materials, Poser shaders, and Daz Studio shaders.)

 * Willbear 3DL Terrain Shader
 * This 3DL shader for Daz Studio has two layers, the default and then a set of 'top' channels mixed based on Normals. Minimum and Maximum Slope define the range over which the surface switches from the regular layer to the top layer. The 'top' layer will appear on the surfaces facing upward, while the rest appears along the sides (or underneath the object). A value of 1 faces upward, 0 sideways, and -1 downward. The broader the range between minimum and maximum, the gentler the transition. Feel free to plug in whatever textures you want. Presets and some basic terrain textures are provided to start you out.
 * https://www.sharecg.com/v/89313/


 * Working Digital Clock Texture
 * Poser. The texture file 'white countdown.jpg' and python script DigitalClock.py should be in the same folder. Don't forget to refresh the materials folder in the library palette, so the new Digital Clock folder will show up.
