Ministrider shader

A shader that adds Phong to the URP Lit Shader

Ministrider Shader on a Sphere

The Hunter uses the ministrider shader

You can download the shader here, free usage in all of your projects! (warning, it is a bit messy!)

Accessible Variables

Base Texture (_Base_Texture)

The base texture for the shader.

Normal Map (_Normal_Map)

The normal map for the shader.

Cube Environment Map (_Cube_Environment_Map)

If there isn't anything to reflect, we use this as a default.

Phong Warp Texture (_Phong_Warp_Texture)

The Phong warp texture, gives the shader a sort of iridescence effect.

EnvMap Tint (_EnvMap_Tint)

Tint for the reflection

EnvMap Contrast (_EnvMap_Contrast)

An unused float.

Phong Enable (_Phong_Enable)

An unused float.

Phong Exponent (_PhongExponent)

The exponent for the Phong

Phong Boost (_PhongBoost)

The multiplier for the Phong

Phong Fresnel Ranges (_PhongFresnelRanges)

A float3 vector containing the [X, Y, Z] Fresnel range values

CubeMap Strength (_CubeMap_Strength)

How strong is the reflection?

Warp Strength (_WarpStrength)

Strength of the warp.

Smoothness (_Smoothness)

Smoothness factor for the base shader.

Metallic (_Metallic)

Metallic factor for the base shader.

EmissionTexture (_EmissionTexture)

Texture for the base shader's emission.

EmissionStrength (_EmissionStrength)

Strength of the base shader's emission.

HLSL Code for the Phong part of the shader
