Advanced Hair Shaders Package

News:

The package as is works better in 4.x and I am working on an official update for 5.x .

However, I am emailing customers who send me their invoice number what I have so far for 5.x.

So far I have an updated "uber" shader with all the feature and bug fixes from before plus a couple of new added features.
However its not using the new Standard shader stuff yet, so its not using GI or Enlighten etc.

I hope to add that before an official 5.x release !

Look below for a Unity 5 Demo

• (1.005 Not Released ) Uber Shaders, Unity 5 support, new features: Directional Comb Maps, 4 Channel Colorizer, Rim Light, Ambient Occlussion, Skinned Mesh Toggle, Finer Alpha Blend Area control

Description

A collection of shaders focused on making your hairs specularity look more realistic. All shaders will cast and recieve shadows and have controllable transparency.

Aniso_Circular - a simple shader that creats a circular specularity

Aniso_Kajiya - uses the Kajiya-Kay technique for more realistic specularity

Aniso_Scheuermann - Similar to above but also adds 2 shifted highlights

I will try to update this shader package with other hair shaders in the future.

Unity Webplayer Demo Unity 4.x

Unity Webplayer Demo Unity 5.x

Basic usage is like any shader in Unity:

1) Make a new Material

2) Select one of the three shaders from the dropdown of the material:

Advanced Hair Shader Pack\ Aniso Circular

Advanced Hair Shader Pack\ Aniso Kajiya, Aniso Scheuermann

Advanced Hair Shader Pack\ Apply the material to your hair mesh
