What does the splat shader do exactly?

In this example it basicly translates the base colors shown from picture 3. Red will have sand texture repeated and tiled 64 times. Green will have rocksand, and blue will have rock. This way you get nice and detailed ground. It's good for mixing and blending heavily tiled textures.

But there are several ways to do splatting, using alphamap blending or just plain worldnormal slopes or height.

Wow that is pretty impressive. How do you find time to research all these things?

I really like this approach. Damn, wonder if Josh could integrate this into both LE2 and LE3.

 

Nice work Shad(er)mar

wow... simply wow...

Very nice...again, shadmar! You should get a 'Shader Guru' badge!

So, your shader adds a texture per colour? How many colour 'layers' can your shader handle? ?

 

Cheers

Looks great.. I have Bryce 7.1 installed ...I haven't gotten around to making anything with it..

this looks great Shadmar! I've seen similar techniques used in other games (dyes in Guild Wars 2 or Wolfire's Overgrowth)

 

I would love to be able to use it on more than just terrains, and would solve my 'multi-directional textures' problem. Will this shader be available to the public?

Yeah I guess, but it's still kinda wip at the moment.
