Next-Gen Shader Helper Plugin

Changing the shaders manually for each character card and for each accessory and clothing takes a lot of time. Here comes this plugin.

A Customizable shader auto changer plugin. It automatically changes various shaders on the characters silently. Comes with the config that can be easily customized. The plugin changes the shaders silently in non-destructive way - it means it's not changes the card's data, or game files.

Changes gets reverted back when the plugin is switched off. All changes happens in runtime.

HOW TO USE

All you need is to put the plugin Into BepinEx folder and make sure you have the latest Clothing Shaders for MatEditor installed.

You'll have a Swap Mode options in the F1 plugin settings menu:

Option #1 - Next Gen (Default)

• Changes all clothing & accessory, body, face and eye shaders. Why you should use my cloth shaders in the first place? The original AIT shaders have some downscales - it misses the Deferred Pass, which makes some various Post Processing effects works incorrectly. For example GTAO, Amplify AO, SEGI, SSR, ShinySSRR.

Option #2 - Toon

• Changes all shaders to Toon shader variants. You will required to have Toon Shaders.zipmod.

Option #3 - None

• Not performs any changes. You will see the shaders of the original card data.

If you change the options you should reload the character, clothing, costume card or scene to see the effect.

OPTIONAL

• You can edit the NXTGShaderSwapperConfig.xml file in the BepInEx/config folder manually. For example you can remove or add new shaders swap instructions.
