[HS] NewDLCshader explained and discussion

Greetings:

The new DLC for HS contains a couple of good new shaders. I am going to talk about  PBRsp_3mask, PBRsp_3mask_alpha, PBRsp_3mask_uv  respectively.

After installed New DLC you can find those shader from  Illusion\HoneySelect\abdata\mat_cha_15.unity3d.

How to apply new shader to your items:

 I am going to use  PBRsp_3mask_uv as an example to illustrate the method.

Make sure to grab the latest SB3Utility here, before start following my guild.

My 1.6.4 version mirror  for people can't get it from ASF.

• 1. Use SB3Utility to open  Illusion\HoneySelect\abdata\mat_cha_15.unity3d  
• 2. Select those 3 shaders from below
• 

• 3. Click mark for copying
• 

• 4. Open your file that you want to add the shaders, click paste
• 

• 5. After saving your file, double click on the animator you want to edit. Locate Material you want to alter.
• 

• 6.  Chose the shader you want to use.
• 

Differences between those 3 are:

•  PBRsp_3mask  is 2 colorable area shader, no transparency and effect.
• ..._alpha is the same but with transparency, no special effect.
• ..._uv is the same but with special effect, I believe no transparency.

• 7. Create a Colormask file prior to selecting it here.  My tester is here 
• 

• 8. Save again. Launch the game to see effects.

ColorMask explanations (Asterisk* indicate not fully tested)

• Black    :  Primary colorable area. Highlight and glossy slider available. Options :  color_2*, spec_2*, detailnormal_2* 
• Green  :  Secondary colorable area. Only glossy slider available in game. Options :  color_3, spec_3, detailnormal_3
• Blue      :  Predefined color area.  Very useful for metal surface shinning. Options :  color_4, spec_4, detailnormal_4* 
• Red       :  Effect area, primarily for UV scrolling. Moving water and magic. Options :  color*, spec*, detailnormal

Special Effect Note: 

You can change UVScroll RGB value to define the direction and the speed of this special effect. RGB map to XYZ in the game. For example. -0.1 at R value will make it go like my gif image. A value still unknown.

EffectMap can be anything you want. Illusion new DLC use a cloud texture to do magic book effect and magic shield effect. The texture can be found in the same file with the shaders. 

The other 3 colors are a mix of the primary colors. You can use those for a mix of the functions.  For example if you want an area to be secondary colorable and have UV scrolling, you color that area with yellow in Colormask.

• Yellow = Red + Green :  Special Effect +   Secondary Color. Colorable effect.
• Cyan = Blue + Green :  Predefined Color + Secondary Color. No use?
•  Magenta = Red + Blue : Special Effect + Predefined Color. Liquid metal?
