The Better Lit shader 2021 is an improved Lit shader which runs across all render pipelines, and offers a number of multi-layer and procedural techniques to texturing.2021.3LTS required as minimum version, support for URP/HDRP in Unity 2021.3LTS, Unity 2022.3LTS and Unity 6 included.The Better Lit Shader 2021 acts as a replacement for the built In pipleine's Standard, or URP/HDRP Lit shaders with the following features and improvements:NEW in 2021: Unity 2021.3LTS required as minimum versionNEW in 2021: Support for HDRP/URP in Unity 2021.3LTS, Unity2022.3LTS and Unity 6NEW in 2021: Mat Cap lighting models, per texture layer or globaly.NEW in 2021: Parallax Occlusion MappingNEW in 2021: Dither Alpha options for transparentcy on opaque shadersNEW in 2021: Clear Coat mapping in URP/HDRP on every texture layerNEW in 2021: Approximate Sub Surface Scattering for main and all texture layersNEW in 2021: Triplanar Texturing, project a texture from each sideNEW in 2021: Effector system, control effects based on spheres and planes in the worldNEW in 2021: Wireframe RenderingNEW in 2021: Sparkle and Fresnel options on Snow and and every texture layersNEW in 2021: Noise Quality and Noise Space now available per layer instead of globallyNEW in 2021: Fast Metallic Packing, new packing mode for metallic workflowsNEW in 2021: Fourth Texture LayerNEW in 2021: 6 sided gradient projection, for Momument Valley style renderingNEW in 2021: Vertex ColoringNEW in 2021: Variant Stripping System, to speed up builds and reduce build sizeNEW in 2021: URP/HDRP12.x supportNEW in 2021: Baked Lit mode for URPNEW in 2021: Geometric Specular AA for HDRPHDRP style texture packing, or a custom tightly packed texture format for faster shadingTessellation & Parallax SupportCrack Free Tessellation mesh preprocessorStochastic sampling of textures to remove tilingTint Masking, allowing you to colorize 4 separate parts of the main texture layer independently.Full Support for Bakery GPU LightmapperHDRP style Detail TexturingFour additional independent Texture Layers, which can be used as a detail texturing, height blended, or alpha blended, with independent options for Triplanar UVs, Triplanar Texturing, and Stochastic on each layer. These can also be masked via vertex painting, noise functions, and procedural functions, allowing you to create many different effects.MicroShadows and Fuzzy Shading available on every layerUse UV, UV1, Triplanar UV, Triplanar Texturing, or world projections on each texture layerFlat ShadingSingle or Double SidedWetness, automatically integrates with Enviro and Weather MakerPuddles, automatically integrates with Enviro and Weather MakerAutomatic placement of puddles via noise functions and angle filtersSnow system, automatically integrates with Enviro and Weather MakerWind system, for particulate wind over surfacesDissolve Effect, with optional gradient edge w/ optional emissiveTrax integration allows you to leave trails on any material you createVegetation Studio procedural indirect supportSupport for all VR rendering modesGenerate normals directly in the shader to save sampling/memory on low end systems, or use the Surface Gradient framework for higher quality blending.Branch Sampling, to reduce the cost of stochastic and triplanar samplingDebuging mode to visualize actual sample count used by the shaderLOD Dither fadingCustom Material InterfaceOnly uses local keywords, no global keywords addedDocumentationDiscordThe Better Lit Shader 2021 uses only local keywords, and was built with the Better Shaders 2021 framework. Source code in Better Shaders format is included, making it easy to modify if you have Better Shaders installed, and allowing you to stack additional effects on to the shader to easily expand it, or use these effects in your own shaders.Better Lit Shader 2021 requires Unity 2021.3LTS, due to a change in how shader keywords are handled in Unity. For older versions of Unity, the Better Lit Shader is available, with a discounted upgrade to the 2021 version. URP/HDRP support for Unity 2021.3LTS, Unity 2022.3LTS, and Unity 6.
