How do I use Ultimate Lit Shader?

Please find some details below to help understand how to use our material model.

In General

• Base Color must not include baked lighting information (e.g., Ambient Occlusion or Diffuse lighting). ‍
• Metalness must be treated as a binary option. A material is either non-metal or metal. Materials cannot be partially metal. Metalness maps can blend between 0 and 1 to represent subpixel detail or to blend between types of materials at material boundaries (e.g., a layer of dirt that obscures a layer of steel).‍
• Specularity is scaled from [0, 1] specularity to [0, 0.08] reflectance to match real-world values. Real-world values rarely go below 2% reflectance, therefore your specularity typically will never be set below 0.25.‍
• Roughness represents the perceived smoothness or roughness of the material. A perfectly smooth material will have a roughness of 0. A perfectly rough material will have a roughness of 1.

For Non-Metals

• Base Color should typically be constrained to the following RGB range; [0.15, 0.94] (RGB 0 - 1.0), or [40, 240] (RGB 0 - 255).
• Metalness should always be set to 0.
• Specularity should typically be set to 0.5. The specularity range of [0, 1] corresponds roughly to an Index of Refraction range of [1.0, 1.8].

For Metals

• Base Color should typically be constrained to the following RGB range: [0.5, 1.0] (RGB 0 - 1.0), or [127, 255] (RGB 0 - 255).
• Metalness should always be set to 1.
• Specularity is not used. Instead, specularity is set directly from the Base Color of the metal.

Where can I find material information to use with this PBR Shader?

Physically Based includes a set of material reference data. You can also use models from the Unity Asset Store, from Polyhaven, Sketchfab, or your favorite 3d model resource.

Do you have a material spec sheet for this asset?

Yes. Please find the material spec sheet included here:

Does Ultimate Lit Shader receive decals?

Yes.

Is Ultimate Lit Shader compatible with Ambient Occlusion?

Yes.

What properties are available to edit in this shader?

Render face, receive shadows, base color map, base color, metalness map, metalness, roughness map, roughness, specularity, normal map, normal strength, ambient occlusion map, ambient occlusion strength, emission map, emission color, and tiling and offset.

Does this shader support Transparent / Translucent surface types?

Not at this time. This shader has been designed to render opaque objects only.
