Further Blender 2.8+ Model Upgrades - Amazonian Edition (Patreon)
Content
More models are in the process of getting new shaders for their rendering engine transition. Here's a new and recent global shader for a particular game:
The v2 shader is an early 2018 relic. The v3 shader is more game accurate, with further visual tuning on the fly and other small details the v2 shader lacked such as specular 'hashes' (the shiny bits on the abs, arms, legs, etc). On top of that, rendering is a lot faster! Keep in mind these numbers only represent one character - a full animated scene in Cycles at 1080p might amount to 30-40+ seconds while the latter falls around 7.
It's a lot of nerd stuff but in summary, visual control is flexible and easy without tinkering with everything under the hood.
Along with new body edits and animation helping features, the shader will gradually be transferred to all characters from the game.
And abs.
