Shader Mixer

• Main Menu Bar : Default Advanced : Window > Panes (Tabs)

The Shader Mixer Pane (Tab) is included in the Advanced and Pro editions of Daz Studio v4.x. Shader Mixer connects a series of bricks to create custom Shaders, forming a shader_network.

Like Shader Builder (WIP), Shader Mixer uses a visual development environment for generating shaders based on the RenderMan® Interface Specification (RISpec) but at a much higher level. Although Shader Builder can integrate Blocks, Shader Mixer simplifies the process and eliminates the need to write code. Shader Mixer “hooks” input and output bricks to another and handles type_conversion and syntax in the background.

Below is a list of interface elements that exist within the Shader Mixer pane.

• Menu Bar
• Shader Preview
• Brickyard
• Properties (WIP)
• Shader Workspace (WIP)
• Option Menu
