Bonjorno7: /* Integrating in your mod */

Physically based rendering shader. Source code is available at: https://github.com/thexa4/source-pbr

== Parameters ==
* $basetexture - The albedo texture
* $normaltexture - The normal map
* $mraotexture - A texture with the metalness on the red channel, roughness on the green channel and ambient occlusion on the blue channel.
* $envmap - Must be set to "env_cubemap"
* $pbrlookup - Must be set to "dev/pbr_lookup"
* $surfaceprop - One of the following: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$surfaceprop
* $model - Should have a value of "1" if the texture is used on a prop.
* $translucent - Setting this to "1" enables alpha blending.
* %keywords - A list of keywords separated by commas, should contain 'empires' as first element. Examples of keywords are: architectural,brown,gray,grime,hanger,industrial,metal,modern,shed,urban,wall,floor
* $basetexturetransform - Looks like this: "center 0.5 0.5 scale 0.1025 0.1025 rotate 0 translate 0 0" for a 2m by 2m texture.

== Example ==
"PBR"
{
"$basetexture" "mymod/newtexture_albedo"
"$normaltexture" "mymod/newtexture_normal"
"$mraotexture" "mymod/newtexture_mrao"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$pbrlookup" "dev/pbr_lookup"
"$surfaceprop" "metal"
}

== Integrating in your mod ==
The shader is built on top of the [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/ Base SDK github code]. If you continued working on top of that and still use git, you can merge in this change: https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/
<br>
You have to start the game with the -forceallmips startup parameter for rough materials to look good.

== Mapping ==
* You have to start hammer with a -game <yourmod> startup parameter. You can add this by editing 'bin/Hammer.bat'
* Make sure cubemaps are on on 128x128 or higher (default in Empires)
* The shader works with the Unreal Engine format of https://gametextures.com
