✨ Feature Highlights​

🎨 Multiple Shading Styles​

BoBiCo Shader comes with six built-in shading modes: Flat, Multilayer, Texture Ramp, Shade Map, Realistic, and Fur.

Every shading mode also supports Wrap Shading, allowing you to easily achieve different lighting styles without switching to another shader.

🪟 Flexible Rendering Modes​

Supports Opaque, Cutout, and Transparent rendering pipelines, alongside advanced transparency techniques such as Dither Alpha, Alpha-to-Coverage, and Fresnel Alpha.

The shader intelligently reuses existing alpha channels whenever possible, reducing the need for dedicated masking textures.

💡 Full Lighting Support​

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the S&box lighting pipeline, supporting Direct Lighting, Indirect Lighting, Light Probes, and DDGI.

Lighting transitions adapt naturally to the environment while preserving the intended visual style.

🎛️ Extensive Material Customization​

Build highly customizable materials using dual main color layers, built-in decal tools, normal maps, emission, matcaps, and a large collection of color adjustment controls.

Whether you're creating stylized or realistic materials, the shader provides plenty of flexibility without becoming difficult to use.

✨ Stylized Effects​

Enhance your visuals with built-in features including MatCaps, Inverted Hull Outlines, Glitter Effects, and several additional NPR-oriented rendering options.

⚙️ Physically Based Rendering​

Every shading mode except Fur supports a complete PBR workflow, including advanced material parameters and flexible multi-channel controls for fine-tuning surface appearance.

🚀 Advanced Features​

BoBiCo Shader also includes support for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), Parallax Occlusion Mapping, Self Shadowing, Subsurface Scattering, Fur Rendering, and many other advanced rendering techniques
