bnpr / beer Goto Github PK

Requested feature below:

It would be cool if I could load the BEER layers by clicking on the material on the right.

I'm still not sure how I can load the layers of a BEER material that is not assigned to an object, for now i guess i can just temporarily assign it to something.

i installed beer but it didn't do anything

i have trouble instling it in blender 3.3 what to do

I was able to download and install, however the latest version didn't come with Shader examples for me to select from, is that supposed to be downloaded separately?

amd 3700x

windows 10 64
blender 3.1.2
malt 1.0.0.beta

1 error in preprocessor.

when I install BEER I only see malt stats. but I heard

but I heard that BEER offer some menu for layering
do I extract the Pygments or beer to the wrong folder ?

Currently I used it blender 2.83

I noticed that when I try to use a Malt material that uses global variables that aren't referenced in some type of get method, these variables are dropped in new BEER materials.

#include "Pipelines/NPR_Pipeline.glsl"

uniform vec3 ambient_color = vec3(0.1,0.1,0.1);
uniform vec3 diffuse_color = vec3(1.0,0.1,0.1);
uniform vec3 specular_color = vec3(1.0,1.0,1.0);
uniform float roughness = 0.5;

uniform vec3 line_color = vec3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
uniform float line_width = 1.0;
uniform float line_depth_threshold = 0.5;
uniform float line_normal_threshold = 1.0;

void COMMON_PIXEL_SHADER(Surface S, inout PixelOutput PO)
{
   ...
}

All of these global variables show up as settings to be edited in a Malt material:

But are dropped in BEER Materials when used in a layer:

Unrelated, it would be cool if we had some way to rename the prefix used for the material settings (beergen1, beergen2, beergen#) don't offer much context as to what layer the settings belong to.

Edit:
I just noticed that all of these variables show up in alphabetical order in both Malt and BEER so maybe that's why it's prefixed the way it currently is?? if that is the case could a different label be used like beerlayer# or blayer# or even better blayer#__layername, (can layers be given names?) (edit: i think i should be able to edit the name via the UI layer panel but double clicking to rename does nothing)
