Shader

# input
model(s)

# output
node type(s): [shadingDependNode]

Requirements

• REQ01 MAY use textures from a server resources repository.
• REQ02 MAY use textures from a project resources repository.

Requirements

MODREQ04

MUST have a single uv-set

The default map1

MODREQ07

MUST have correct Shape names.

Which is "{meshTransform}Shape".

MODREQ09

MUST have normal render stats

The double sided, opposite, reflection, refraction attributes.

MODREQ10

MUST have the correct mesh/geometry naming pattern applied.

Eg. _GEO suffix.
