Lets study shadergraph together...

Megalomaniak

...by sharing bite sized examples of things we have figured out.For an example here's how you get a texture to tile via UV Coordinates:[center][img width=424 height=257]https://picload.org/image/rggddapd/tilingtexture.png[/img][size=8pt]simple enough.[/size][/center]Or how about getting a specific texture form an atlas and tile it:[center][img width=536 height=242]https://picload.org/image/rggddapo/tilingatlas.png[/img][size=8pt]first texture starting from top-left in the atlas.[/size][/center][center][img width=680 height=260]https://picload.org/image/rggddapc/tilingatlas2.png[/img][size=8pt]and the one underneath it along V.[/size][/center]Post what you've found!

Yes, it is such a little treasure in the Godot, I only tried to animate the uv, for clouds or water, I must learn more the shadergraph :)Thanks for sharing!...so I was wondering still, I'm sure you would do the night/day cycle with shadergraph,I must to somehow try :)

I have been trying that since 1.0 and I am about to give up. Mainly you would just have a skydome object follow your player, but animating it via shaders may be more trouble than it is worth.Twinkling stars, however, would be easier and nice looking. I might just try to swap cubemaps at different times of the day.Outputting a screenshot or several every second or so to a side of a cubemap, or maybe using 360 different images per side (there would be some overlap, every 5 minutes for 24 hours) ... maybe if I could take a non-active camera and modify (or set) the resolution of its output. Minecraft's flat cloud layer might just follow the player, or something like the Dark Cloud games, getting a skydome to follow the player is easy, but it might shudder depending on how fast it updates. Could I rotate an image before applying it to a cube map? Maybe just change sky color and let the player deal.Sorry, rambling; maybe you'll find something interesting in my madness.Also for tiling textures, you need to open the texture in Godot and set it for tiling (or you get funky stuff).

A question for the round table...Which of the input and output node's plug's/options do you find the least self-explanatory/most confusing? I'm thinking of tackling those next but unsure which might most confuse newbies.[quote author=PlanetKiller link=topic=14466.msg14595#msg14595 date=1459872456]Also about the sky (day night) If you are in 3D; good luck.

Dawn, Noon, Evening & Night. Time determined by a fairly simple 'state-machine' and a custom time-counter.

Sorry for being gone for so long, have been busy dealing with a lot of personal life stuff. Some of it is still taking up my time but at least I found some time to mess a little more with shaders again. So here's a simple "pseudo-random" procedural noise I found on stack exchange(thanks go out to user Grumdrig there): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12964279/whats-the-origin-of-this-glsl-rand-one-liner <img src="http://picload.org/image/rrprwaar/godot_somenoisefromstackexchan.jpg" alt="">

And here's the graph for procedural checkers(and the noise tree is still visible at the bottom too): <img title="Image: http://picload.org/image/rrpdgdwg/godot_proceduralcheckers.jpg" src="http://picload.org/image/rrpdgdwg/godot_proceduralcheckers.jpg" alt=""> And to help understand how these are produced: They both derive from the UV input since it gives me 2 gradient's local to the object(space) to work with. 1 for X axis and one for the Y. For the checkers I just round the gradients to get black and white steps out of them. :)

Trinketos

Prosedual Textures, right?

Megalomaniak

The last three examples? yes. I wish we had groups for shader-graph would make it easier to develop complex shaders and easily share them.

And an instance iterator node/graph. that would be awesome.

Trinketos

a terrain shader would be great, maybe for 3.0 xD

Megalomaniak

Yeah, I'm definitely interested in doing that, but the builds of 3.0 I've tried so far don't really work for me yet under windows 7, will probably build a completely new workstation with Ryzen in a couple of months and will be using linux so might be able to test 3.0 then.

Trinketos

I have the same problem to whit godot 3.0
