Hey everyone!

First off, the Shader Sandwich sale was a huge success, and it's been great having so many positive comments and feedback :). Some users have a found some bugs, so I'll be releasing a patch soon that fixes them all.

I've had a few users request shaders, so I'll link to them here :). Here are the ones used in the Stylized Character example:

Skin Shader
Hair Shader

And here a few other miscellaneous ones :)
Burn Shader
Shell Based Fur Shader

I'm thinking of creating a shader repository somewhere on the site, so users can share shaders they make. I might also add a browser for these shaders in Shader Sandwich itself, so you can just download a shader and customize it all within the editor!
I've also been going around and updating the documentation, all the new features have been added. I'm now turning my attention towards tutorials, already finished the Beginner Tutorial Part 2 :).

So, other than all that I've been upgrading the Checklist, you'll probably not notice much of a difference other than instead of checkboxes there are sliders, but on my end I can add and edit tasks much easier than previously, meaning the entire thing will be more accurate.

Finally, I'm planning on making short films more often, so I thought it'd be a good investment to get a new lens (especially with how well Shader Sandwich sold during the sale). I've bought a Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM which has been fantastic to use. It's got some fantastic looking shallow depth of field, and it's low f-stop will really help in low-light situations.


Two of the video projects I have going are a short thriller that I'll be making with a few classmates from drama, along with a VFX based video about a tiny martian ship trying to steal my fruit (got to fix those reflections...):


So yeah, soon I'll have another Shader Sandwich update coming out, a couple of short films and more. Life is pretty busy, but I think it's going to be fun :).
