Question by spraycanmansam · Apr 12, 2013 at 08:42 AM · shaderterraincgsurfacediffuse

CG diffuse shader

Hi there,

I've written a CG shader that's meant as an overlay on top of the existing material, ie: you have your base diffuse/specular/whatever material and then drop my shader material on top. It works great for normal meshes. Problem I have is I need to do this for the terrain as well... At the moment I've written a basic CG version of the terrain shader but I can't seem to copy the lighting of Unity's diffuse surface shader exactly in a CG shader. Could someone point me in the right direction to find a simple diffuse shader written in CG? Or is there an easier way to combine my CG shader with Unity's terrain surface shader? Obviously it would be easier if I could have my shader as a second pass on a replacement terrain shader rather than having to re-write the terrain shader in CG.

Help is much appreciated! :)

Here's my CG terrain shader:

 Shader "Custom/Terrain" {
 Properties {
     _Splat0 ("Layer 1 (R)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _Splat1 ("Layer 2 (G)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _Splat2 ("Layer 3 (B)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _Splat3 ("Layer 4 (A)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _Control ("Control (RGBA)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _MainTex ("Never Used", 2D) = "white" {}
 } 
 
 SubShader {
     Tags {
         "SplatCount" = "4"
         "Queue" = "Geometry-100"
         "RenderType" = "Opaque"
     }
         Pass {
             ZTest LEqual
             Lighting on
             ZWrite on

The diffuse calculation is for one directional light only and is shown in the line that won't format properly no matter what I do. And the lines before and after it.
