This guy sounds like a robot struggling to find which accent he should use to hide his true robotic identity.

I've been learning Unreal. I'm a big fan of the physical shader on that. I plan to learn Unity after Unreal. Its interesting seeing how physics based shading is becoming the industry standard, even with motion graphics.

Why spread every other map out, but then hide the 'smoothness' map in the alpha channel of another texture?

Thanks for the video Unity Technology! I just wanted to say the narrator in this video sounds like the narrator in one of the discovery channels gold shows.

This is actually a really good video! I'll try to work out how to make and use metallic, as well as a few other things, making my objects look nicer.

All I want is a step by step tutorial to import a texture and make it look like it's supposed to look...

[gamesmoothie]

Why there is a slider to control strength of normal map but there is none for specularity/glossiness?

[NikolaZagorac]

wow this actually helped a lot. Thanks Unity :D

[brandonburroughs]

I have to ask! Where did the black texture grid come from and is there a way I can get that? That is extremely useful!

[AlexLusth]

Why no skin shader/SSS node in the standard shader yet?

[brandystarbrite]

Wow!
Interesting!!
Glad you Unity guys posted this vid! :)

Looks good, but it decrease FPS on mobile devices dramatically (in comparison diffuse shader and alpha cutoff)

[Davincar]

Now if they would just expand the shader a bit more. Not supporting imported lightmaps and the ability to pick which UV channel is a bit of a pain, as now we have to write custom shaders to do this. The map supports backed global illumination, so its most of the way there already no?

[ifurkend]

If all previous built-in shaders are now regarded as "legacy", what about the particle shaders like additive and alpha blended? The doc lists those as legacy as well which confuses me.

Where can I download this scene for test materials pls?

[OddBranch]

Don't you need a reflection probe to reflect the surrounding? How did he reflect without a reflection probe in the scene?

[ochgottnochma]

Unity needs some realistic skin shaders.

[Dabayare]

When I went to Unity download page, they had this as a separate download. So how do you guys integrate the folders from this built in shaders download?

[NicolasSilvaVasault]

is the height map only available for directx 11 gpu?

[lyes]

the problem is that my shadows are pixelated
