MaterialX adds support for Slang Shader generation!

The Slang team at The Khronos Group is excited to announce a collaborative milestone: the MaterialX project now includes a dedicated Slang shader generator. MaterialX describes complex, hardware-agnostic look-development data. This integration positions Slang as a critical bridge for open-standard material interoperability

The F82 tint values are usable in Blender Cycles with the Metallic BSDF. It’s also the specular tint model used in OpenPBR.

https://physicallybased.info/ just got updated with:
- New metals
- F82 tint values for all metals
- Reflectance values
- Copy Unreal Snippet for light sources

Also briefly tried to generate videos with ffmpeg. Here's one of the tests with a #materialx episode

New Github PR to #ThreeJS that adds much improved #MaterialX support.

New nodes & properties supported: thin film, sheen, transmission, rotate, determine, inverse, floor, reflect, refract, opacity, specular, anisotropy, etc...

Needle supporting ShaderGraph to three.js is coming

For Needle Engine, vanilla three AND react-three-fiber

I continuously update the database at https://api.physicallybased.info and the website at https://physicallybased.info

Some of the recent updates include:
- New materials
- New cameras (now also with resolutions)
- New light sources
- More accurate complex IOR values for metals
- Nicer display of references, with more info
- Started work on API v2

#QuiltiX Python QtWebEngine to #glTF #ThreeJS transfer via local storage is up running now for the glTF plugin. Next up is zip (vs glb) transfer for zipped #MaterialX assets to/from desktop/web and for material library server downloads.

Work begins on adding JSON and #glTF #MaterialX interop features to #QuiltiX thanks to work with folks there to add in a new plug-in API.

Spent my afternoon delving into the #materialx api! Interested to see what I can do with it.

Sharing the new Standard Shader Ball from the USD Assets Repo. This is a well-built shader ball for lookdev, and includes some neat features to help your shader creation process. ✨

Today I found that there is a library of almost 500 high quality PBR MaterialX materials from #amd for free!

https://matlib.gpuopen.com/main/materials/all

Pretty neat thing, can (and should) be used in games and any kind of rendering.

I also implemented a small tool that allows download all lib with just one command - you will find source code, executable, and an instruction here -> https://github.com/ArtemkaKun/AmdMatlibDownloader

Are there any recent developments in MaterialX (+ USD graph) support in Blender? Trying to plan a bit into the future.

This is the only official thing I could find: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/100894 and its a bit inconclusive.

Just concluded the most productive two weeks of my career so far.
And I found, logged, and fixed a small crash bug in #MaterialX on the side (over the weekend).
My first open source contribution😌 (it’s about bloody time!)
#AchievementUnlocked
Feeling grateful!
