Rusted Metal Shader From Blender

An article by mgear

rust_texture_unity3d_blender_metal

Converted this Blender rust material shader to Unity surface shader, looks ok..

Created the bumpmap in unity editor (copy rust texture, convert to normal map from grayscale),
had problems trying to do it inside shader (from diffuse texture to o.Normal)..

Progress:
– Founded some info about generating normal maps: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/5714-bumpmap-%28grayscale%29-to-normalmap-%28rgb%29?p=43006#post43006

Don’t use the unity normal maps. Make them in another program, then when you import them, convert them to normals but uncheck ‘create from grayscale’. They’ll look much better.
