                                   the chromatic series 
                           a collection of shadermagic shaders 
                  
they are free to use in any truespace project, personal or commercial, but not for sale as shaders, alone or as in a package set...they are a free contribution to truespace users..enjoy them ,create with them as you see fit, i hope i see them being used at the caligari forum in someone's work in the future..if you use them in commercial endeavors i'd especially like to see your work.

              this is my second attempt at shadermagic so there are still oversights. use the library as a starting point, because thats how i intended them to be used. beyond those uses i hope you find more..
              
                the idea behind them is to simulate the colours that can be in crystal or bevelled glass or give a rainbow shine on glass..might make a great oil slick               
                           
                WARNING..  these shaders can crash truespace ..but when they work they can look great.they can disagree with each other in the same scene..i mainly used one light in my tests ..turning off receive shadows in rendering options helped stability..don't be too close to a light..i used light emitting material at times[ts6]with good results, using  raycatcher to try getting the rainbow of colours on a wall that a prism gives off..elusive, but it was there in early forms of the shaders so it maybe possible with some tweaking..
there is eight similar shaders, a small material library..the sub-components created with Ian Kirkley's digital glazier_open [edgecolour, ianglassmod]...put them in your component folder
        



  these shaders use sub-components made from Ian Kirkley's digital glazier_open..many thanks go out to him for his great shaders. his open shaders have taught me alot about shader building as well as being part of this series..he's an inspiration to us all..thanks again Ian..

                                            hope you like them, gord stanton
