Seven Swords - Using the included shader

NOTE: the shader only works fully in forward rendering

The base/diffuse texture is the same as with most other shaders.

You store the diffuse color texture in the RGB channels. The Alpha

channel of the diffuse texture is used for defining cubemap reflection

strength. White is fully reflective, black is no reflection.

The ramp texture controls how the lighting behaves. From right to left

it defines light to darkness repsectively. The default ramp of the

swords is slightly stepped for instance, to create rougher transitions

between light and dark levels. Should ideally be a 256x2 texture.

NOTE: The ramp texture should also be set to Wrap Mode: Clamp.

The cube reflection is a cube map, which functions as a reflection

texture. The six images/faces of the cube map are reflected on the

model depending on which direction it’s facing.

The cube map strength slider is just a multiplier that controls how

strong the cube reflection is. This is handy if you find that materials

appear overly bright.
