A Collection of Cities, Clouds, Fire, Lava, Cheese, Stars and Mountains / Hill shaders created using Parallax / SDF Raymarching for 3D Large scale to infinite Backgrounds or Backdrops or Abstract or Realistic shader renders, at a low resource cost and produces high quality results. Created for Low or High end PCs and compatible at low or high Samples with CYCLES and EEVEE.

WHAT IS THE Parallax / SDF SHADER PACK? 

The shader pack contains nine highly customizable shaders for your Stills Or Animations. Feel free to customize for a variety of projects or ideas.

WHAT ARE SDFs?

A Signed Distance Function (SDF) is a tool used to represent or describe shapes in 3D space. A value is assigned to every point in space based on its distance to the closest surface boundary of the shape. Where positive values are outside the shape and negative values found within. The magnitude of these points indicate their proximity to the nearest surface boundaries.

Now applying this in blender's powerful shader node editor, we created the Parallax / SDF Shaders to assist you to create:

- Fire  

- Clouds

- Lava

- Cubes

- 2D and 3D Stars / Sparkles

- Cheese

- Mountains

- Cities

WHAT IS THE Parallax / SDF SHADER PACK? 

The shader pack contains four highly customizable shaders using Parallax / SDF Ray marching for your Stills Or Animations. Feel free to customize for a variety of projects or ideas. Including, but not limited to

    Large Scale Backgrounds

    Abstract Renders

    Particles or Packed Objects

    Realistic or Stylized Animations

In great detail at a LOW RESOURCE and suitable for LOW OR HIGH POLY GEOMETRY.

Feel free to modify, pull, push and break the shaders to customize further to your personal preferences and learn a few things along the way.

Applying this in blender's powerful shader node editor, we created the SDF Shaders to assist you to create 3D:

Clouds (Smoke ^-^ or Treetops ^-^)

City Skyscrapers

Pāhoehoe Lava

Misty Mountains / Hills

And some new entries;

FIRE

Sparkles (3D and 2D)

Cubes

Cheese

Compatible with EEVEE and CYCLES! 

Thank you very dearly
