Material Editor 2.0

At the moment, the only access to the geometry shader is World Position Offset (and World Displacement, if you turn on Tessellation). But if you want to make stuff like fur shading, which duplicates the model and offsets a translucent texture, there’s no way to do this in the shader. Also, loops would be very helpful so people making parallax occlusion and iterative shaders don’t need to literally build out 25 iterations.

For the old fur shading you are talking about you just need multiple passes. Every pass expanding the model a bit. Don’t need DX11 features for it.

The colours certainly make sense, though I don’t think having the numbers does (since, how do you figure out which pixel you print the numbers for?)
I really love the clean look of the Material Editor, Perhaps just a nice clean identifier as to which type of data is which would be enough in that regard. Re-route nodes are a definite want for me.

I made it using the default blueprint visualization. The numbers are just there to show the defaults. I don’t know what you mean with “how do you figure out which pixel you print the numbers for”. All those numbers are still there right now. In some cases they might be useless, like for example the normal so that could be hidden.
