--------- Hello Cinema community!
Now I start working on Cinema UI integration with my shader system. Many things are clear and thanks for that to developers! But there is one issue: When I write
SHADERLINK ID_BSDF_SHADER { }
it then displays as shown on the Figure 1 : http://www.dropbox.com/s/h7f6dzfgwx4b6j4/005.jpg?dl=0
Based on Cinema's ShaderData class I have created a shader of my custom type "engineBSDF" (which has many parameters similar to the concept of Cinema material). I have also created "engineMaterial" based on Cinema's MaterialData class (which has many layers which can be of only engineBSDF type). And only this engineMaterial can be applied to scene objects.
In the res file corresponding to engineMaterial I have written several SHADERLINKs that are supposed to be used to connect engineBSDF as layers to engineMaterial. But SHADERLINK produces in GUI 3 clickable buttons:
What flags for SHADERLINK should I use and how?
Thanks a lot!

I don't think you can change the gui exhibited as it is. You won't get around creating your own customgui or datatype for this.

Hi Katachi,
After digging a lot I can conclude it seems to be so. But dynamic tabs that can be done inside material interface make reaching my target possible: implementing many layers for material. It is also quite convenient too.

Hello,
actually it is possible to only display the popup button of the SHADERLINK parameter. This is done by setting the "POPUP_ONLY" flag
SHADERLINK MY_SHADER { CUSTOMGUI SHADER; POPUP_ONLY;}
best wishes, Sebastian

Thanks for the info Sebastian! Didn't know that. It would be so great if all these resource flags were documented..

At least you can use ResEdit for it.

Oh, great! Thanks, Sebastian and Niklas! Please, can you also show a link with tutorial on how to install and use ResEdit?
