Character is a material shader available in 
. Shares most generic parameters of VertexLitGeneric. Takes advantage of mask textures to tune stuff like rimlighting, phong shading and other.
Tip:It might be a good idea to look at Valve vmts of new Player Models inside the vpk files, to get better understanding how to structure your Character shader vmt.
