UnlitTwoTexture

• Two base textures are multiplied together and can be transformed independently. (Just like the Multiply blending mode in typical image editors.)
• Unrelated to WorldVertexTransition, which is used for making alpha fading transitions between two base textures on displacements.

Confirm:Does this Shader work on brushes?

Parameters

Todo: Does this Shader work with $color and/or $color2?

$texture2 Second Texture that is used in different ways depending on which effects are used.
By default $basetexture will be multiplied with $texture2.

Note:First texture is applied via $basetexture.

$texture2transform $frame2
$beachfoam

Important:This parameter is intended to be used with $additive.

On the Dangerzone Wave Model, both $texture2 and $basetexture use the 'Beachwaves' Texture.

Todo: Do both Parameters need to use the same Texture?

The 'Beachwaves' Texture uses the RGB channels for different purposes.

Todo: Find a better Name for the Texture...

• Red Channel : Waves Albedo Texture

Todo: Can this be tinted using $color/$color2?

• Green Channel : Distortion/Noise for the Red Channel
• Blue Channel : Distortion/Noise for the Red Channel

Todo: Further documentation required.

$CrosshairMode $texture2 is used for a framebuffer texture.
The result will be blended between Crosshair Texture + CrosshairTint and Crosshair Texture * CrosshairTint using Average Luminance of $texture2 * $CrosshairColorAdapt $CrosshairTint $CrosshairColorAdapt
