Csgo Environment

Csgo Environment is a simple shader in Counter-Strike 2, intended for being used on world geometry. Page is loosely organized based on how it appears in Material Editor.

Todo: Cleanup, document, and organize.

Material Variables

Material1

Color

• Color (Image Input) - Diffuse color texture for this layer. Typically you will want to remove any baked in lighting information from this texture.
  • Image Suffix: _color

Tint Mask

• Tint Mask (Image Input) - Grayscale mask texture that controls which areas should be color tinted. Black = no tinting. White = full tinting. You can specify the color tint directly using the 'color tint' attribute in the material - or more usefully use the 'color' attribute in Hammer to adjust the color tint on a per-instance basis.
  • Image Suffix: _mask

Lighting

• Normal (Image Input)
  • Image Suffix: _normal
• Roughness (Image Input)
  • Image Suffix: _rough
• Ambient Occlusion (Image Input)
  • Image Suffix: _ao
• Metalness (Image Input) - Controls color tinting of the specular highlites. The tint color is based on the underlying diffuse color texture. Typically used for metal materials but is useful on all surfaces when used sparingly.
  • Image Suffix: _metal

Height

• Height (Image Input)
  • Image Suffix: _height
