Material Creation

Counter-Strike 2 has many new shaders that all fit specific use cases.

Common Counter-Strike 2 Shaders

Todo: If you're gonna copy a page to document an undocumented shader, I recommend starting from Csgo Complex as it's easier to remove than add. It's also the more organized shader.

• Csgo Complex - Usually used on props, or materials that need to be emissive.
• Csgo Environment - The goto material for world textures.
• Csgo Environment Blend - Used to blend two materials together.
• Csgo Glass - Shader to use on most glass surfaces.
• Csgo Static Overlay - Used to overlay textures on level geo.
• Csgo Foliage - Used for leafy materials.
• Csgo Simple 3layer Parallax - Used for a parallax effect on flat surfaces.
• Csgo Water Fancy - Water
• Sky - The sky.
