Quick Shader Swapping and My Settings
You need: ShaderManagementTool by Haruka. If you're using Koikatsu Sunshine, get this version instead. KKS_ShaderManagementTool
My scenes are built around KKUTS Shader. So unless you want to change everything aside from the characters/animation, then I recommend to use KKUTS. That said, it is surely tedious to change shader everytime. But with the help of "ShaderManagementTool", you'll at most spend only a minute or less per characters. SMT is a bit buggy. Although the main functions works fine, so it's still very helpful.
-First download the scene below which contains my shader setup.
-Now, you need to copy edits, these materials, and save this as a preset for ShaderManagementTool (SMT). Watch the first video below
-Do this for every material. Feel free to tweak or add your own.
-Now, for changing the item. Just "Load Preset", select KKUTS Item/Alpha or any other preset you made, then "Load". You can now paste it on the object using Material Editor
-You can also select one or multiple item, then press the shortcut key "N" to replace every object and materials on selected items. The reason we didn't use "Replace Item Shader" in SMT is because it doesn't always replace everything, and at most only the first one, if the item has multiple materials.
-Now let's go to changing the character shader. You should be able to get it by watching the second video below.
So here's the important bits in the video
- Hide the character you don't want to swap shaders, then select the characters you want. (Although, only the face and body are only unaffected)
- Changing eye (hitomi) shader doesn't work with SMT, so we skipped it, and have to manually change it.
- As you can see not all items/hairs are changed. You should manually replace its material it if this happens.
- The reason a white square appear on the female uniforms is because the emblem material which should be empty, also got replaced. This shouldn't be much of an issue.
So yea, it's a bit tedious, but I think the results are worth it. Not gonna force you use KKUTS. But I hope I this little guide will be helpful to you. If you have any related questions, feel free to ask below.
