This shader stylizes lighting effects to match the Legends art style

The Furality Legendary Shader allows you to pick between a selection of stylized lighting effects. These effects are designed to help you match your avatar to our world's art style. The shader was also designed to be highly customizable with a large selection of combinations to create your own unique effects.

Luma Glow V2!

Luma Glow has been expanded and improved to include additional effects and control. You can now manually pick between glow zones on your material and there are now zones dedicated to gradients! Another new feature is audio reactivity. This will cause your emissions to blink or pulse with the beat of the music as well as be controlled by our colors.

Use Luma Glow to show off your Hero/Villain affiliation

The Furality Legendary Shader has 7 different Luma Glow effects zones to pick from. Three shared gradients, two solid color "Hero" zones, and two solid color "Villain" zones. The Hero/Villain zones are themed and have separate lighting effects from each other! Show off the vibrant and orderly colors and effects of the Heroes. Or glow menacingly and flicker in the dark with the colors and effects of the Villains.

What is Luma Glow?

While you explore our Furality Legends worlds, your avatar's emissions will receive special effects. While inside our club, your emissions will pulse, change color, and flash with the beat of the music! Outside of the club, our other worlds will have additional effects!

Optimized world-to-avatar control

This shader was designed to read data directly from our own sources. This means you don't have to do any audio processing on your end! Other effects are processed on your GPU, saving you that precious CPU performance.

Artificial Realtime Global Illumination

Because of CPU limitations, we cannot use realtime lightmaps on our club world to show off all the amazing lighting effects. To get around this, we created an artificial GI shader for the world that is fed the light data from our sources, bypassing your need to calculate it! The shader then picks this up using a realtime reflection probe that is then sampled by this shader in a special way that allows it to emulate the same GI but on your avatar!

How will the worlds affect my emission colors?

Our worlds will tint your emission color by another color. If you want to receive our world colors exactly without tinting, use a white and black emission.
