It is node based and should be familiar to those of you who have experience with node based material editors. Here is a quick screenshot of shader editor: [Screenshot 2021-06-08 at 10.51.03] At launch we plan to support: customising material properties like albedo, normal, specular, roughness etc have access to surface properties like texture coordinates, position, vertex normal sample 2d textur…

Edit: Also this is a good reference.
