"Shaders Plus is Awesome! It's super fun to play around with and totally ups the game of my renders..."

Real-Time Caustics
Enjoy procedural, Real-Time Caustics results with Shaders Plus!
Enable them with a single slider, and even customize the look of them to your precise desires!Worried that your machine is too slow?
The Caustics are powered by Shadow Information, so if your machine can process shadows, it can process our Caustics!
Thin-Film Interference
Shaders Plus achieves a truly, Physically-Accurate representation of Thin-Film Interference, otherwise described as, Pearlescent, Anodized, the "Soap Bubble" or "Oil Spill" effect, by utilizing over 1,000 Vector Math nodes!!This effect is perfect for adding a realistic "rainbowy" sheen to your surfaces, or go full on with intensely vibrant anodized metals!
Realistic Dispersion
Dispersion is that familiar, Prism like effect when you look through certain glass objects.Custom Dispersion shaders are not new to Blender, however ours is different. Unlike doing a simple RGB-split like most, ours accurately follows the natural light falloff curve found in nature, giving you true to life Prism effects for your glass renders!
