This is an add-on for the texture pack: Paper Cut-Out by SuperAlgae

You will need to have both this pack (w/ shader maps) and the original Paper Cut-Out pack (w/ textures) in Minecrafts resource list for it to work. Order of the packs doesn't matter.

Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders

Shader mod which uses the shader maps.


» Design «

My aim is to maintain the "flatness" of the original Paper Cut-Out design, by mostly adding glossiness to the "paper". On textures with deep painted shadows, I made these shadows move with the light source. Most noticeable on blocks like stonebrick, chiseled quartz and similar.

All normal maps and specular maps are hand-drawn (not calculated).

Note: The shader mod seams not to suppert specular maps for entities (like mobs and minecarts) at this time.


» Alternate Textures «

If you use some of the alternate textures (see readme of original Paper Cut-Out), you must also use the corresponding files in this pack if they exist.

Some alternate textures don't have special maps and uses the same files for default and alternate. Or don't have any maps at all. In these cases there are no files to copy/move.

Big thanks to SuperAlgae for letting me borrow his design for the pack icon. And for making a super texture pack.


» What are "Shader maps"? «

Its a reference to "Normal maps" and "specular maps" which are used by shaders.

This is also called a bump map. Each of the three color channels are used in different ways to define the bumps on the texture.
