[IDEA] Shader Mask for Character Models

[LilNesquuik]

Goal Description

Implement a customizable shader mask system for character models, allowing LabAPI plugins to dynamically modify the appearance of specific character parts, such as uniforms, armor, helmets, accessories, or any other predefined masked parts

Note: Yes, this would require artists to prepare shader masks for character models (sorry, NW 3D artists), but the benefits would make it a far powerful solution

Example

• Change the orange color of the jumpsuit

Tutorial

• Change the pink color of the uniform

Nine-Tailed Fox

player.Appearance.SetColor(CharacterMask.UniformPrimary, Color.Red);
player.Appearance.SetColor(CharacterMask.UniformSecondary, Color.Black);
player.Appearance.SetColor(CharacterMask.Helmet, Color.Blue);
player.Appearance.SetColor(CharacterMask.Accents, Color.Gold);

// Or even expose the available masks for each role:
