A program to preview various materials and shaders in games.

Currently supports shader viewing in:

• Mario Kart 8 U & Deluxe
• Super Mario Odyssey (set the romfs game path in settings menu)
• NSMBUDX
• NSMBU
• Kirby Star Allies
• Splatoon 2 (very WIP)
• Super Mario Maker 2 (very WIP)
• Animal Crossing New Horizons (very WIP, add shader in GlobalShaders folder)
• WWHD (very WIP)

• Real time viewing and editing of material data with shaders. Shader editing isn't supported.
• Animation playback with proper interpolation handling (previous tools had playback issues).
• Shape animations, material animations and other various types supported.

Make sure you have net 5.0 or higher. Download the releases zip file and run the exe.

If you are on Linux, the application should be usable with this command dotnet CafeShaderStudio.dll in the program directory.

Keep in mind this is very WIP. Editing is limited to material editing. You can export/import materials as json for more direct editing (though keep in mind if the file swapped uses a different shader file, then the bfres will need to be reopened.

If a material is red (for a game with supported shader viewing) that means it failed to find the shader. This means your model has a skin count not supported by the shader, or the shader option combination and/or render state combination is not supported by the shader.
