The Source Shader Editor can be added to any Source mod which was built upon the 2007 SDK. Creating shaders is as simple as placing nodes on the flow graph and connecting them. The material system of Source is fully supported and many example shaders show how to utilize it.
Features:
- Compiles shaders as you work
- Preview on a sphere, on models or as a post processing effect
- Apply preview shaders to any brush or entity
- All shaders exposed for use in vmts
- Interact with shaders in various ways: custom vmt parameters, material proxies and client callbacks
- Support for vertexlighting, lightmaps and projected textures
- Shaders are visualized how they actually are
- Support for shader model 2.0b and 3.0

You can download a clean mod based on the Source 2007 Template SDK code or install the editor in your own mod using the implementation files provided in the download archive.
Awesome.
Woah. Nice work sir!
Sick :]
(buried)
Good to see... definitely needed.. thanks Valve...
Valve didn't make it. It was by a German student.
Is this an official tool made by valve?
If so, then they're keeping their promise to improve the sdk tools.
Nope, I made that with the 2007 SDK ;).
You have done us all a good service.
Fantastic!
WAT THE **** !!!!
GOOD WORK
That is sweet, great work :D can't wait to see some cel shader mods now :D
SOO much stuff can be made with with. Parallax Mapping on source finally ? :D
looks fun!
Upvote, upvote forever!
Quite nice never bothered learning coding shaders, though probably i should do that instead of using it.
I'm sure valve wish they could have awesome tools like that :)
Such an epic tool. Thanks biohazardger for doing the modding community a HUGE favour.
I can't use this tool on Portal 2 'cause it hasn't got mod support yet. :(
Well it's only taken them, what, 4 years to catch up with Unreal Engine 3?
this is sweet! thanks! :)
Made of 150% WIN!
Really cool, reminds me on the Blender note editor :)
Richtig schöne arbeit!
This tool is absolutely amazing. Just what I needed, and thanks for all the support you're showing for it on the VDC and Steam forums. Excellent work. =)
Whoa nice 'Crysis cloak' effect there
No tutorials anywhere :(
Can someone tell me how I make the shaders appear in the game after making them?
