SurfaceShader
Setup macros and layer variables used in SurfaceShaders.
Setup Macros
At the top of the vertex() function, declare SETUP_SURFACE_VERTEX.
At the top of the fragment() function, declare SETUP_SURFACE_FRAGMENT.
Layer Variables
A SurfaceShader can only output its own material properties using LAYER_OUT_* variables. It can read data values from layers below using LAYER_BELOW_TEX_* and LAYER_BELOW_MASK_* variables.
Output Variables
Variables to output material properties.
