solved ShaderMaterial Questions

[DylanD]

Hey I'm try to do a larger more gradual gradient with my shader but instead of going off of where the camera is I just want it to simply change over the y of the object.  When I tried I get It working on only the front face and I'm not sure how to get it seamlessly on all the sides.

Any ideas how I could get it to be seamless ?

Oh, @Pryme8  I was wondering what is the best way to debug a shader?  console.log("test") doesn't seem to work.  Any pro tips?

fix your faceUV's  when the default box is created it does not have its UV's aligned. to a specific direction.

the faces things only got me through 4/6 sides, still the left and right faces wouldn't work but, I figured out that if I used the normals from one of my other shaders to figure out what side is what, I could use them to switch between vuv.y and vuv.x!!!

LOOK AT THAT!!! WOOOOH!!!

shaders are awesome

now to make one more with everything all together!
