Results of shader rush :D

Hi there again :) I was so glad i managed to make new shader that i wasnt even imagine it will be so hard to control. Also i did try to instantly improve shader itself adding more and more features ... and then VAM slapped me :D Almost 80% of results in VAM looked differently than in unity . I was like O_O. and started to investigate why so . And what did i found out ? Vam uses some kind of packing system for lossless formats like png , and that packing just was killing all details from textures in result. What looked nice and fluffy tail in unity - in vam looked like half burned flat log . Really it was kinda big surprise.So to fix it i need make tweaks . and cut some channels from shader . and tweak again . and again . Well if i wasnt care for best results i would stop like 5 days ago . But i am really want to learn how to use that so i can do it in best way possible. So... after around 7 versions of updated shader and like 40 versions of textures i finally started to get stable results . Okay . it was long prelude :D Today i will try to post results . It still looks better on tails than on ears , but also i managed to fix reflection problem ! This shader looks perfect in reflective surfaces , so no more use of moyashi plugin and no fringes around fur:) They are done with 2 final versions of shaders - one lightweight and fast and will be new base for my assets , second way more advanced but with way more details and better looks , especially in vr (but really if i knew how hard to make it work and like triple time from simple shader , i doubt i would dive it in :D) . First one will be for all tiers from silver as base for assets , second will be released on assets in new 15$ tier in finished state with 3 levels of detail - 20 layers , 40 and 60 layers . I did try more and less - but it is seems optimal range. A bit later i will post it for 15$ tier , and also some test scenes optimized for vr and pass tru only use, because lately i am kinda got a lot of experience in that .

Again finger crossed , hope nothing will happens , that prevents me from posting.
Ps i am kinda tired from all that tweaking so i will be just finishing Meredith textures and will finilly start to work on Kitty cat .
