Is shader ripping possible?

[KJTAXI1974]

Trying to rip shaders from a public avatar.
Is it possible, and if it is what are the means?

If I recall shaders are compiled on build, so the shaders in-game and in the editor are completely different and pretty difficult to repair, that being said, if you know what shader is being used you can find a copy of the original shader and it should retain all the information when you change the compiled shader to the uncompiled variant.

Ripping compiled shader = rewriting it (nearly) from scratch.
Yep, it is possible, but idk how mich time it would take to do so.
As above - try to find same shader somewhere here or somewhere else.

Their is currently no reliable way/method to rip shaders unless you:

• rip an avatar
• looked into it's shader folder
• then manually go hunting for the shaders online
