Will the upcoming Principled Shader Be supported?

I am excited about many of the developments in Blender in regards to the Viewport Project as well as the EEvEE engine. Which I have seen some indications that these features will make integration with Blend4web even better. I have also noticed many people talking about PBR shaders; and specifically there is a new shader in the Cycles Engine called: "Principled Shader". This shader seems to be much easier to create realistic materials using real world logic regarding the aspects of what makes a material appear the way it does based on simple aspects; rather than a array of math nodes and vectors, and every other hair pulling method.

I am hoping that a PBR shader is a priority in Blend4web. The Principled shader would be great if it would be possible, combined with some bump maps or textures; should be suitable to create almost any realistic material. I definitely feel this is the greatest barrier to entry for people who would like to use Blend4web to publish 3D web content. (including myself . . . )

Could anyone from Blend4web comment on the future intentions for PBR shaders and or the Principled Shader?

Thanks . . .

Hi

yeah we are working hard on the upcoming PBR component of the engine
You can take a look at my little presentation at the recent b4w conf
