Patrons This post is brought to you by Patrons: Djinnlord Nicolo Linder Introduction The resources for Unity shaders out there are scarce enough as it is, but there’s a very specific type of Unity shaders that is weirdly rare to find resources upon (at least at the time of writing): Geometry shaders. My presumption is …
Patrons This tutorial post is brought to you by: erich binder Djinnlord Introduction There’s a lot of effects with shaders that can be quite tough to approach, mostly because you don’t even really know where to start. These tend to be more connected to physical effects, which is precisely what makes them hard to approach. …
Patrons This tutorial post is brought to you by: erich binder Djinnlord Introduction For quite a long time I wanted to do something like SSS for some neat effects, and I had this shader ready for some time too. However, it’s needless to say that I feel weird covering this subject in a tutorial. Mostly …
Patrons This shader tutorial post was brought to you by: Erich Binder, Minh Triết Đỗ Introduction I was quite surprised to see that while I had a tutorial on grab pass shaders and on UV distortion, I didn’t actually have a tutorial on grab pass distortion. And I probably should have one, cause it’s a …
Patrons This shader tutorial post was brought to you by: Erich Binder Introduction Hello and welcome to the third and possibly final (major) part of the VFX Master Shader tutorial!

The second part is still focusing on the opaque version of the shader, and while I’ll include the shader code for the …
As some of you might have noticed, I recently dove into the interesting field of VFX, as it felt like it combined my love for shaders (and technical art in general) with an artistic process which has a lot of impact on the aesthetics of a game as well as its feel and gameplay. While …
Recently I started experimenting with VFX and my 2 first entries on the field were 2 pretty standard concepts: a tornado and an explosion. Actually the whole idea of getting into VFX dawned on me after watching an awesome VFX tornado by Spyro. So I tried approaching VFX my own way, with my existing assets/shaders …
I guess this is the first entry to this category, since I never had such a demand for a write-up before. So here goes! The different between this format and regular “My take on shaders” post is that this is a more direct format, just going through a particular effect that I find too specific …
As I mentioned in the previous post, there is a third part to the parallax effect series. However, I decided not to call this post “Parallax Effects (Part III)”, because this effect is widely known with its own name: Interior Mapping.
