Patrons This post is brought to you by: Djinnlord Nicolo Linder orels1 Tiph’ (DN) Introduction In the previous tutorial we saw some stuff around geometry shaders, which have a lot of really interesting applications, and grass shaders is one of the most popular ones! Grass shaders, like water shaders, can be infinitely fun and you …
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 …
Introduction Welcome to the second part of the VFX Master Shader tutorial! In this part, we’ll add more features to the “VFX Apprentice Shader”, to actually upgrade it to the status of “Master”. 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 …
Welcome to the second part of the tutorial on Parallax effects! Now, initially I intended for this tutorial to only have two parts, with which I so naively open on the previous post. However, there’s probably going to be a third part on the series, the subject of which I won’t reveal now, for some …
As it was the result of a Twitter poll, I decided to share some more practical unlit shader effects. Specifically, you get two shaders (lucky you!), one for a simple butterfly flutter and another one for a simple fish swim cycle. These shaders are unlit and don’t react with light in any way, and their …
Life’s been busy, so this effect won’t be anything too exciting or technical. However I got excited to make that, cause I’ve been trying for a while to create a convenient vertical fog effect. My first attempt was with unlit shaders, and that was pretty easy and straightforward. My second attempt was with surface shaders …
As promised, this is the second part of the unlit waterfall effect tutorial. This one is focused on going through the effects that accompany the waterfall shader: the stylized foam particles and the water intersection shader. The effects on their own can be seen in this gif: Both effects are pretty simple, but they both …
