The Ultimate 2D & 3D Shader Graph VFX Unity Course

Create a unity shader graph to scroll a flames texture horizontally with tiling and offset, driven by time, and render via a line renderer using additive blending.

Colorize a texture in shader graph by blending two colors with an x-axis gradient, using a gradient node and blend value to drive a flame-colored texture.

Create a leftward flame dissolve effect in Unity Shader Graph using a built-in simple noise node, time-based scrolling, a dissolve gradient, and an adjustable dissolve amount for vivid flames.

Create a left-side mask for a flaming texture in Photoshop, import the mask into Unity, and build flame layers with shader graph: main, core, and smoke, plus glow and post-processing.

Learn to create a wind effect that moves vegetation by manipulating vertex positions in a world-space sprite shader, using time, noise, wind speed, and direction.

Learn to mask vertex movement for wind effects by separating wind speed and direction, and using a UV-based top mask to move only the sprite's upper region.

Create a Unity script to control a shader graph dissolve in and out. Expose public color parameters and dissolve amount and speed, and drive the effect via input keys.

Create a distortion shader in Unity shader graph that distorts scene behind a sprite using gradient noise, tiling and offset, a time node, and distortion power for heat haze.

Learn to add a distortion render feature in Unity's URP, enable depth and opaque textures, and render behind sprites while tuning distortion and noise scale.

Create a pixelation control script to smoothly transition the pixelation amount toward a target using the update loop, triggered by A and S, updating the material parameter each frame.

Create a wind pixelation effect for 2D pixel art by moving pixel clusters with a pixelation group, uv offset, time, and wind speed, adjusting density and blend.

Learn to create and control metallic and smoothness in a shader graph by using metallic and smoothness maps with a controlling float, multiplying maps, and organizing parameters for realistic reflections.

learn how ambient occlusion adds soft shadows in creases and near surfaces by using an occlusion map and ambient occlusion value to modulate indirect lighting in a unity shader.

Create and configure emission map nodes in a Universal Render Pipeline shader graph, using emission color in HDR, textures, and multiply operations to control glow and emissive areas.

Create a seamless texture in Photoshop to drive a vortex effect in Unity's shader graph, using gradient noise, polar coordinates, and a sample texture 2D.

Assemble four nested rings to form a magical portal vortex, using separate materials for outer black outline, main color ring, black core, and a bright highlight, adjustable via shader graph.

Learn to control a vortex by coding a script that lerps circle clip, feather, and ring width through a shader graph, with a to open and s to close.

Create a stylized water shader using a depth fade to color water from surface to depth, with color layers, normal maps, refraction, and wave controls.

Organize shader nodes into normals and refraction groups, create foam with gradient noise, depth fade, and tiling, and control color, transparency, and motion to render edge foam on water.

Create a half tone shader graph to implement custom lighting that replaces shadows with a grid of dots, controlling base color, dots color, density, offset, shadow threshold, and outline.

Create a halftone shader using a Voronoi node by adjusting dot density, shadow thresholds, and sharp edges with step and one-minus nodes, and colorize using Lab nodes and optional textures.

Use a Fresnel and step node to generate a sharp, adjustable outline; invert colors to colorize it, apply an outline color, and explore half-tone effects under scene lighting.
