Stylized Cloud shader with tessellation

this is a pretty interesting tessellation based cloud shader made by AlexStrook on github, it dsnt use any volumetric rendering method it basically is a shader that when put on a mesh it'll make its movement and lighting in a way that'll mimic the surface of a cloud

with tessellation based shaders u can easily modify and tessellate a surface of a mesh, make it move based on certain noise pattern its sort of a very complicated geometry shader 

More on this cloud sh...

3D Pixel Art Shader unity Vegetation and Water (URP Version)

Its looking much better with some proper vegetation, ill work on it more and hopefully upload the files by the end of the week [the standard version is also under work as well]

Fake Volumetric Fog Shader

These are some Screenshots from a small time Project im working on, Its a simple game made with The built in renderpipeline, Uses assets such as Cozy weather to simulate the Clouds and A custom written Water shader with vertex displacement

[A post with the Fake fog system and shader will be uploaded incase u wanna try this out for yourself]

Volumetric Fog can make your games look absolutely Amazing, however the effect is pretty demanding and c...

3D Pixel Art Project Files (BRP Version Unfinished)

[This is an unfinished project] Yes the files are very messy and it barely makes sense to call this a project but here's the entire Built in renderer version of the Pixel Art demo i showed a few weeks ago, the URP version is still with me but i cant seem to fix its depth related issues so ill check on it later and upload that as well

PS1 Renderer Project files (Slient Hill PS1 Game Assets)

this project contains the entire slient hill unity project with PS1 Renderer that i recently cover in my video

Its a fully custom project with a custom renderpipeline, to know how to set this up please watch my video on my youtube channel to know, it contains the entire slient hill ps1 originals models with full scene and set up including all the textures and materials ready to be used, The pro...

Pixel Art Shaders Update (Standard Renderpipeline)

Had to switch to Built in renderpipeline due to some issues with URP based rendering

The effects and everyhting are the same however the pixelation shader isnt gonna work on the built in renderpipeline thus ill have to re work the screen pixelation effect

Firewatch Inspired Scene Recreated in Unity

2016's Firewatch has been one of those few games that really inspired me, back when i had no idea what game development was i saw firewatch and thinked how beautiful it looked and really wondered how it was done the beautiful landscape the fog the stylized look of the environment was so eye catching that the game it self became a huge indie hit


The Project files will be available for 5$ and 7$ supportes :D so stay tuned for it

PSX Project Unity | Forest and Abandoned House

This is a project demo scene put together by me to showcase a PS1 do keep in mind this is a Unity Universal renderpipeline project and all the models and textures are from itch or free textures website, ill link them below

Stylized Cartoon Scene Unity (No toon shader)

With previously mentioned Stencil Lighting and some Unlit colors i was able to achieve this Stylized looking Scene, I think it looks really nice and would fit nicely in a relaxing mobile themed game, There is also the Outlines effect i used on my Pixel Art Project showcase so thats that :D

Feel free to download the project files and check out for urself and set something similar like this :D

Adding Dynamic Lights to 3D Pixel Shaders

Ever since the original creator t3ssel8r dropped the video on his dynamic light material combined with Unity Particle system i had to know how that was done, at first i kept thinking if he had done with with a light source or not but there wasnt any way for me to tell or be sure of, I decided to use NedmakesGames toon shaders custom multiple light support to achieve this effect but just recently the grass shader dev Minions Art made a new video about explaining how Legend of Zelda Wind walker...

Fake Volumetric Light effect Like PS1

Well its a really simple method actually and needs no complex coding or anyhting but here is a quick rundown of how it works

The Material is a Simple transparent gradient texture added to a unlit material with transparent blending, the light color precision effect is achieved by PSXURP shader provided by Kodrin (github) i have a proper video on youtube how to set it up and use it for your unity project

Here are the light models and materials and everything ull need to set it up (s...

Pixel Art Shaders Update#4

Pixel Art Shader Update#3

Working on the outlines and water effect
On next update ill be focusing on Adding additional Light support like t3ssl8r by changing my toon shader to NedMakesGame toon shader which is a better way to do Toon shading

I cant get the water shader to work with this camera view, any suggestions on how to get surface foam working?

Making Atmosphere for your Game

In game development atmosphere is a very important thing to be noted and kept eye on especially when the game is short and story based, Short games heavily rely on atmosphere. Its even more important when making a horror game because 90% of the horror elements come from the environment and atmosphere. Things such as Image effects and Fog are crucial for atmosphere and vibe

PSX Style Look for your Game

Recreating the original look of the playstation 1 era has become really popular among recent indie developers, Mostly because of the Aesthetics and the Low amount of work it needs to create the environment since u can get away with almost all sorts of shortcuts and detail miss

When making a Playstation 1 style game Developers mostly Focus on how to make the game look retro and poorly made since back in 1994 there was no fancy Post Processing or High res texturing, models were very low...

Pixel Art Shader Unity (Early Demo Video)

Made the grass shader (by MinionsArt) Blend with terrain and the toon shader on the Surface

Unity Pixel Art Shader Update

(The project files will be shared on the next post)

Used a toon based shader to achieve a similar look to the original shader by t3ssel8r

Used a Shader based pixelation method by Whateep to fix the pixel rendering

Unity 3D Pixel Art Shader

(Ill be sharing the codes and the entire project on Patreon once im done cleaning up the mess)

Inspired by t3ssel8r , This is an attempt to recreate the original look of this demo game shown in his videos

Ofc its almost impossible for me to recreate exactly like he did, im really new to all this shader coding stuff but here's a basic concept

- I first thought it was some sort of toon shading written in hlsl but then i saw another video where a person created...

Simple Toon Shading with ColorRamp

yep its a toon shading method with the color ramp

NOTE: A similar result can be created using emission node + Mapping node to determine the shading angle 

Blender Eevee Manga Style Shaders

While playing with the color ramp i thought that the overall look compliments a decent manga shader, i found many tutorials but non of them were easy and almost impossible to learn as a beginner in blender, so here is a very simple example of how to do it with just a few nodes

Model used - https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/just-a-girl-b2359160a4f54e76b5ae427a55d9594d

Anime Style Sky + Clouds Blender Eevee

Been working on the Noise texture node and came up with this random cloud texture so i combined it with a gradient sky and here we have a nice looking sky that looks like it was taken from an anime (ref: kimi no na wa)

Blender Galaxy Shader with Eevee

soo its basically a shader that makes a galaxy out of a sphere thats completely flat

needs blender 2.9+ unless u live in 2016 you should be fine

Sanity Fog shader details (UNITY URP)

This shader is from my game Sanity on itch , Made with the Unity game engine 

There's a decent looking atmospheric Fog used in Dark or a single colored Art style game. It carries Similarities to a Game Called LIMBO.

This makes a Strong, Dark and Atmospheric Fog Based on the Camera and World distance, Do note this only Works in URP (Universal Render pipeline)

It might seem like its a fog shader that works with the world but actually its not Making it was rea...
