VFX Shaders
Laser Shader
A simple laser shader with support for trail renderers
Laser Shader Demo
- Color: Controls the main color of the laser
- Use Trail Color: Enabling this ignores the Color and uses the vertex color of the Trail Renderer instead
- Noise Scale: Controls the scale of the noise applied to the laser. The higher the scale the more the effect will look like a cloud of particles
- 1st Noise Strength: Controls the brightness of the 1st noise layer
- 1st Noise Contrast: Controls the range of values used by the noise layer
- 1st Noise Scroll Space: Sets the coordinate space used for the noise layer. When set to Local Space - you can freely scale the object and the relative noise scale will stay the same.
- 1st Noise Scroll Scroll (X/Y/Z): Sets the scrolling speed of the noise layer along the X/Y/Z axis
- 2nd Noise scale/Strength/Contrast... sets the same parameters for the 2nd noise layer
- Waviness Texture: Sets the texture to be multiplied over the noise effect. Useful for making the noise pattern non-uniform across the length of the laser beam
- Waviness Contrast: Controls the range of values used by the waviness texture
- Waviness Scroll (X/Y): Sets the scrolling speed of the waviness texture along the X/Y axis
- Noise Texture: A special pre-baked noise texture. Not meant to be modified
Waviness Texture
Try out different textures in the Waviness Texture slot! Even the default particular texture with X tiling set to a high value can yield some interesting results.
