Sample1

Sample2
Author: @Ugokashiya

It implements some distinctive features like Flow Map, Flip-Book (sequential texture animation), Dissolve, Fade, Rotation, Animated Tint Map, Emission, Distortion, and so on.

Features

For more information, please refer to the following documents, Samples and Demo.

Details

Setup

Requirements

This library is compatible with the following environments.

Unity 2021.3 or higher
Universal Render Pipeline
Shader Model 3.5

Note that Shader Model 4.5 is required to use Mesh GPU Instancing. And also, if you want to use Mirror Sampling, your hardware needs to support Inline Sampler States. And if you are using 3D Texture or 2D Texture Array, the compression format must support them.

And this document assumes that you have already set up the Universal Render Pipeline. For more information about the Universal Render Pipeline, please refer to the Unity Manual

Install

To install the software, follow the steps below.

Open the Package Manager from Window > Package Manager
"+" button > Add package from git URL
Enter the following
- https://github.com/CyberAgentGameEntertainment/NovaShader.git?path=/Assets/Nova

Package Manager

Or, open Packages/manifest.json and add the following to the dependencies block.

{
    "dependencies": {
        "jp.co.cyberagent.nova": "https://github.com/CyberAgentGameEntertainment/NovaShader.git?path=/Assets/Nova"
    }
}

If you want to set the target version, write as follows.

    }
  }
}

Usage

Add Renderer Feature

First, set up the Renderer Feature to apply Distortion. Click Add Renderer Feature > Screen Space Distortion from the bottom of the Inspector of the ForwardRendererData asset.

Add Screen Space Distortion

Confirm that Screen Space Distortion has been added as shown below.

Screen Space Distortion

Note
This setting is not necessary if you do not use the Distortion Shader.

Activate Depth Texture

Next, activate Depth Texture to use the Soft Particles or Depth Fade features. Check Depth Texture in the UniversalRenderPipelineAsset Inspector.

Depth Texture

Depth Texture setting is also found in each Camera, so set it as necessary.

Note
This setting is not necessary if neither Soft Particles nor Depth Fade is used.

Create and assign the Material

Next, create a material with the Nova shader. Create a material and set the shader to Nova/Particles/UberUnlit and assign a texture to the Base Map.

Material

After creating a Particle System and assigning this material, you will see particles with the specified texture.

Particle

For more information on each shader and each function, see the sections below.

Uber Unlit Shader

The Uber Unlit shader is a multifunctional shader with no lighting applied. Use this shader for particles that do not need lighting, such as glowing effects.

To use this shader, assign the Nova/Particles/UberUnlit shader to your material. The following is the description of each property that can be set from the Inspector.

Render Settings

The Render Settings control how the Material is rendered.

Render Settings

Property Name		Description
Render Type		You can specify the type of rendering from the following options. Opaque Cutout Transparent (Default) If you select Cutout, the CutOff property will be displayed. When Transparent is selected, the Blend Mode property will be displayed.
	CutOff	This property is visible only when the Render Type is set to Cutout. Controls the threshold to clip semi-transparent areas. The higher this value is, the more alpha will be cropped.
	Blend Mode	This property is visible only when the Render Type is set to Transparent. You can specify the color blend method from the following options. Alpha (Alpha Blending / Default) Additive Multiply
Render Face		You can specify the rendering face from the following options. Front (Default) Back Both

Vertex Deformation

With Vertex Deformation, you can control the deformation of vertices.

Vertex Deformation

Property Name	Description
Texture	Sets the Vertex Deformation Map. The specifications are as follows. Push vertices in the normal direction of the object space based on the value of a single specified texture channel. You can select a channel by Channels property. Areas of the texture with a value of zero will not be pushed out, and areas with larger values will be pushed out more towards the exterior. Note that you need to uncheck sRGB Color in the texture import setting because the pixels will be used as values, not colors.
Intensity	Sets the Vertex Deformation intensity.
