I installed extensions in VS C (Cocos Effect, Shader languages support for VS Code) my next thought was to get into the shader to try working with the texture there, but I ran into difficulties: 1.) I couldn’t find the right package for working with textures to get pixel colors #include <common/texture/texture-lod> 2.)

In this “Unity Sprite Outline” tutorial we’ll discover how to create both a “Sprite Innerline” and a “Outer Sprite Outline”. Simply, the Inner Sprite Outline shader is drawn “inside” the sprite, while “Outer” is the opposite. Read more about “Texture’s Texel Size” here. Inner Sprite Outline HLSL.

Another thing is I noticed that the FPS dropped after the shader was applied to some sprites. So, is there way to cache the rendered texture (including the shader effect) rather than recalculating the same thing every frame. I will check and get back to you.

On my latest game, I have a weird issue with texture and I have no idea why I have this ( I could only reproduce it once but players do find it from time to time). Suddenly, when the player plays, the screen goes all wrong as if all the textures were now corrupted. Like if all textures now point to the distortioned monster spriteframe.

Hello, so my issue is such, I have made a shader that causes a UV distortion in the fragment shader, to simulate “flame-like” effects at the edges. There are two variants of these shaders, one where the distortion is dependent on cc_time[0] i.e the time elapsed in seconds when a game is running. 1.0 - newUV.x), min(newUV.y,

For me, even for a simple sprite to work, I need to change its texture filter type to none (in editor) to make it work. I tried it with auto atlas and texture filter trick mentioned above no longer work as well. Hello @pandamicro I’m having the similar issue. Could you please look into it?

Everything is just one big texture. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. Interactive elements will be placed using the in-game editor. So it’s RGBZ.

Sorry to litter up the forums with a question like this but I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere online… So… I have made some shaders that use time to essentially animate themselves. Whenever I attach them to a material, and then a sprite in the engine, I can see them moving in the editor as expected.

We’re not really doing anything with shaders or post processing in the tutorial, so depending on where you want to take the tutorial later, its really up to you which you choose. Resources just feels like it should be things like 3d Models and Textures, but if you want to stick with the original, that’s fine.

Overriding properties like script variables, or sprite color via modulate property, allows to make asset variations easily. Another thing that was quite useful is the option to quickly test shaders. Being able to see the results of a shader the moment you change some code makes development so much better. That one was tricky.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position.

Finally, the way light shaders now works is more user friendly to creating custom lighting shaders. The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer.
