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. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

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.

Hello all, I have a shader that takes the alpha value of one texture and applies to a sprite frame. I prefer to go this way so that I can have a gradient fade to transparency… the mask component uses the stencil buffer and isn’t set up to use alpha blending and therefore cannot utilize the gradient of alpha values.

For shaders, I used Amplify Shader Editor to add some visual effects on top of the render texture. Then I’ve put the recorded render texture to a Standard Shader. On top of this, I added another mesh with custom shader, this time, for refraction. And the outcome of the shader looks like this: And that’s it.

If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.

Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider alpha testing instead of blending. Do this whenever possible.
