What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

One shader is used, only the sprite texture changes. On a smaller texture, the distortion is greater than on a larger texture. The HelloWorld texture has a size of 196 X 270. I scaled it up in the graphics editor to 400 x 554 and the distortion is barely noticeable. Do you need some tweaks or is this a bug?

Thank you so much for telling me how to find that component, but it’s too bad it’s not related to the original problem, which is the shader. ;-( It’s simply an error log caused by a missing asset in some component. Is there a difference between applying the material to the sprite and the label?

Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This can be partially achieved using a bindless resource model where all required resources are available directly from the shader code on GPU without explicit CPU-side bindings.

The problem is that the shader does not render outside these limits, even though the original area was 450x450. Is there a way to increase the render bounds?
