My sprite doesnt look right after given a material, I wanted to achieve a addtive like effect. heres what it looks like now! Im a new user and unfortunately I can only post one image. The source image has smooth alpha gradient.screenshot-20241218-160021|437x273 Im using cocos creator 3.8.3

Even after modifying the vertex buffer ( vb ), the changes are not reflecting on the sprite. I understand that in Cocos Creator 3.8 , I can access the vbo and modify the vertex colors using: let ur = this.node.getComponent(UIRenderer); let vb = ur['_renderData'].chunk.vb;

I have a sprite (a regular line) and I wanted to apply a wave effect to it. I tried to normalize by passing the dimensions of the sprite (line) to the shader like this mat.setProperty("iRsolutetion", new Vec2(1.0 / this.node.getComponent(UITransform).contentSize.width, this task tormented me. it doesn’t work properly.

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.

Hello, you may want to change the uv0 settings from the shader code. So 0 means the far left side of the sprite and 1 represents the far right side of the sprite. In the example they show on the manual, they made it so that the effect changes along the x-axis from the uv0.x It is important to know that the uv0.x

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?

I am trying to create a 'CustomMaterial' to stack 2 shader effects. Maybe someone has a better way/idea to solve the problem of only having one CCEffect on one Node/Sprite/etc…? When I do effectAsset: new EffectAsset I get an error, because of the type mismatch. Thanks, tL.

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?

We are currently using this shader to create dynamic light effect on 2d sprites, so we are updating it very often. Also every sprite has it’s own material. First of all declare your array on the shader. stringwizard5: Glad to hear it’s working for you!

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.

I’m just learning how a shader works. So, I just copied from the built-in sprite effect file to mine. Now, back to the issue, I think, only “cc_matWorld” is used from #include <builtin/uniforms/cc-local> If I commented both of these lines, there were no error. But, everything stopped working as intended.

To modify the material, you need to add color parameters to the corresponding shader. SpriteRenderer does not provide an interface to modify the color. You can change it by modifying the material. Like this surface-effect.effect.zip (1.2

2nd, reset the effect in the material of your poker chip to default(standard for 3d, builtin-sprite for 2d), this will help you check if there is some compatibility problems with your custom shader. if it shows correctly in your build preview after doing this, that means you should re-check your shader. hope it can help.

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,
