HOLOGRAM using Unity Shader Graph

[@jaydenchrono]

Quick tip: if you're using this in VR, using screen space UVs will make the lines scroll relative to your headset rather than the world. So if you tilt your head they'll look like they're going at an angle rather than straight down. If you use a Position node set to World space, you'll get better results in VR.

[@aktafool]

thank you! I'm about to try this and had no idea that was going to happen.

[@theory_thinker]

Damn why iam seeing that in 2024

[@jarrahtree5130]

For those wondering why they can't find "PBR Graph", they've made changes. Just select "Lit" instead

[@kyleme9697]

My head hurts from continually having my mind blown. This is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@toreole2993]

I actually prefer using the localspace position instead of screenspace position for the rendering. Just because its way more consistent

[@tihomiriordanov9060]

I was searching for days for a way to ignore the vertex calculation and just print simple 2d overlay over the character. He did that by simply adding Screen Position to the uv.. Brackey have special place in my hearth.

[@VectorGameStudio]

I am using unity since early 2012, it has changed so much to this point. It is so great to see such nice features.

[@TitaN-nj7fx]

Finally I found you, I surfed KZbin almost for a few years looking for people who know about game development on Unity 3D and all was in vain, but now everything has changed, because I found your awesome channel. Like and subscribe definitely.

[@agitated_cat]

FOR EVERYONE WHO IS WATCHING THIS LATER: the "transparency" setting is inside the settings button on the node now like so everyone can see

[@martinfish3514]

im not at this point yet by any means... but your videos are solid gold. When i first started playing with unity i was impressed that i was able to make a box. Now i can make a box do stuff... move around.. interact with stuff etc. Your videos are a world of help. thanks for making them!

[@thepeacefish]

This is great. Your explanation style is very clear and engaging and your technique is always top notch. Thanks for these videos man.

[@BATCH3]

Shit Man!! You really seem to be doing this for your whole life. You speak so confidently about everylittle detail of this shader that, then, leads to a great final effect, and commiting no mistakes. You're really good!!

[@VensJem]

Do you have any ideas how create transparent shader with blur? Like jelly or something..

[@azizgassara2399]

it's named translucent !! google it

[@VensJem]

No. I mean blur like a Gaussian blur :D

[@azizgassara2399]

Jelly are translucent material with subsurface scattering

[@Opalium]

You always look so happy in your videos. Like, absolutely over the moon. I don't know how you do that, but it's awesome.

[@Great.Milenko]

hmm.. the only issue i see with it is that its screen based... can you not base the texture-space location from a cylinder ? that was you can have backfaces visible, and have a true 3d look.

[@Magno1000a]

Just use a position node instead and set "space" to "world".

[@AlanDarkworld]

I was thinking about backfaces too. Isn't there a way to enable them in the shader graph? Brackeys did something like that in the dissolve shader video. But I'm a shader noob so I might be wrong.

[@Magno1000a]

I believe the "two sided" checkbox at the bottom of the master node enables backfaces but when i use it on my own hologram shader it gives me some strange results.

[@Great.Milenko]

on this particular shader (exactly like the tutorial) you wouldnt see the backfaces because the texture would be exactly the same as the front since the texture is aligned to the camera.

[@Magno1000a]

But that wouldn't be the case if you used world space.

[@danieledesa100]

What about creating shaders for different types of water with shader graph? Maybe low poly as well?

[@JohanAnderssonV]

YES!

[@TheSpacecraftX]

Seeing how hard I worked to get these effects manually in OpenGL and C++ and how easy it is to do with shader graph makes me feel pretty inadequate.

[@_zurr]

It's been a couple years but Unity is a industry-level tool specifically designed to give both (relative) simplicity and flexibility to game designers. Don't compare yourself to them. You achieved something manually that many people who'd try to make a game the same way would never get close to.

[@Shringyshrong]

Bro... if you can do this through code alone... that is something to be incredibly proud of. Sure, you could've used the tools already available, but to have such an understanding of code to create them yourself is fucking NEXT LEVEL!!

[@matthewwarner3909]

I doubt it is possible with the current shader graph but an outline/silhouette effect would be really cool to see!

[@SoaringSimulator]

Another option is to use the World Y as a position note for the UV offset. And a double side shader so that it looks 3Dimentioonals and less flat. Thx for the video!

[@sergey9914]

Instead of using "branch" node (very expensive) for blink effect, you can use: value + (1-value)*randomRange(time) Same thing, but really faster.

[@zachiha4077]

why is the "branch"-node expensive? void Unity_Branch_float4(float Predicate, float4 True, float4 False, out float4 Out) { Out = Predicate ? True : False; } is this really slower than your example?

[@hmmm8500]

Please continue making Shader Graph tutorials, there are not many good tutorials to learn from and your videos are really helpful.

[@vanviethieuanh2237]

what do you think about wireframe shader ?

Also waiting for the Sprite Renderer

[@RitobanRoyChowdhury]

It's possible. I don't have the link right now, but you can look up Unity shadergraph sprites and find a tutorial on it. I think it was by Dapper Dino.

[@frisk6303]

LOL! I believe that would be just PS and Sprite work.

[@frisk6303]

I'm not sure about lightweight renderer or maybe yes..

[@alexbull4722]

We know that, we are talking about using it with SRP or HDRP which maintains many graphics options that are lost as soon as you install the LWRP. Shader Graph only works with the LWRP, as soon as you start using the Light weight Render Pipeline behaviour to support Shader Graph you're losing some options.

Nodes are always interesting in their use, fresnel is always interesting to see use of, but there are a lot of others like noise, voronoi and (in blender) musgrave that make interesting results with other nodes

[@mr.dislike2691]

Is there way to create distortion effect with shader graph?

[@storm5009]

yes, like heat and lightning distorsion.

[@antonbergstrom6740]

If you mean heat distortion. You can easily make one by taking the uv coords, multiply the v value by sinus time and then add the result to the u value. An alternative would be to add the v value with the time. Get the sinus of that and then multiply it by some intensity

[@leofisher1280]

Anton Bergström sine = trigonometric wave function sinus = part of your face that stores mucus

[@kataseiko]

You mean distortion like a glitch? I'd love to know that one, too.

[@titerote71]

1 More for distortion :)

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Also I'd like to see you sculpt 3d objects, 3d landscapes/scenery/layouts, 3d characters, and I'd also like to see you make a video game in motion (3d game that is) just like Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft do. One last thing I'd like you to show us how you make your objects move individually using code and what colors and shapes you use to design your characters, objects, landscapes, layouts, scenery, etc.

[@alicewithalex]

Nice! Can you do cartoon like shader for characters? Awesome videos and really easy to understand :) P. S. maybe you also can do dissolve effect for UI elements, like opening inventory with appearing with dissolve effect - it will be really cool) Anyway - good job!

[@settheshallow8913]

Александр Лысенко i think an extreme fernel plugged into a one-minus could somehow make an outline for a character

[@alicewithalex]

Seth De Shallow, Yeah, but I told about cell shading in simple way)

[@Definitely_a_Fox]

Yeah, I don't think a toon shader would be too difficult to create, but a little assistance would be nice!

[@sanovictus]

To do toon shading, you can take the diffuse value and multiply it by a step system, such that you have thresholds like 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 etc, that'll increment the color to get a simple effect. Alternatively, you can use a 1D ramp texture as a lookup table of sorts. Best of luck!

The announcement blurb for Shader Graph advertises the ability to make a "gooey slime mound". It would be cool to see how to produce a "gooey" effect that makes materials look like blobby goo.

[@jeremiebeaulieu8501]

PLEASE BRACKEYS.... could you pleease make a video about quaternions?? there are absolutely no video that realy explain them and show how to use them correctly, and I am stuck with this.... You are the best unity tutorial maker on youtube, no one can explain like you do, so if you can do that, it will be very, VERRRRYYYY nice and I think that will help a lot of people. Your ideo was amazing, like all the others, btw. Continue like that, I LOVE your channel, the tutorials are simple, you explain clearly, everybody can do what you are doing. Thanks a lot for all these good videos, you deserve a lot more subs!

thanks for a great tutorial. may I know how do I change the UV tiling and offset in such a way that the animation happens on three planes XY, YZ, and ZX over the object?

You are amazing. Also, it wouldn’t hurt if you would mention that the monkey is Blender's Suzanne. Just because Blender is such a fantastic app.

[@amyshaw893]

you did the flickering of the hologram, but is it possible to make it waver, like wobbling side to side? or is that a bit too much for just shaders

[@QuesterDesura]

[@RookieAlert]

How would you render an object through a particle emitter? This hologram effect would look cool if, as a particle rises ITC changes colour depending on the particle's position relative to the object.

[@mlok4216]

Could you do tutorial on refractive materials like glass or water in PBR?

[@LucGendrot]

The shader graph is awesome, but more ECS programming videos please!

[@antonbergstrom6740]

Can't really test this right now. But wouldn't using screen position for uv coords mean that the effect get broken each time the player moves the camera?

[@Crons-v3f]

Looks awesome, Great work! I just have a question, not really related to this video but since you're really good you could know the answer. I'm making some special effects for my characters, and I'm creating shaders for it. For example, I created a shader that would dissolve the player and another shader that would make the player almost invisible (cloaking effect). How can I apply these 2 shaders depending on what special effect I want to add? For example, the player is using the normal URP Lit shader and I want to dissolve the player, should I replace the shader by the dissolve one, or should I create 1 complex shader that does dissolve and invisibility?

[@kayschuster5765]

You know Diablo? Their is a health bar like a water glass / glass ball with red water. can this do with the shader too?

Awesome video, once again, THANK YOU. I'm trying to see how I can use shader graph to create a wiping in / out effect for my materials.

[@phyzxengrmoore6928]

This is very cool. So here is a request. I am thinking of coronal mass ejections off a toroid. but the visual effect has to have a physical effect where collisions are possible. I see a shader applied to a whip, chain or strand of IK parts. I think I have it broken down to its basic object model where shader detail can be added.

[@Kreesty]

same

[@drslit]

Its because you need to install and use the unity lightweight render pipeline for shadergraph to work as its only in beta for that pipeline.

[@xBPM]

I have both installed and still have the same issue :/

[@drslit]

OnlyLeprechaun if you added the pipework after the model then you have to covert the model to a lightweight version that might be it, also just installing it does not make it work , google how to set it up properly in the graphics tab

[@xBPM]

DRSlit Yeah got it working. Haha. Didn't have the lightweight asset in the scriptable render assets or whatever it was.

[@Raseration]

The object I use the shader on looks just like in the preview and won't glow, the blue color is in a circle in the middle and the outer edges are the orangey color of the emission. Is there some setting in unity that I have missed? I have tried baking the light but it still looks like the preview and it looks really odd.

[@datdieter]

how would you make it that the scrolling of the texture is not relative to the camera model but instead relative to the stage ?

[@fanisdeli]

I got a problem. Whenever I use a PBR master node and I try to give it any kind of color it's not visible in the game unless I get really-really close to the object.. from far away it looks gray, and as I get closer it fades into the color I've given it.. why is that?
