In this 2D Unity tutorial, we'll create a REALLY nice Dissolve effect using Shader Graph. After we get the base effect done, it's really easy to add even more tweakable options to get your effect looking unique and stylized.
I kept this one fast, and to the point, I hope you enjoy!

[@iwoMalki]

Great work as always mate!

[@ITAngel]

I don't use Unity but man this makes me want to try it out. Nice Video.

[@jthale7381]

Shaders are still magic to me but this was super helpful and you explained everything so well. Thanks!

[@322ss]

Saw you on Unity Asset Store front page - congrats!

[@sasquatchbgames]

Hey, thanks!

[@Diablokiller999]

OMG is this confusing, perfect example for a code based shader approach :D

[@artinstroukeprod]

Thank you man!

[@exhit-gamedeveloper9971]

Great tutorial. Btw, there's no need for the custom Amount slider limit to be 0 > 1.1. You could just Add 1 to Outline Thickness, giving a DynamicMaxValue. Assign that value to the Y of a Vector2 node (0, DynamicMaxValue). Then you can remap Dissolve Amount from (0, 1) to (0, DynamicMaxValue). This way, no matter the Thickness, Dissolve Amount can always be between 0 and 1.

You save my final report in school project homework, thanks

Really good tutorial for 95% of it. Here's a like! Looking forward to the next podcast. What i dislike, not particularly about this, but about Unity tutorials in general is how coroutines are used for things they are not needed for. Coroutines are amazing because they can bring complex behaviour that would require switching states into a sequence which is easier to understand and creates more maintainable code. But coroutines also come with an overhead of memory allocation and they are not "parallel" and not faster. This dissolve-lerp could have easily been done in the Update-method.

Another Step Node 😏

[@sidiscoolest4028]

For some reason theres a weird thing were my sprite from MainTex is not being put onto the Player

[@marinosrrapaj4287]

Very nice effect! Can you explain a bit why you used 1.1 for the sliders and not 1.0? Thank you!

[@sasquatchbgames]

Cause with just 1 you could still see a tiiiiiny bit of the character outline effect. Needed the extra .1 to clear that up

[@Egcyber7]

What about the damage flash MAT won't it remove it

[@StickyLabDev]

neeed in 3d project

[@emanueltejadacoste2250]

does it work for pixel art?

[@yaroslavb.2589]

Great tutorial, everything is pretty clear. Only at me for some reason BLOOM highlights everything, even the default-sprite material, how can this be fixed?

[@skylinee969]

Same question, dude

[@user-xl3eb9cg8t]

Hey man I want to develop a game and I have the budget can we discuss the game if u have time

[@Developer_rapfa]

is this works for 3d too?

[@nikhilvardhantawania4591]

if you use HDRP instead of URP then it will I beleive
