Its crazy you give us all thats knowlege for free

[@nanman4554]

I was very concerned when he said "Jedi Graph". I don't have the power of the Force, so I was unsure whether I can create this effect. Very nice tutorial. I haven't done it yet, but it sure does look great!

[@Crisisdarkness]

Wow, this shield looks so cool, it's like the protoss shield. Your projects are so great, thanks

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yeah that's a good reference, didn't know about him. Thanks. :)

*For all those who have problems with the Sphere Mask* : check that the position of the Transform 1 Particle System is in the coordinates 0; 0; 0. And the position of the Particle System with Sphere Mask should also be at 0; 0; 0. I stupidly searched for a very long time for a solution to the problem. Perhaps you have the same problems.

[@veliaygul1884]

yes same shit how can we fixed ? do you know

[@TuanTran-cw1kz]

I just discovered this as well, So how can we move the game object and still keep the sphere mask

[@mucahitdemirci9577]

Hello there.Firstly thanks for awesome tutorial. If anybody have problem with Sphere mask , i had problem ,too. My solution was : Firstly I added collider and rigidbody to particle effect not the gameObject.(afterwards I added to gameObject) I deleted the shaderSphereMask and redo it

[@NameUnknown-]

i wonder how do you make the effect at the end, the one where only some of the pentagons/hexagons move(arround 12:00), looks like is by changing the position of the faces of the mesh (i dont even know if that is posible with shadergraph)

[@XcutAngel]

awesome, keep these comin! Love using your vids as a resource.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

That's awesome. Good luck with your project too (had a sneak peek, gj)

[@lemetamax]

I've built a Shield using shader graph before, but this is better than mine!

[@magnusm4]

That's cause this guy is a master effects maker. It's like comparing your coding to Bill Gates and John Carmack. The dudes defined our current eras and this guy makes particle effects and graphs that blow your mind all the time

[@AtLeastVision]

@@magnusm4 bill gates is not good in coding just in stealing xD

[@vaepuer2290]

Bit confused on the Particle System around 3:00. What do I need to do to gain a similar effect to where my mesh is also just standing still? Using Latest Stable version if that helps.

[@expresso8760]

If u got an answer, I need it :)

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Simply assign the mesh to the Renderer on the Particle System. Switch from Billboard to Mesh.

[@MrGidorMr]

@@GabrielAguiarProd but my mesh is separated into those little pieces and cant assign the whole sphere

[@MrGidorMr]

@@expresso8760 join the pieces using ctrl+j in blender works for me

[@BrainSlugs83]

Just a quick tip: hexagon shields are associated more with sci-fi than fantasy. It looks out of place with your fantasy warlock. It's a cool effect, and could work well for blaster fire or something, but for your warlock, maybe consider a more organic / swirly shield shape. Maybe use a voronoi pattern or something?

[@bornacvitanic]

The hit shader just straight doesn't work for me. Works in Object space on an actual sphere, but not as a particle, not in Object or World space. Plus Am I missing something? you use the alpha channel from the texture, but the image has a black background?

[@lawliet_2303]

So great keep posting stuff like this.

[@SungwookSu]

I download Blender V2.83.2 and it doesn't have "Convert to Dual mesh option but it only has Dual Mesh option and it makes very different result? anyone have answer?

[@teknotv5502]

you can also just click dual mesh and below instead of quad faces use triangular faces

Can you next time show exactly the whole screen, so that we see every detail happening within the video? I'd like to know exactly what you did. Besides this, great work man thx.

[@jonasalmstrom4986]

Very impressive! Well done!

[@TheJonBrant]

Hey, are you the same guy selling the Unique Projectiles packs on the asset store? I bought/adore them. I googled this tutorial for use with them! Thank you so much, worth every penny and more

[@Djjonwert]

When I separate to lose parts, do i export that as fbx? The Particle System won't let me use a mesh unless its all conntected. I wish you could show us the texture that you used in Shader Graph and compare to the one you showed in detail? Did you remove black background, it looks like the shapes were filled with a dark gray as well. I think you skipped over quite a bit.

[@alexvandenberg3371]

Did you find out how to do this? I'm struggling as well

[@alexvandenberg3371]

Found the answer again, re-join the objects in object mode by pressing ctrl+j

[@AtLeastVision]

I ran into another problem ... At min 3:03 you add the mash we have created. But the mesh i created (i think i did the same as u did) is not 1 mesh but 162 small meshes for every Hexagon or Pentagon one Mesh. Can you tell me what i have to do here?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Join the pieces again with Ctrl+J.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yep. Anyone who as suggestions is always welcome :)

[@coffeediction]

​@@GabrielAguiarProd Okay nice, then here a suggestion: (You made once a laser tutorial which gave me an idea for a game Im currently working on, now I wasnt sure about the design of it, but it wasnt that important atm.) The design in my head currently is sort of Tron, blocky design with neon edges. Now I know in such thing I could texture the edges to be emissive, but that is very ineffecient if there are shaders. So .. how to detect edges with shader graph? Basically anything with vertex manipulation and detection and shader graphs :) Appreciate it whenever it comes out if its a good idea...

[@FuzzyDPozzy]

awesome tutorial!

[@AtLeastVision]

so i have done the shield more or less but how did u do the picture at 2:47. I have create one where the back is black and one where it is transparent but on both it is looking very weird and not like yours in the shield. Cause when i have it transparent it colors the Fresnal Color does like nothing and only the Color changes something, and when i use one with black background it is just black at the back so u can see through it

How did you export to your mesh out of blender? whenever I do it I get a lot of tiny pieces.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Good question. Forgot to mention I joined it again with Ctrl+J. :)

[@serj_1264]

@@GabrielAguiarProd hi Gabriel. Do you know if in the case of not doing Ctrl+J you could apply physics to the pieces??(i guess the pentagons and hexagons). Cos I'm thinking on a nice idea for a vfx breaking the sphere into pieces if the mapping remains. Thanks for answering the question of Earnest.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

@@serj_1264 Yes you could do that. Check out this video, I think it will help you on how you can achieve that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXEfqeBmqllrZY

[@craigfoulger5996]

I was following along right up until you added the property Vertexofsetfreq, and i cant find how to add it. Its clear its something from the properties window but you dont show what it is. Have i missed something

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

It's probably a vector 1 or a vector 2 that you can add in the plus sign on the blackboard.

[@craigfoulger5996]

@@GabrielAguiarProd i managed to figure it out in the end. Also added some noise to make the heigh of the vertices random. Ive never worked with shaders before dude so thank you for being my gateway!

A bit redundant to avoid the particle system, but you could try to instantiate it as a prefab

The first time you unwrap it, erase the UV maps. Then, unwrap again and you get the pentagons and hexagons.

What you can do without using HDRP or URP, is recreating the shaders I use here, with an asset like Amplify Shader.

[@buhamfoydali]

@@GabrielAguiarProd thank you

[@magnusm4]

I want to try this. But I tried a simple tutorial by Brackeys on Lightweight Render Pipeline and for some reason it randomly went purple and everything messed up. I could just be changing a simple value like 0.3 to 0.4 and suddenly it broke, or some other part stopped responding and it pretty much the whole thing broke multiple times. Even when I tried to carefully do every step. It just wouldn't work like running an old game without compatibility options on. Anything and everything just broke down for me at any step :/

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Make sure you create an empty project with Unity Hub. You can choose to start with HDRP or LWRP. It will be much easier and very unlikely to "broke". Good luck.

[@ssoltani498]

I saw another video of you about these effects using VFX. So what must be used finally for making these effects? Shader Graph? Or VFX?

[@yasinyurek7618]

So good.

[@albertgarcia3048]

Very very nice tutorial, indeed!! But I'm having a problem with the Sphere Mask in ShaderGraph: whatever I do, the ripples mesh is always displayed, like the Sphere Mask is not working. Do I need to import the UV mapping texture with any kind of special format? Alpha Source/Transparency? Also, the AlphaClipThreshold of the Unlit Master node should be controlled? I'm totally stucked!!
