For everyone using Unity 2020 where the main node is now split to a Vertex and Fragment node, you need to add a Split node to split the Combine out to show the Alpha Channel that can be linked to the Alpha channel in the Fragment Node. Steps are: 1. Add Split Node. 2. Link Combine RGBA(4) to Split In(4) 3. Link Combine RGBA(4) to Fragment Base Color(3) 4. Link Split A(1) to Fragment Alpha(1) Thanks to CodeMonkey for explaining the new new changes. This specific change is at 4:47 in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6uqfqiGbtCmbrc

I'm going through the basic coding in Unity tutorials right now, but decided to comment on a newer video. Your tutorials are so good man. Easy to follow and interesting to keep watching. Clear, nice voice with smart explanations for terms depending on the audience (or target group) of the video. I'll definitely keep watching your tutorials throughout my junior dev years and recommend your channel to others. Thanks for making these videos!

I'm really glad that you posted this video, I've watched 2 tutorials about the same concept. everything was looking good until I reached the end .. somehow it won't render the offset and the colors ... when I saw that you upload this video I give it another try and it worked!! Now I can finally sleep in peace :"( Thank you so much !!

Thanks for another great Tutorial Brackeys!! Keep the awesome content coming!!

[@johanolofsson6103]

Great stuff! Since this is pixel art, I would love to see this effect being applied to the discrete pixels of the actual sprites instead of the render target pixels. A part from that, amazing!

[@freakymundo]

Awesome! Getting confy with shader graph is one of the keys to great visuals =)

Just want you to know that before seeing this video I had never TOUCHED shaders, but after watching it - and almost dying of frustration for 6 hours because I couldn't get it right - I finally managed to create a very nice shader for my game. So hell yeah, thanks a lot

[@aaronthiel2240]

Great Tutorials Brackeys! Thanks for your hard work!

[@Oxmond]

1 million subscribers!!! Congrats Brackeys! 👏❤️🤓

[@nicka3375]

Amazing tutorial. Feedback: the Add node in your shader graph causes the edge color to add with the underlying sprite color. To preserve the edge color, replace the Add node with a Blend node and choose Mode>Overlay. That will make the colored edge overlay (i.e. replace) so that the edge color is preserved - which I think it is the desired effect.

[@abhaasshah5740]

You are simply the best teacher of the digital era!

[@LuisGRano]

If your sprite is still showing as a blank square even after following every step, you just need to connect the alpha (A(1)), from the Sample Texture 2D of the MainTex(T2), to the alpha(1) from the Fragment section (below Base Color(3)). Seems like in lastest versions of Unity they changed the Sprite Unlit Master, so there are some differences.

[@Tiollo88]

Thanks for sharing, I was having this exact problem with Unity 2020.2 :)

[@dandragomir6413]

tyyyyyyy

[@nanref8326]

You are a hero

[@N1ghtR1der666]

I already tried this but all I get is a white square the size of the sprite, none of the actual image is there, even thought the preview looks fine

[@dead_____line3401]

did you solve the problem with the white square? @@N1ghtR1der666

Amazing tutorial! Gonna miss ya!

[@sanovictus]

Cool shader! I'm curious though, how would you set up the dissolve to be pixelated? Right now the dissolve is smooth, which contrasts with the art style

[@N4m43]

I don't know much about shaders, but you can probably adjust the scale of the noise so it has the same pixel size as your sprite. This way you can't have several noise tiles per pixels.

[@bevdev5365]

You could either make a camera shader that pixelates the final image or I **think** pixel perfect camera will set the entire image to a more pixel art style

[@wokarol]

I would start with calculating grid id using floor() and I would use that for noise. Now you just need to match pixel size with sprite's one

[@TheAmbientWarrior]

I'm no shader expert, but wouldn't it be easiest to use a pixelated noise pattern instead of that more splotchy one? Seems like you'd have your effect right there. Though I don't know how that would effect the offset for the outline effect.

[@bevdev5365]

@@TheAmbientWarrior This solution would work however outlines wouldn't be rendered correctly. Pixel perfect camera would take the high res effect and scale it down to a defined pixel per unit value, however with this solution, it may end up making the outline look choppy

[@vietdungdev]

Very Nice ! Thanks !

[@SavaM]

Thanks for the nice tutorial :)

[@pufflesrock09]

Love the Shader Graph videos! Would you consider doing a Toon/Cel shading one (maybe one that recieves shadows)?

[@fancygoat1352]

Yo Brackyes! I love you vids! They help me so much and they are straight to the point, but also very entertaining. However, I do have some struggles making UI look “flashy”. So like particles, or even possibly creating custom shaders for the UI (like animations similar to Hearthstone, etc.) If anyone knows anything, please let me know, too. Thanks for reading, and have a great day :D

[@svetlinsvilenov8739]

Very much a yes for an outline effect. Would be cool if it could be blurred, e.g. fading out the further it gets from the object :)

It's that way we find the edges!!! :-o . Of course it works, because the noise is smooth, not step, then we place one over another and get the edges... Genial! ^^
