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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@toreole2993]

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

[@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!

[@hmmm8500]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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!

[@thepeacefish]

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

[@matthewwarner3909]

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

[@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!!

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.

Brackeysss can u consider making a intermediate scripting series? like actual game making not theory but practical how and when to use object-oriented programming, practical use of singletons, constructors, inheritance, static types, enums, structs, delegates and events, and all of advanced stuff, like no one rly shows this everyone are making begginers guides, or they just show theory, i know its a lot of work but if u can consider that, would you guys like it?

[@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.

[@LucGendrot]

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

[@mastergamerx]

yay good stuff brackeys keep up these videos of shader graphs gotta love dope effects

[@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.

[@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!!

[@cg56578]

For the holographic lines texture, set the Wrap Mode to "Repeat" or it won't work.

[@digital_down]

I’ve never used Unity but at first glance I thought you were starting the video out using Blender, because of the Suzanne monkey which is of course the mascot for Blender 3D.

[@jordanc.m.6735]

I made something almost exactly like this last summer but with a sine wave instead of a texture. These features would have been very handy back then

[@danieledesa100]

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

[@JohanAnderssonV]

YES!

[@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!

[@Subbestionix]

I'd suggest adding a second line texture moving up instead of down so it looks more complex

[@ij20man35]

Heres a Tip: Make sure you don't use a hologram texture with a partly transparent gradient. Make sure to use a gradient that goes from black to white. Again make sure there are no transparent parts or it will make the entire shader not appear, in my experience.

[@Coolkidstan]

[@pimpace]

Hey Brackeys! I like your vids very much. You asked what effect you could show us next time; for me I'd like to see a planetary atmosphere glow effect. (or a simple mesh-outer-glow-effect, also if it correspond to lightsources/shadows would even more better) We can find them all around for unity, but all of them for the old engine and shader lab. So I'd like to see how can you make one in the new shader graph! Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

[@Pinsbis]

Amazing videos you've got here about Shader Graph! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I'd like to ask one cool efect for the next video, what about geometry intersection highlighting (like Fortine storm walls)? :D Also, would you have some further reading material for more studying? :)

[@murrayblue7983]

Brackeys you the truth!

[@Naveication]

Umm, when you inverted the base texture that you used for the alpha values and added that to the emission, that basically meant all the parts that have the lowest alpha (as in almost invisible) will have strong emission but the parts that have a high alpha (the ones you actually see) have a very low emission value... I think that's basically the opposite of what you wanted to achieve, inverting was not the right way to go here, I think you might have confused the definition of alpha with transparency, where high values for transparency usually mean less visible, high values for alpha means more visible

[@digimikeh]

Does shader graphs workflow is the same for HD and Lightweight pipelines ?

[@ssojyeti2]

thank you brackeys

[@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?

[@NoelJasik]

You're great youtuber.

[@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.

[@TripleZmediA]

im finallystarting to understand how this stuff works!!!! THANKSSSS

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

I have never seen this Shader Graph system before. What version of Unity is this in?

[@DJZ3XY]

Using a remap from the random range, with in min max set to 0 and 1, and out min max set to 0.8 and 0.9 should be better, because it produces the same effect while avoiding an if statement.

[@pythooonuser2233]

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.
