Unity Shader Graph - Intersection Effect Tutorial

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

How many times do I say "depth"? 🤔 Here's what can be done with this, a Terrain Scanner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3XWmaOnnbB3sJI Here's some resources I collected while doing this video: Scene Depth: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@6.9/manual/Scene-Depth-Node.html Screen Position: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@6.9/manual/Screen-Position-Node.html Eye Space: forum.unity.com/threads/what-is-eye-space-in-unity-shaders-nb-its-not-view-space.797775/ Scene Depth Explanation: www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/jqpvx4/an_explanation_of_the_scene_depth_node/

Hello! Could you make a video about shader which blend mesh and terrain? It's very difficult to find good tutorial, but when you explain it makes very easy :) Thanks!

[@fury9941]

Loved your tutorial. Simple and straightforward.

[@chrisrakkestad]

❤❤ now in Unreal please :D

[@YA-dn8be]

I'm really appreciate your video. I want to run it in webgl. but when I build to web, the shader doesn't work😢. Do you know why?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Make Sure the reference of the MainTex is _MainTex. If there isn't a property named MainTex create a Texture2D, name it MainTex and double-check the reference is _MainTex

[@aag7482]

Do you know how you could make this work when using an orthographic camera? It just disappears for me.

[@Eacaw]

Just the effect I wanted to learn more about for a current project, thanks! Keep up the awesome, easy to follow tutorials.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks, perfect! Glad I can help 👍

You should use more color in your example scene. Right now everything is gray and it's hard to see what's going on.

[@ZockerAxel]

Is it possible to only show this effect around intersections with a object in a certain layer? Or any way to limit the amount of objects it works with?

[@okanaydin06]

Hi, I want to make blend transition, so I had my intersection shader which runs but just with opaque objects that can seen on camera. I want to make this effect with an object that doesnt seen on camera. How can I do that?

[@kumorikuma]

You are the VFX GOAT. You're helping make my game jam project come to life! tysm

[@suicune2001]

When you show the cubes sinking into the floor, I kept imagining some badass boss smirking with his arms crossed sinking into the floor after giving you some major burn. XD

[@Ooaic]

hi, I would like to make a shader to merge one or more 3D meshes when they intersect and unmerge them when they move away, similar to the metaball effect, do you have some tutorial or unity asset pack for this?

[@bataraza2]

Gabriel, your content is so so so good man

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thank you ❤️

[@seve8138]

Hi, very insightful! Would it be hard to make objects with this shader to intersect with themselves? I can't find a way.

[@bigcaka7725]

im trying to do this too since the zwrite on fix for transparent shaders doesnt work in 2022

[@blacksheep1337]

Muito obrigado pelo conteúdo, amigo.

[@Damian_h]

do morphers or shape keys work with vertex offset effects?. Let say a hand changing shape can u apply some kind of effect? or it will keep the original vertex pose of the mesh. Great tutorials !!!

[@kaptnkarma4805]

@0:56 in that you turned on 'Depth Texture' and 'Opaque Texture' in the render pipeline settings for URP... im currently making a project in HDRP but i cant find the same options for HDRP... any solutions please

[@joshswanson0]

Appreciate the extra visualizations. Your tutorials are very intuitive!

[@palanolho82]

Hi there, Nice tutorial as always! Would you be able to say how would you adjust it (or make it different if you wanted to apply a similar effect but to an opaque object with textures? Imagine you have a stone pillar inside lava, the stone pillar's edge near the water would be brighter because it's very hop and moulted (like iron getting out of the forge) Many thanks in advance.

[@gr3chu]

This is great! I have a question though: is it possible to get a color from intersecting geometry? To get a nice blend between objects around the edges? I'm thinking rock on a green surface representing ground. Rock is using this effect, and the intersection on the rock is taking color from the ground?

congrats on getting publisher of the week!

Thank you! ❤️

man, you super. ı love you.

Hi could you make a tutorial on stand energy effect from jojo?

[@Kaldrin]

Thank you very much it's what I was looking for!

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Glad I could help!

[@warriorcast8567]

so, is there a way to get this to work in the source engine?

[@elival8267]

thank you !

[@PaulGeraskin]

Wooooooow!!! Thank you so much!!

[@mariaxr6426]

Hello! Amazing video 🙂 Very inspiring! Does this work in VR for standalone VR headsets?

[@Ggez-o1n]

Nice tutorial, Gabriel. I have a problem regarding creating a rapier pierce effect. My effect needs to have a different color for the head and trail, even though they use the same mesh. I don't know how to achieve this. Thank you for your hard work.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You can create a gradient via shader. Here's two examples: Stylized Trails: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raeuZ4CEodJ2eac 2D Gradients: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWeVepylYrapoNU

[@Ggez-o1n]

@@GabrielAguiarProd Thank you very much. You have helped me a lot.

[@ekawooha5870]

the effect didnt work for me !! even at [4:26] why ??

[@jeppetofft]

Perhaps it's because you placed the last "Subtract" node into the "Ambient Occlusion" input instead of the "Alpha" input. If you can't find the "Alpha" input, you should navigate to the "Graph Settings" within the "Graph Inspector" located in the upper right corner. Here, you should modify the "Surface Type" to "Transparent." Hope this helps!

[@rishatmirgaliev6722]

Can someone explain me how to do this in blender? 😅

[@_g_r_m_]

I just find it so satisfying when something is that easy to do in shader graph. Unlike custom shadows, what a pain in the ass.

[@BogdanKrylov]

hi! if it possible to do seamless shader for the orthographic camera?

[@shakoret]

Very smart, ty man ❤

hi, i want to ask about your course on udemy,. I'm confused to choose which one 1. visual effects for game unity 2. unity vfx graph I am very beginner, which of your two courses should I choose first?

[@darthsquirrel4247]

I would go for the first one as it is a but more suitable for beginners and you get really nice results

[@brayandelmee2989]

i'm a bit confused on how to use this effect on a fbx with it's own material. Since the shader graph uses transparency how could you have your object with its own texture and this effect on top ?

[@CalebRoenigk]

Use the alpha value from the transparency in the shader as a blend between two different shaders or between two different effects

[@Sammysapphira]

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand how shaders work.
