✍️ I wrote an article on programming blur shaders for beginners. You do not need to be adept at either math or programming to understand how it works :) Going from the most basic/straightforward type of blur, to what you see below, and more! Lots of pretty pictures, media, and interactive code to learn from. -- Box blur, with clipping and radial weighting. (So, no longer really a box blur...?) 🔍 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Are these the best realtime shadows for Unity URP? I've not seen better, but if you have, then I'd like to see, too! Perhaps I might be inspired. 🕯️

🌧️ Heavy rain. More testing my generic/robust custom renderer feature in Unity URP. I'm using a fast 1/4th resolution 'rain buffer' accumulating multiple, transparent particle systems.

👀 Ever see a 3D sci-fi energy shield like this? Realtime, interactive (per-tile), procedurally animated, and has layers of shaders with particle effects - I wanted to make something unique and "technically advanced", but also modular for performance scaling. It's straightforward to address individual tiles and hook in your own effects and calls with custom events. I'll be posting this very soon (for Unity URP).

Censorship cube (pixelated blur).

Accidentally spawned overlapping portals, creating a flipped mirror universe (going through turns you around).

Halo: Simple graphics -&gt; better readability.

Volumetric fog (AERO) + GPU wave simulation. -- Interactive in Unity 6, URP. ✨ Already possible, you just need the texture.

💖 Cosmic water shader, ++ particles in Unity. 🔵✨

🧊 Frosty glass, w/ condensation + air bubbles. 🫧 -- Unity URP, volumetric lighting and GI.

Deus EX: MD's frosted glass panels. Playing for... research/reference. 🙂🤗 This game is ~10 years old! I love the masking effects, but you can see it's *not* rendering multiple layers of transparency. Most likely, they have a single blurred texture which they blend.

Glass with bubble particles, Unity URP. 🫧 ++ refraction, dispersion, scattering...

🌀 3D/spherical black hole simulation. + Lensing and bright accretion particles. #gamedev #unity3d #vfx

Unity URP glass - convincing results. -- (this is recorded from the editor).

Unity can read *.blend files with Blender installed. I can tweak values in Geometry Nodes and see updates "live" without having to export/import anything. #unity3d #gamedev #b3d #geometrynodes

Dynamic frosted glass and blur for Unity (URP). &gt; Similar to Doom and Deus Ex: MD (2016).

✨ I named my glass shader: -- 🔴🟢🔵 "PRISM" for a reason.

LOD/mip blur -- any, dynamic radius; fixed sample count regardless. On a quest for faster realtime rendering. &gt; Render texture aside, it's a single pass.

🟢🔵 Geometry nodes for realtime procedural rendering in Unity. Fast, arbitrary mesh generation and animation. #b3d #geometrynodes #gamedev

Interactive 3D space-time model visualization with data/state-information propagation as affected by 'gravitational fields', where the apparent or measured rate of activity/change of state(s) is [relatively] slower in regions pinned by high-mass objects (planets, stars...).
