Hey I was wondering is there a way to make this shader work in 2D? I know it's a bit odd but I've not managed to find any sources online with a shader for a force field like this but in 2D
I tried copying the shader into a clean template startup of URP and the intersection does not seem to work there in Game view, but it is visible in Scene view. Must have something to do with the depth buffer. Did you fiddle with some settings somewhere in the render pipeline to make the intersection work in Game view? Really nice tutorial as always :)
Great video! I'm having trouble hooking up the ripple piece of the shader, as you never seemed to focus on the 2 nodes that connect to the PBR Master/Output They look like position nodes, but that doesn't seem to work for me - could you tell me what they are?
I'm fairly confident now that it's a Position & an Add node, and the problem lies somewhere above in the Input Direction & Amplitude group - as once I reach the first Multiply node, it comes out Pink (instead of black, like it your video). After a bit more messing around, I discovered the issue was cause by my Vector3 for ImpactRippleDirection was set to (0,0,0) and setting it to any other value fixed my problem. Cheers!
Well that fixed it in the Shader Graph Editor, but when I save it - the effect disappears from the Scene View... I wanted to avoid downloading another Project to my cluttered HardDrive, but looks like I'm biting the bullet if I want that ripple effect :P
John Anthony Probably not. The Shuriken particles don’t convert to Entities. The Particle Collisions make interacting with the force field pretty simple. In DOTS, you’ll need to use VFX Graph and some custom Systems, since that you don’t get that for free. Doable just probably not on my to-do list. I was browsing through this stuff from last year and thought it could use a little update.
Unfortunately yeah like everything else requiring conversions between HDRP and URP, it's a lot of manual work to rebuild the materials/shaders one-by-one. And you'll need to use a different output node for the ShaderGraph; and the light values don't convert nicely so it does not convert neatly without a lot of trial and error for the settings.
Thank you for the video! It is brilliant, and hopefully there will be more shader graph tutorials in the future. 😀😀😀😀
Agreed!! Shader and VFX graph tutorials are in a huge scarcity. ;w;
Thank you so much!!
thank you for providing the demo for free!
I can't find the old video. Is it removed?

In your URP Pipeline Asset, make sure Depth Texture is checked.
I wonder if anyone could help me please? Everything seems to be working in the code but I can't actually see the effect happening physically.
Great video!

Please make one video on moving some color effects in ui Avatar frame
Does the force shield look the same if the camera is inside the sphere? Can you see the honey comb there as well?
The shader is double sided, so yes.
How can you put space between the exposed property in the editor ? o_0
How do you do this intersection shader for an opaque shader :(
Hey! Does it work with character mesh material?
Hi, does this work with a plane instead?
amazing!
where is the tutorial about this part?
And a video on how to constrain and move joints in DOTS and new Unity Physics 👌.
Hi Wilmer, we need a video for player movement using forces in DOTS and the new Unity Physics.
thaks for sharing!
Any chance we'll see shader graph explains using DOTS? Especially the collision. Thanks for the great videos!

Thanks for this! I tried it with HDRP and its not quite working as expected. Anyway advice?
I haven’t tried porting to HDRP shaders but will check it out this weekend

Thanks bro
Will this work for intersecting with a terrain?
