The Diablo 3 VFX Shader with Unity.

OCEAN shader with Unity Shader Graph! PolyToots 2019-05-13 | Hello and welcome to, like, the 10 millionth water tutorial I’ve done. In this week’s video we’re looking at some more in-depth Unity Shader Graph features to make water, or an ocean, with shoreline/edge foam, depth, and waves.Shader is compatible with HDRP., *Edit*: it used to be compatible with LWRP but Unity changed something. I'll update this if it gets fixed!I'm using some pretty basic audio tweaks inside Premiere Pro for this video, so let me know if things sound a little off.

Quick Tip: Fixing bake issues for low poly meshes PolyToots 2019-04-04 | Hello hello,Just a quick little tip about avoiding some bake issues. We all get them, and we'll probably continue to get them until our final days, so in this video I check off some of the more bizarre problems that no manner of re-baking can change. And also show you how you can fix pretty much any bake issue with the power of your own paint brush.I'm using 3d Coat for this demonstration, but a lot of the issues are pretty universal with other products, like Xnormal or even Substance Painter.♥ Subscribe: tinyurl.com/y7hdjg38♥ Find me on the twitter: twitter.com/PolyToots● Get the free demo or buy 3d Coat: 3dcoat.com● Also on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/100980/3DCoat_V48● 3d Coat Forums: 3dcoat.com/forum/index.php● Music by Francis Preve

Using combined textures for effortless shaders in Unity. PolyToots 2019-03-18 | Just a little video outlining a pretty standard practise in the games industry, of compacting your textures down into unused channels, or creating complete “mask” textures that do a lot of the leg work for you, containing things like: Metallic, Roughness/Smoothness, Emissive, AO, Height, Alpha, etc and ultimately even something completely custom, if your shader needs it!I’m in Unity for this, and using ShaderGraph, but literally any shader editor will do.

Unity Shader Graph: Triplanar Shader Tutorial. PolyToots 2019-01-16 | Welcome to 2019! I'm only nearly 3 weeks late.In this tutorial we're going to build our very own triplanar mapping shader using Unity's Shader Graph. I'm using the HD render pipeline, but lightweight should be all fine and dandy.We cover the full triplanar experience, and then make 2 more variations of the same shader, one including projection on a uniquely mapped mesh, so you can add snow or moss or sand, etc to the tops of anything you want. Neat eh? Yeah it's neat.If you want to build this in amplify or shader forge, it's totally doable, it's actually a lot easier in those but don't let Unity hear me tell you that.♥ Subscribe to improve your chances of getting in the games industry: tinyurl.com/y7hdjg38● Rock and Boulders 2 pack I used: assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/exterior/rock-and-boulders-2-6947
