Unity Graphics
A collection of URP shaders and render features.
Developed and tested with Unity 2020.3.16f1 and URP 10.5.1.
Table of Contents
Fog Skybox
A skybox shader that blends with fog.
Blob Shadows
A render feature that adds support for blob shadows:
- Either circle or box shape
- Can be used as primitive AO
- Includes an example shader that supports receiving blob shadows (an extension of Toon Shader Lite)
Performance
- Measured on Snapdragon 845 via Unity's GPU Profiler (OpenGL ES)
- Setup: ~20 capsules
- Blob Shadows:
- All circles
- Resolution per unit = 8 (further increase does not improve visual quality)
- Shadow Distance = 15
- Shadow Maps:
- Shadow Resolution = 256
- Shadow Distance = 20
- Soft Shadows On
- 1 Cascade
Note: sampling shadow maps when rendering shadow receivers is NOT taken into account.
Results (in ms):
- Blob: 0.08 (Submit) + 0.21 (Render) = 0.29
- Shadow Maps: 0.05 (Setup) + 0.21 (PrepareDrawShadows) + 0.21 (Submit) + 0.13 (Render) = 0.6
Drawing
Runtime drawing on the GPU side with configurable brush (color, size, hardness).
Layered Grass
Grass shader made with the technique that is typically used for fur (Reference).
Warning: the shader has poor performance on both mobile and desktop platforms. It is only a technical demo, which might not be suitable for production even if further optimized.
Billboard Grass
Billboard grass shader:
- Automatic random spread
- Per-chunk frustum culling (in the screenshot above, chunk size is 15x15)
- LOD system: the further the grass chunk from the camera, the sparser it is
- Interactive: the grass reacts to contacts with other objects
- Receives and optionally casts shadows
- Wind animation
Geometry Grass
Grass implemented with geometry shader:
- Grass placement mesh is generated via Job System
- Automatic LOD system implemented in the geometry shader (controlled via material properties)
- Based on this tutorial
Matcap
Basic Matcap shader. Matcap textures are taken from this repo.
Toon Terrain
Lightweight toon terrain shader.
- Configurable ramp (specified as a texture)
- Shadow casting and receiving
- 4 layers (splats) max
Parallax Ice
Ice shader imitating depth.
