use ProceduralTexture instaed
GradientTexture
Unity Gradient Texture generator. Texture2D-Gradient generated dynamicly Editor-time, by ScriptableObject with Gradient-properties
usage example video ( Youtube ) <br>shader in example based on this, can be downloaded here
What's new:
- srgb / linear flag
- drag and drop as simple texture (Unity 2021.2 minimum)
- Encode to PNG
- stackable preview
Problem
I. Shader Graph no Exposed Gradient
You can't expose gradient to material inspector
You forced to use Texture2D-based gradients
II. designing VFX with gradients
While designing VFX using gradients you need to tweak colors and positions, according to vfx timings/size etc, what makes you:
- optional pause vfx
- optional make screenshot
- switch Photoshop or rearrange windows to have both (Photoshop and Unity) visible on screen together
- tweak Gradient as is in Photoshop or according to screenshot, or according to Unity-view
- save file
- switch to Unity window 1-2-3 times to reimport Texture or reimport by hand (if Playmode is active?)
- check visual changes
- repeat all
Solution
Texture2D-Gradient generated dynamicly Editor-time, by ScriptableObject with Gradient-properties <br>I. Exposed in shader graph as Texture2D <br>II. faster iteration with no need to switch to Photoshop, rearrange windows, save file, reimport
Summary
