Making A Zoom Shader

Zooming by shader effect can be useful for many scenarios such as zooming in without changing the scene with the game camera's zoom, but how does it work?

there is an untapped black market for shader tutorials as youtube shorts

[filiformis]

I can't believe Jerma kidnapped Acrola and is keeping him in his basement in Boston while forcing him to make shader tutorials.

[LenteGameDev]

Shaders don't have to be complicated! Ones like these are a great starting point 😊

[eeee]

the means by which all texture samples are revealed🍏🃏

[Haapavuo]

My favourite weirdo just posted a short! Well done!

[lil_borgor]

Whenever i jump into your shorts it feels like i watched a whole movie within 60seconds lmao... anyways really cool video!

[JackLe]

Just use a matrix and call it a "viewport" matrix and invert it while sampling

[xirulent]

first acerola short goes insanely hard a year later

[CloudColumncat]

That alligator has a really good UVW map💀

[mrcool]

it's a valid approach if you want this effect for complex geometry

but for a plain quad (which is the typical scenario) wouldn't it be just less hassle and better performances to move vertices with a transform matrix?

[MyAmazingUsername]

This is the shorts police. Your shorts are regulation-length. If you look in the letter under your seat you will see that you get a like!

How do you replicate the cameras of doom and blood

[SoI-]

is there a way to prevent the sides from extending out when the texture is away from the edges?

[robwaters]

I got big dog status it ain’t no secret

[mantacid]

You pointed out a difference in the end part of the short, but I can’t exactly tell what’s happened. Could someone explain?

[kevincomerford]

Lol. He just skips right over rotation because it's too hard to explain in this format.

[delofon]

my dumass thought this wasn't a scaling shader video but rather something else 💀

[Cyberfishofant]

i'm an idiot, but why does a scaler between 0-1 increase size?
