Really happy that you make shader tutorials, keep up the good work! :)

That mixed with shader that deforms or rotates or something for the dissolve and you can pull some awesome effects.

"Ok this will be easy..." ha. Thanks for posting the video. There is a large learning curve for Unity, so IMO this video is no where near easy.

Hey, so im having a difficult time understanding what this part of the code does:
...(tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv))*_DissolveSize);
I mean it works with just this also, clip(_StartingY + transition );
What are we adding to the transition when we add (tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv))*_DissolveSize)??
Thanks for the series, learning a lot !

[abdullahallkafi]

please make a tutorial on the low poly water shader that you are using.. Please!!

[giuseppe]

Why do I get a "syntax error: unexpected token 'sampler2D'" or "redefinition of 'float4'".

[chupi]

your videos help a lot with creative ideas for making video games and it's awesome thank you 😁

What's the best way to modify this to dessolve a object from the top to the bottom (or bottom to top) independend from the world position / rotation?

[erdemoden]

please make a video about use firebase realtime database to unity.

Very nice tutorial but what happens if I wanna use a transparent metallic texture?
how to proceed?

Hey N3K, love your vids ! Is the water in the background made with a shader ? If so, how is it done ?

[Knuckles]

Nice video!
But isn't it better to keep speed and starting time not in a c# script but inside of a shader and make effect with something like:
float transition = ( _Time.y - _startingTime) * _speed + _DisolveY - i.worldPos.y;
That way you don't need to call SetFloat in every update. Only once at the beginning of the effect for _startingTime.
I think there will be difference if there are hundreds of objects to dissolve and it is mobile platform.

Hi! How can I add Smoothness and Metallic sliders to the material with Unlit Shader?

[xiexiemoonie]

Sos un capo chabon! <3 Thanks for the videos!

[nguyenhienlinh]

Thank you very much for such a great tutorial!
I managed to create it easily, however, I could not make it dissolve by a custom texture. Why is that?

[FenrirVampire]

Great vid N3k, im actually trying to do something similar but with a radius but i got stuck on this part

fixed4 c = tex2D (_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex) * _Color;
fixed4 dis = tex2D (_DissolveTex, IN.uv_DissolveTex) * _Color;
float d = distance(_Center, IN.worldPos);

//clip(1 - (IN.worldPos.x / 2));
if (d > _Radius + _RingWidth)
{
o.Albedo = c.rgb;
}
else if(d > _Radius && d < _Radius + _RingWidth)
{
float trans =_Center - IN.worldPos + _Time.y;
clip(d + (trans + dis) * _RingWidth);
}
else
{
clip(-1);
}

Any tips?

[Mandrarine]

Cool shader. Btw, it's "dissolve"

[viliamlapcak]

Can you please make Card Game tutorial for mobile platform ?

[VegasVoltyaa]

Your introduction at the very beginning ... it is called resolving/rematerializing ... dissolving would be the opposite.
