Just referenced you in my bachelor's thesis for the wonderful toon shader video! 😍
Love you work so much!

[calendulaprox]

Just wanted to let you know this is one of my favorite youtube channels of all. Thank you

[arawn]

The tutorial I was waiting for! Thank you very much!

[Wilshirebs]

Hi This is very cool and a great tutorial, any chance you would know how to make it horizontal lines instead of a circle, just lines of waves moving up or down?

Hi @BinayLunar, I tried this today and followed it up until the MainTex texture part at 7:26. I cannot understand what is MainTex and cannot find the file 1621223 that u applied for texture in shader graph.
I am getting the error Material does not have _MainTex texture property when I am using a default Unity circle sprite. I am stuck here and cannot find much online about missing _MainTex for default sprites. I am new to Unity and still learning so your help would really take me many steps forward : ) Thank you in advance

Did all the same values, it looks ugly in mine. I wonder why.

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! How Can I Add This effect to 2D renderer for simulation explosion wave on screen?

[candenizgumus]

bro first of all thank you for the tutorial. My problem is I put this effect on my moving vortex. It works in the scene but when i start playing effect goes away. please help me

[filipexavier_g]

not work: Error assigning CUBE texture to 2D texture property '_MainTex': Dimensions must match
(int, intptr, bool&)

[axelsmaxel]

is this possible to achieve without use of the URP? I have already made a project and I don't want to add a bunch of high-storage stuff.

[pavanvenkat]

could you please tell me how to do it for full screen 2d ?

[Anton-mx]

Fabulous work! One question though! How can I activate this shader only on mouseclick? I tried a script only activating the created material with the shader to it on mouse click, but this doesn't work. Also further googling didn't sow results. I'm a noob and every hint in the right direction for my problem would be appreciated!

Great Tutorial - btw. do you know how performant is this shader?

[a.taoudi]

can u pleas do a water wave on what ever the object shape that react with it

[bloodinthedust]

is there anyway i can get this to work for 3d because i need to use it for my unity 3d game

[bitbengames]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! In normal URP it works well but my game uses the URP 2D Renderer. How can I modify the ripple shader to work in 2D Renderer? All it shows for now is black!

[sowtank]

Is there a way to make this work on ui?

[BrentonDusk]

Love this effect! Is there a way to do it through the camera? I know you can modify the full screen using a full screen pass (per your other video), but what if I have a camera looking at UI elements that I don't want to be affected, and a separate camera looking at the game elements, which I do want to be affected? Full screen pass would affect the UI elements as well, right? (I've lost progress the last couple times I upgraded Unity so I'm reluctant to dive in)

[gokcekapci]

Great video. Is it possible to apply this effect to the whole scene?

[dead_____line]

how to make the same effect in 3d urp ?
