Custom Effect

If the built-in effects cannot meet the requirements, users can custom your own effects.

There are two ways to customize effects:

1. Refer to Effect asset to create a new effect.

2. Based on built-in shaders. Copy the corresponding built-in shaders from the internal -> effects directory in the Assets panel to the Assets directory, and then customize them.

Preparation

Since the shader uses YAML as the flow control and GLSL as the shader language, it is necessary to have a certain degree of familiarity and understanding of these knowledge before customizing the shader.

For unfamiliar developers, we have also prepared some brief introductions:

• Introduction to GLSL Syntax
• YAML 101

This section will take custom a 2D effect and a 3D effect as examples to introduce the custom process in detail. For details, please refer to:

• 3D effect: rimlight
• 2D effect：Gradient
