A [FREE] Monument Valley style shader

The popularity .. of a gradient?

 

Cool! Thanks.

 

You can also use it as a starting point for other effects. For example, in our game (Commander), we don't use lights, but we use a similar approach, but combining it with the models texture to get nice atmospheric effects, and match the planet's lighting.

 

You beat me to it.

 

@JamesArndt Hey thanks for the shader! Looks great!
Is this mobile friendly?

 

iirc the monument valley shader is not supposed to receive light, but instead have its own built in one's that are directional only.

 

That game is really pretty



That got me thinking, notice how they do a red gradient on everything that face the left side and a blue gradient for everything that face the right? Also looks like light is constant everywhere, maybe not so surprising when you think on how the world works

 

yeah different gradient based on what the normal facing is?

 

Maybe light is coming from bottom left corner or top left, with objects not casting shadows, and shadows from light are blue, or in Unity case the equator color of the ambient source is purple/blue, light is yellowish, and theres a gradient fog going from top (red) to bottom (white/null). The ambient occlusion map is showing a sort of warmth too in cavities.

All that easy to replicate in unity except the gradient overlap in my opinion.

Here's my hacked up attempt with just Unity stuff.

 

Shameless plug, for anyone interested, my 'gradient shader pack' is pretty popular, contains over 100 gradient shaders: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/9403
