Question How can I create this non screen-space 'Ripple-Shockwave' effect?

Hi there,

what I want to a achieve is a displacement effect like this:



I found this great tutorial which provided a good baseline:

However, I don't want to implement this as a screen-space effect or only render the 'shockwave effect' to the sprite but make a ring-sprite transparent and displace everything that renders below that ring-sprite.

Do any of you have a good starting point on how to implement something like this in URP?

Many thanks in advance

 

I made Dynamic Radial Masks asset exactly for such "radial" effects. It is just one node implementation inside Shader Graph that calculates common shader mask with values in the range of (0, 1). You can use output of that node in any effect you need: vertex displace, discarding mesh fragments (creating holes), blending shader properties and so on.

 

wow - your asset looks really cool!

Will it work with URP and the 2d renderer?

 

It supports all render pipelines and can be integrated into ShaderGraph and Amplify Shader Editor.
