    Hi,

    Does this only work with sprites?

    No, it's work also for UI Images and UI Canvas.

    Can it be used with UI Images, UI Canvas or 3D model materials?

    It's also work for UI Images and UI Canvas, Shadero is mainly designed for 2D

    Can it be used with Animated Sprites (note: Animated in Unity's Mechanim) Sprites?

    Yes, Shadero Sprite generate a shader that can be use in any situation.

    Did you get it working properly with Sprite Tilesets?

    Using personalised shaders effects with tilesets is particular but there are many ways to use it.
    It depends on how you used the tilesets and the wanted effects.

    You can do manything with Shadero Sprite and it's work great with single sprites. That doesn't mean it couldn't support tileset / spritesheet.

    I thinks that when you understand properly Shadero, it could be a very useful and powerful tools, we use it mainly for our game productions.

    Version 1.5.0 WIP

    New version including new nodes, now you can make shader like this to improve your character animation.

    The Node system used introducing the new Automatic Lerp and Fix Sides UV

    Example of automatic animated face.

    Here is an example of hot to make 15 differents expression of a character face with a the help of a simple 128x128 texture.

    upload_2018-1-2_11-40-35.png

    We use the fluidify from Photoshop, it's incredible of what you can do with it. Each deformation use a texture of 32x32, with the help of the SpriteSheet Frame UV, we can generate a single texture with multiple deformation.

    *A better tutorial using Photoshop will be available soon

    upload_2018-1-2_11-43-50.png

    The best point of this technique is that you can animated any deformation between them in 60 fps or even more. With a nice and smooth result.

    Pretty cool your Asset! I just want to reask if something like 3D-material-shading is working?
    Like a simple 3D Dissolve:


    Thanks!

    Did you mean to have the same effect with 2D shader ?

    you can create basicaly any kind of similar effect with Shadero

    Hey!

    The tool looks great.

    Is it possible to extend the tool by adding custom function nodes or do can we only use the pre-made nodes?

    Thanks

    For the moment, we haven't planned yet customs nodes.
    Shadero Sprite has many nodes that can already be used to create many effects of all kinds.

    If you have a specific node request, we would be more than happy to add it on our next release.

    What we are trying to do with Shadero Sprite is to simplify as much as possible the production and creation time.

    Is there support for flow maps or something similar?
    I saw that deformation feature above and that's already close.
    Also, anything that would help authoring flow maps? Is liquifying in PS the only option?

    And does shadero work for particle systems? Could be a great thing for animating clouds, flames,... Everything really.

    Hello,

    i am somehow lost :( I am trying to use Shadero Sprite Pro for one of my new project. But as soon as i wanna build a shader i get a loop of these errors (as you can see on the right side)

    upload_2018-2-21_21-3-21.png

    This happens for me as soon as i am Connecting a New Texture with a preview.
    What exactly is going wrong here? :(

    I am using Windows 10 with Unity 2017.3.0f3
    I also have the same error on my Macbook with Sierra i just noticed.
    I hope you can help me :(

    Kind regards

    Hi, connect first the rgb from new texture to the build shader. The preview doesnt need to be liker to the builder shader.

    Hey,

    thanks for the fast answer, i also noticed that the Texture Preview is the problem.
    But could you guys maybe then fix this that this combination is not possible?
    Because it makes your entire editor hang as the errors are looping and blocking anything from working.

    Beside this, i love your Tool :) I finally have a solution for some issues i had in the past.
    You guys rock!

    Hello,

    it is shortly me again.

    @vetasoft
    i was looking into this tutorial now
    https://forum.vetasoft.store/topic/80/tutorial-how-to-create-a-morphing-perfect-texture-uv

    and as soon as i wanna create the UV map by using your editor, i get the very same error loop like before as soon as i am connecting the UV to RGBA to the preview texture.

    I investigated this error now (thank god im a QA Engineer :p )
    And noticed that the plugin is not able to create the Cache Folder under Plugins to save the generated texture preview.

    If i create this folder manually, it works (as it seems).

    Kind regards

    Hey, I have an issue that maybe someone encountered :
    I used one of the preset (energy light) on a UI Image and it looks great in the editor. But when I compiled and tested on my android tablet, the effect is just not there.
    I added the shader to the "Always included shaders" in Settings>Graphics but it hasn't changed a thing.
    I have no error showing or anything wrong.
    Is there something I need to do? (Beginner in shaders)

    Hi Sybere,

    In order to reproduce and solve this issue

    Could we have more details, what Unity version did you use in what plateform ?

    Hey guys, do you have any .asset files uploaded for the shaders you've posted tutorials for? Really cool stuff but takes a while for me to recreate some of them by hand when using the guides.

    Thinking about it, it would be really cool if you had a place on your website where Shadero users could upload their shaders for other users to download.

    Hi,

    I purchased Shadero some time ago. Now I get this error:

    Assets/ShaderoSprite/Plugins/Editor/Framework/NodeCanvasSceneSave.cs(6,9): error CS0118: `NodeCanvas' is a `namespace' but a `type' was expected

    This is probably because in my project there is also Asset called NodeCanvas.

    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-scripting/nodecanvas-14914

    Do you have any idea how could I use both in same project?

    I'm enjoying this far. I exited the editor without first saving the shader project and it appears that I am unable to edit the asset in the editor anymore. Is this correct behavior? Can I select a shader in the project view and open it in the editor or must it also be saved as a "Shader Project" before I am able to edit in the editor again later?

    Second question, is it possible to pass data in to the shader from script? It would be nice if I could change shader values in real time by manipulating runtime variables.

    Nevermind my question about the runtime variables. I was able to figure out how to use material parameters. But I am still confused about simple workflow in the editor. What is the process for opening an existing shader to continue work on it and/or make modifications/tweaks?

    Hello!

    I have been using for Shadero for a few weeks, and so far I am very happy with it. A congratulation is in order for developing such a powerful tool!

    I have a question, however. On most videos I've seen (like the one with the dwarven cards) the preview (or a preview texture) displays the effect in real time. That is, the UVs are moving according to the applied effects. In my editor, however, the effects are static. In order to preview them, I have to enter Game mode. I have enabled both the custom material option, and the Live Animation option

    Am I missing something here?

    in order to have a live preview the Game Scene must be always visible.

    Hi,

    I just purchased the editor and i'm having an issue. Whenever I play my scene, the shadero editor resets itself to a blank canvas. This makes it unusable for me as it makes iterating and testing new settings very time consuming.

    I'm attaching the error messages I see in unity when this reset occurs. They seem to indicate some sort of issue when caching/serializing the canvas to disk.

    It says i'm using 1.6.0

    Capture.PNG



    EDIT: I have figured out what leads to this issue. It only occurs on projects where the .net scripting runtime version is set to 4.6. The standard 3.5 works fine. This at least gives me a workaround since i can develop my effects in another 3.5 project and then have to manually move them to my main project.

    -twist distortion,filters color
    -hdr support

    I highly encourage you guys to do more examples before introducing more tools, you guys have very clear vision of what each node could do but as a user sometimes i find very little usefulness in some nodes. Those examples show me further use of shadero which is awesome! Thanks for the orb example!

    You're absolutely right about that, we'll do a lot of examples in the future to show the efficiency of the premade nodes. This is what we do with card effects, for example recently. Giving start ideas is also a priority for us.

    Water Reflexion with Shadero Sprite is really cool but a bit limited, is it possible to have water under some sort of terrain? in your example you are putting the water above all the other layers but i would like to have it on the bottom layer and reflects everything which is on top.a use case of this would be water under bridge. Grab pass seem to only grab sprites under neat. I tried to use render texture but didnt work to well and has performance cost to do that.

    An extra thing that can be used in certain cases is, detecting the edges of where the transparent areas start and have a foam effect, so there is some sort of cutoff between the ground layer and the water under neat

    Hi BrianBorg,

    it's certainly something that we can do with Shadero. We beleive that we can add a mask and interact with this mask to simulate the foam effect. We will do an example with this soon.



    Version 1.9 is on the way with new improvement and effect:

    - Introducing "S.O.F. Texture" Shadero Organic Format - The fastest way to add life to your game by adding realisting mouvement.
    - Add Human Breath Simulation Tools, using a realistic and fast breath algorithm.
    - Add Generate SOF Texture
    - Add Human Breath uv
    - Add Human Breath EX uv
    - Fix Mask2uv wrong count
    - more tutorials available at https://forum.vetasoft.com
    - Fix Blend Mode issue with Bluid Shader when the parameters change
    - Add Lerp UV
    - Add Multiple UV
    - Add Division UV
    - Add Addition UV
    - Add Substract UV
    - Add Shiny Only FX
    - Add Circle Hole FX
    - Add Mask with RGBA Alpha
    - Add Animated Infinite Zoom UV
    - Fix Right-Click menu position
    - Fix 3D effet Source

    Just waiting the end of a small tutorial for SOF Texture need a tutorial to understand how it's work. But basically, you can add breath simulation to any characters. It's shouldn't be hard for art tech designer.

    With this few optimized nodes:
    upload_2018-6-29_11-23-39.png

    You can generate an effect like this


    It's a simple way to simulate a breath and a movement from each side like this


    We beleive that a good tech art can improve a lot better the animation by changing the SOF Texture.

    This is how the SOF was made :

    upload_2018-6-29_11-35-10.png

    The first image is a vertical breath
    The second the left movement
    and the third the right movement

    May sound complicated but it's really easy after we understand the process

    We will go in-depth sooner


    We have also made a series of short video on our new youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ8Mcp85lvmrdNsqmtnMEkQ
    a new short video will by added every day

    We want to share a maximum of effect made with Shadero to prove the potential and also, to give new idea of what we can do with each particular node.
