So currently working finishing up on a prototype/proof of concept and been looking at Black Friday sales and stuff I had marked for watching. So I am wondering if Amplify is a good investment for someone just starting out.
Been looking at it and current plans are to stick with Low-Poly or Stylized, rather than HD or Realistic Quality.
Amplify has several products. I suppose you mean Amplify Shader? If so, are you aware of the built-in Shader Graph?
It’s been many years since I last used Amplify Shader or ShaderForge (RIP). But general tendency over the years specifically for HDRP and URP was to move away from those towards Shader Graph. However I can’t say how they compare feature-wise.
Given that it’s a prototype it doesn’t sound like a meaningful investment over Shader Graph at this point. Sales come and go every quarter so no need to snap it today despite the urge.
