I’m having issues trying to produce a certain effect with Shader graphs. I basically want an image to be projected on to an object in a way it is seamlessly projected over the edge. Another way of putting it is having the object ‘be a window’ that has a texture behind it. I have a youtube video example in blender of what I want it to look like as well as my current progress visually of what is currently wrong in unity. I perhaps did not choose the best texture to display what my issue is so if you need me to change it to something easier to see I can. Also ignore the white triangles that appear on the faces in certain positions on the blender example. I’ve tried digging around a bit online and I can’t find too much on the specific effect I want.
you’ll either want to sample a cubemap, or use screen position uv’s to make it constant in size (though you’ll want to offset it based on view direction etc to prevent it from looking like a texture pasted to the screen)
I have tried getting that code to work and it does seem to compile but whenever I create a Material with it to apply to the cube it doesn’t work.
I created a cube map and then right clicked the shader and pressed Material, I then put the cubemap on the material. I then tried to apply this material to the cube but it doesn’t let me and it lets me apply it to the skybox but it doesn’t change anything. I also tried forcing the shader on to an object by creating a material and changing the shader from hdrp lit to the shader while its applied to the cube and the cube just disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
I saw something in the original post about the cube being inverted and so I wonder if that has something to do with my issue.
Alright i did some testing and it definitely does work with built in shaders and I did what you did and it works, just not in hdrp but regardless I don’t really care whether its in hdrp or not. How might I go about getting it to look like the blender example? What might that look like in code? Could the order I placed the nodes and what part of the nodes I used in blender help that?
there always seems to be seams, but if you were to use triplanar you could reduce this, or maybe if you had a texture that tiles in all four directions.
