PixFX 2d Shaders (Rim Light)

🚀 Overview

PixFX includes a set of simple but powerful 2d Pixel Art style Unity shaders that can be dropped directly into your project. These shaders will give your project the visual boost it needs, without the pain of writing custom shader code or drawing and animating complex visuals to accomplish a similar result.

🎨 Features

• ✅ Ready-to-use shaders with adjustable parameters
• ✅ Options for both Universal and Built-In Render Pipelines
• ✅ Demo scenes included
• ✅ Customizable controls via material inspector and demo scripts
• ✅ Optimized for performance (PC & mobile)

📦 Included Shaders

• Character Rim Light Shader (with thickness & colour control, shimmer animation, both single and multi rim light capability affecting one or more sprites)
• Pixel Water Shader (with animated edge, shimmers, sides & dynamic reflections)
• Pixel Art Light casting / wobble effect

🔧 Compatibility

• Built with Unity 2022.3.60 LTS but should work with 2020+ (Will do more testing on other versions and confirm)
• Supports: Universal Render Pipeline and Built-In
• Separate downloads for Render Pipeline support
• Works on PC, Mac and should work on Mobile due to high performance and light weight

📚 Documentation

Demo scenes to test every shader right away including one which includes all of them working together and effecting each other. 

Also includes a demo showing rim light affect on rain drops

Documentation package added and will continue to improve this over time.

Note:

The Character Rim Light Shader overrides the normal sprite renderer default lit material. I've tested this in all sorts of conditions including on PowerQuest, but if your character is already using a complex shader material, you may need to merge and combine the rim shader to have both work together. Otherwise, this will just be your new character shader material, in place of the Unity default.
