PixFX 2d Shaders (2d 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
• ✅ Built for URP but should be compatible with Built-In and HDRP
• ✅ Demo scenes included (drag-and-drop ready)
• ✅ Customizable controls via material inspector and demo scripts
• ✅ Optimized for performance (PC & mobile)

📦 Included Shaders

• Character Rim Light Shader (with thickness & colour control & multi rim light capability)
• Pixel Water Shader (with animated edge, shimmers, sides & dynamic reflections)
• Pixel Art Light casting 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 (Should work with Standard and HDRP)
• 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. Extremely simple but will provide further documentation over time as I get feedback.

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 PowerHoof's PowerQuest software, 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.
