😦 i thought you could help me

[frail widget]

wait a minute. I'm trying to get this working myself first

[fallen pebble]

okay

ping me when you do it

actually when you finish it

[frail widget]

@fallen pebble ok so this is what I got (ik the gif quality is terrible). I'm going to eat something but I'll come back to this later

[fallen pebble]

oo it's perfect!!!

omg i cant wait

thank you again!

[frail widget]

@fallen pebble if you want to learn some basics of shader writing while waiting, you can check this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3penhrrKCYg (I found this video very helpful on understanding the basic structure of shader code and what vertex and fragment shaders do etc.)

[fallen pebble]

yep i will!

[fallen pebble]

but first i really wanna do this

it's exactly what i wanted

ping me when you come back

[frail widget]

i'm back. btw do you want the object to cast or receive shadows? do you want it to be affected by lights (like should it be brighter when you put some light source close to it)?

[fallen pebble]

hey

no i dont want

[frail widget]

neither shadows nor lights?

[fallen pebble]

acutally

i dont think i want shadows or lights but i want to look like this

we need to decrease the opacity a bit

[frail widget]

so just bit darker? that shouldn't be a problem

[fallen pebble]

yea

that guy told me that he used a Screen space shader that had a customizable static effect

[frail widget]

but you still want to add the shader to certain object and not fullscreen right?

[fallen pebble]

i want to add it to a plane

not fullscreen

[frail widget]

is it something like a computer monitor?

[fallen pebble]

it's a camera view

first i tried to use unity's free post processing grain effect but you can barely see it even with intensity on max

[frail widget]

if that's the case, you should probably make own post processing effect instead of applying it to a plane

[fallen pebble]

nah i better make that effect and apply it to the plane

and then im gonna put the plane in front of the camera

so that it gives the impression of a camera view

could you help me with it @frail widget

[frail widget]

I can try

[fallen pebble]

just show me how you did this

[frail widget]

gimme sec. I just changed to laptop and I'll recreate that quickly

[fallen pebble]

ok

[frail widget]

so this is the code I used: https://pastebin.com/LjMnPNzq

[fallen pebble]

okay and how did you make the shader?

which shader do i have to use

[frail widget]

the unlit one

[fallen pebble]

ok

ok the issue is that the shader is transparent

[frail widget]

hmm. are you sure

[fallen pebble]

yea

like i can see through the plane

[frail widget]

I don't understand how that could be possible. did you copy the shader code exactly as it was?

[fallen pebble]

yep

[fallen pebble]

i copied it from here

[frail widget]

in the preview it works tho... and you're sure the material is applied to the correct mesh?

[fallen pebble]

yes i's to a plane

i tried on a cube too

[frail widget]

I don't really know, it works for me with no problems

[fallen pebble]

oooh

i found why

i was using post process on my camera

but now how do i change the visibility

and color

cuz i wanna make the white gray

[frail widget]

by adding these few things you can allow transparency

[fallen pebble]

o

okay but how do i change the color now

instead of white

and how do i change the transparency cuz its the same now

[frail widget]

you could now change the alpha from here. I'm not sure how to get this looking good tho

[fallen pebble]

ah

[frail widget]

probably something like this

but in any case this doesn't seem like optimal approach. using a plane with a shader would be good for a ingame monitor but for post processing effects you should probably write your own effects (which I have very little idea of how to do)

[fallen pebble]

oh

yea but you can barely see unity's post processing unity grain

and idk how to make post processing

[frail widget]

You could probsbly yoink the shader from the post processing stack package and modify it little bit to make your own

[fallen pebble]

idk how

😔

[frail widget]

I dont know either. You could probably ask on the main channel or even #💥┃post-processing about how to modify post processing effects or something like that (or just how to make the grain more noticeable)
