Procedural Unity ShaderGraph Net Sub Shader

This shader provides a black and white alpha map resembling a net without using any predefined textures as input.

Sub Graph Preview	Usage Example

Note: The warping happening with tiling values != 1 can be used to counteract the stretching of the material that happens when the scale of the object changes.

Built with

• Unity3D Shader Graph

Features

Create a net of any size, density and thickness with this shader. The tiling parameter allows for offsetting any stretching caused by scaling the actual object itself.

Prerequisites

A Unity version supporting the HDRP/LWRP and ShaderGraph is needed to use this sub-shader!

Installation

• Download the .shadersubgraph file
• Save the file in your Project/Assets folder

How to use?

• Create a new shader
• Select "Create Node"
• Under "Sub Graphs" select the Net shader
• Plug your exposed values into the input
• Plug the output into the alpha channel of the master node

Important

• If you want to use the shader as suggested, as an alpha map, you need to set the Blend Mode of the master node to Transparent
• The tiling value has to be at least 1 on each axis, otherwise the procedural image will be scaled by 0
