Repository for the Dissolve Effect in the URP Unity

Dissolve Shader

Note: Use the DissolveEffect Script in the asset with it.

• To Create a Material out of the Dissolve Shader:

1. Right Click on the Dissolve Shader in Assets
2. Create
3. Material

• Attach this material onto the object. Now expand the material attached to the game object you will see multiple components:

1. Albedo - For the Albedo Texture to be applied
2. Metallic - For the Metallic to be applied
3. Normal -For the Normal to be applied
4. Occlusion - For the Occlusion to be applied
5. Color - The color of shade to be added in adition to Albedo (Default: black) (Reccommended: White if no albedo texture used)
6. EdgeColor - The color of the edge you want to see when the dissolve occurs
7. Dissolve (Slider) - Slider to check dissolve effect. 0 for complete dissolve 1 for no dissolve
8. EdgeWidth - Width of the edge
9. Noise Value - Varying this varies the noise level rendering different texture
10. Smoothness - For texture smoothness
11. Tiling - For texture tiling
12. Offset - For texture offset

Note: Create a new material from the shader for each object. Use Texture for Albedo, Normal, Mettallic and Occlusion where possible for better quality.

• Attach the DissolveEffect Script to the object where you attached the material.
• Go to the DissolveShader and look at the inspector and check the properties
• Search for the value Dissolve and look at its key should be something like "Vector1_CC876C20"
• Add this to DissolveVal in the DissolveEffect Script
• The Appearance Value is by default at 0. Changing the Appearance Value results in change in the Minimum Appearance Value
• Appearance Limit is for complete appearance (By Default it is at 100), feel free to tweak these values to change the amount of appearance.
• Set Appearance Speed as you wish
• After Adding to MRTK Buttons Call:

1. Function InitiateAppearance() to start appearance effect
2. Function InitiateDisappearance() to start disappearance effect

Scale Effect

• Add the ScaleEffect script to the object to scale
• Keep Scale Value 0
• Set MaxScaleValue (Keep this small in the start around 0.01 and tweak as necessary)
• Set ScaleSpeed (Should be less than Max Scale Value)
• After Adding to MRTK Buttons Call:

1. Function InitiateScaling() to start auto scaling effect
2. Function InitiateDescaling() to start auto descaling effect
