The Basic hologram gives you the bare basics, such as Fresnel light and transparency.

Basic

Properties

Basic PBR Properties

These properties control the basic interactions between Unity’s lighting and the object. Includes the crucial emissive color settings that control the appearance of the holograms.

  • Output Mode - Controls whether the shader outputs color to Base Color, Emission, or both.
  • Base Color - Controls the color of the object.
  • Base Texture - Also controls the color of the object. This is multiplied by Base Color.
  • Normal Texture - Used to change the normal vectors on the surface, which influences lighting interactions. May not be noticeable due to the usage of bright emissive light.
  • Normal Strength - A value between 0 and 1 which controls how strongly the Normal Texture impacts the surface normals.
  • Alpha Clip Threshold - Any pixel with an output alpha value below this value is culled entirely.
  • Metallic - A value of 0 means the lighting on the surface is like a non-metal (wood, paper, plastic). 1 means it is like metal
  • Smoothness - A value of 0 means the object is completely rough. 1 means it is highly polished and smooth.
  • Ambient Occlusion - A value of 0 means no ambient light reaches the object. 1 means the full ambient light reaches the object.

Fresnel

Fresnel adds light to the edge/rim of an object.

  • Fresnel Power - The size of the Fresnel/rim. Higher values mean the rim is smaller, but this should be a value above 0.
  • Fresnel Color - Color of the Fresnel/rim light. Can be different to the Base Color.
  • Use Scene Intersections - Should the shader detect when a pixel is just in front of another scene object? Note: only able to detect opaque objects.
  • Intersection Power - The size of the intersections. Larger values mean a thinner intersection glow.
