Dot Matrix + Glitches
The Dot Matrix + Glitches Hologram effect transforms the object into an array of evenly-spaced dots that appear in screen-space. Each dot glows brightly based on the emissive color. Also adds the same glitching behavior as the Glitch hologram.
Parameters
Basic PBR Properties
- Base Emission Color Color - Controls the color of the object.
- Base Emission Texture Texture 2D - Also controls the color of the object. This is multiplied by Base Emission Color.
- Normal Texture Texture 2D - 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 Float - A value between 0 and 1 which controls how strongly the Normal Texture impacts the surface normals.
- Alpha Clip Threshold Float - Any pixel with an output alpha value below this value is culled entirely. Useful for Dot Matrix holograms.
- Metallic Float - 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 Float - A value of 0 means the object is completely rough. 1 means it is highly polished and smooth.
- Ambient Occlusion Float - A value of 0 means no ambient light reaches the object. 1 means the full ambient light reaches the object.
Fresnel
- Fresnel Color Color - Color of the Fresnel/rim light. Can be different to the Base Emission Color.
- Fresnel Power Float - The size of the Fresnel/rim. Higher values mean the rim is smaller, but this should be a value above 0.
Vertex Glitches
- Use Vertex Glitches? Boolean - When on, vertex glitches will be displayed, and when off, vertex glitches are turned off.
- Glitch Sensitivity Float - How easy it is for a given vertex to fall under the random threshold and start glitching. Higher values mean a lower chance to glitch. This is a value between 0 and 1 that I recommend keeping very high (above 0.99) unless you want a lot of glitches.
- Glitch Strength Float - How far glitches vertices extend from their original position along their vertex normal.
- Glitch Offset Float - A time offset - you can use two materials with identical settings except a different offset, and they won't glitch at the same time.
- Glitch Frequency Float - How often glitches occur.
Segment Glitches
- Use Slice Glitches? Boolean - When on, slice glitches will be displayed, and when off, slice glitches are turned off.
- Slice Width Float - The width, in world space, along the y-axis that the glitch takes up.
- Slice Speed Float - How quickly the glitch effect scrolls down the object.
- Slice Frequency Float - How often glitches occur.
- Slice Jitter Float - A slight random offset which makes it appear as if the glitch jitters. Probably don't set it too high or the shader may flash too rapidly (capped to 0.2 by default).
- Slice Duration Float - How long a slice glitch event occurs for.
- Slice Direction Vector 3 - The direction in which all vertices in the glitch are pulled in world space.
Dot Matrix Pattern
- Dot Size Float - The size, in pixels, of each dot on-screen. All dots are perfectly square.
- Dot Space Float - The size, in pixels, of the space between dots. The spacing is the same on each axis.
- Rotation Radians Float - The amount of rotation of the dot pattern in screen space, in radians.
