Distortion Shockwaves VFX

A procedural distortion shader that tightly integrates with Unity’s particle system to generate per-particle animated distortion/ripple/shockwave effects.

(WebGL: shockwaves generated as distortion particles on cube impact.)

📦 Drop an included prefab into your scene for instant results, or dive in to customize/tweak and integrate to your heart's content. 🎨

The shader exposes several useful properties to fine-tune its visuals.

🌈 Smooth Blending: Unlike typical distortion shaders, here distortions are actually blended seamlessly with the scene's geometry near the edges.

🔧 Textureless: The effect is entirely procedurally generated and does not suffer from any texture read overhead, nor are you required to provide any.

🚀 Optimized: Designed with performance in mind, the distortion FX workflow runs efficiently even with complex setups and many CPU particles.

🎛️ Parameterized: Adjust everything from the intensity and speed of the shockwaves to the minute details of the per-particle distortion with user-defined animation curves.

🌐 Particle-Based: Direct the shader's behaviour with precision using particles. Achieve unique per-particle variation for dynamic visual effects.

⏱️ Real-Time: Tweak parameters in real-time within the Unity editor to see instant changes, enabling rapid iteration and prototyping.
