Waves Shader (URP)

🎮 Check out the live web demo here

🎁 Bundle Deal: This package is included in the Neko Legends - 3D & VFX Starter Bundle.

I wanted to find the best way to showcase the Waves shader, and I realized it would be perfect for a space shooter game. It lets you skip building complex backgrounds and instead focus on the fun stuff—dodging bullets, fighting robots, and blasting aliens in a classic bullet-hell style.  

It includes basic scripts, as shown in the video demo, to help you get started. I stopped short of turning it into a full game kit—after all, this is a shader package! 

Some ideas to take it further: add impact particle effects, waves of enemies flying in, a boss battle, sound effects, and more. What else can you come up with? Part of the fun is imagining and building it your way!

📦 Dependencies

To experience this asset as intended as shown in the video and web demos, you’ll need the following assets from the Neko Legends collection:

✅ [Shared Assets URP (FREE)]

• Contains core demo GUI, reusable scripts, and shared 3D models and textures across all Neko Legends assets.

✅ [Anime Cel Shader]

• Which powers the core look of the entire scene, comes with Metals and Glass addons.
• 🔥 Note: The **Waves shader itself does not require these dependencies — it is fully standalone. However, the included demo materials are styled to match those pipelines, which will appear pink on scene launch if you do not have my Anime Cel Shader.
