Making Glitter in Shader Graph and URP
Everyone loves glitter, but it gets everywhere. Luckily, we can just make a glitter shader instead. In this tutorial, learn how to use random noise colors (i.e. GIMP's Hurl filter) to make a glittery effect!
As a bonus, also learn how to flip the effect on its head to make a starry night shader!

I really love your videos. You are very easy to understand and you try to make us understand the information behind all of it. Sometimes I just copy and paste nodes from tutorials because they just tell you, but don't explain why they are putting the nodes together. You actually explained why and what it will do.

I do try and make things as clear as I can so I'm very glad you've learned a lot from my videos :D
Bless your kind soul! Your works are amazing - thank you for this and for your other tutorials as well! 🥰
This is how you make a clear and comprehensive tutorial ! :)
Great!!Thanks for the amazing tutorial!!!👏🎊
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, I used it in my game Hoverflow to make the sand glitter :)
came here from reddit. I'm surprised by the quality of the instructions and in detail information. subscribed for more content.

Nice effect! Thank You Friend!
This channel is a certified banger.
Thanks man!
I love your work! Would you ever make an updated version of this for HDRP? I've got the effect working in the material preview but there's no glitter when I apply it to a model in the scene
this dude is a legend
キラキラ出来ました! Hueでノーマライズに変更したら無事に動いてくれました! とても参考になりましたありがとう!
bro ur best damnnn
This (for me) does NOT work in Unity 2022 (not an LTS). There are a lot of problems from the hue not moving if it's not set to Normalized to the Fresnel not begin added in the end etc. :( guess I'm downgrading to be able to do this.
When you add nodes in a graph, it would be helpful to be zoomed in a little more so we can see the text on each node.
Thank you! Is it possible to set the background to transparent and only have the glitter on?
In case anyone has the issue that I and others had in HDRP where the effect was working in the preview but not the scene, I found a solution. It's a bit of a compromise, but it worked for me and got the effect I wanted with sand glittering as the camera moves by: 1. Simply adding the base colour (or gradient if you still want it) to the final result of everything that was supposed to go into the emissions, and then plugging the result into the base colour fragment at the end. It doesn't get the HDR effect of the sparkles, but it gets white specks behaving as they should. 2. Ensure that the target object you're applying it to is UV unwrapped If anyone knows how to bring back the HDR effect on the glitter let me know
How about Amp,lify shader variant ? I'm planning to have a skybox shader with Stars glitter , Moon texture(adjustable) , Clouds texture
There is a space in the lighting window under the environment tab (I think) where you can put a material in for the skybox so you wouldn't need a sphere to make the night sky.

Yes but if you put this material on a sphere then you can make it rotate with code or the shader itself so your stars will move or you can make the stars blink when the game by multiplying the glitter with a moving gradient noise but the skybox is only a static image (or 6 depending on the skybox material you choose). The possibilitys are ENDLESS!!!

@@ultmatepotato you can do everything you just said using the skybox besides moving it with code. In URP you can use any material as a skybox so if you wanted it to rotate you could just change the materials property with code or have the time node do it for you. Either way works, also when using it as a skybox you cant use the skybox materials since this is a custom shader so its not applying it by a static image or cubemap, its directly applying the custom material as the skybox
@JadenAllen

just drag the material onto your sky in the editor or in the lighting panel apply the custom material as the skybox
效果太棒了!
How might I make a shader that makes certain objects greyscale (any object could be subject to greyscale) without every object using a custom material which is painfully tedious

I have a question! I'm using Unity 2019.4.3 and I'm trying to accomplish this shader! however when I get to the step at 2:44 "add 2 Float properties" I don't seem to have the option in the dropdown. My list starts with Vector 1 and so on. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to be able to add these? (I do have a "Precision: Float" header up next to the Save assets/Show in Project header.) Any ideas?

Good question - Float and Vector 1 properties are the same thing! They just renamed Vector 1 to Float sometime after Unity 2019.4.

I only realized yesterday that view direction is now normalized in URP 11 and above

Ooohhh that's good to know. URP 11 is on Unity 2021.1 right? I've not actually used that version yet so I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably still habitually use a Normalize node anyway.

Just turned this into HLSL code and added it to my Kwazy Xhader 3.0 XD, GWITTERS~~~
This is so informative, but for some reason the glitter does not show up on my model, but it shows up on my preview inside Shader Graph. (I clicked Save Asset) The fresnel shows up though, and if I use a glitter offset less than 0, the entire model shows up as the glitter color. Inside Shader Graph, it's kind of of the opposite. If I use a glitter offset greater than 1, no glitter appears, which actually might make sense though.

I think you should be able to just right-click the shader in the Project View and click Export Package, right?
