Curved World

Documentation | PC Build | Forum | Support

Curved World is a complete collection of the shader-bending effects known as:

• Exaggerated horizon curve
• Horizon bending
• Spherical world
• Little planet
• Cylindrical roll-off
• Cylindrical tower
• Spiral bending
• Inception effect
• Twisted corridor
• and many others

Shader bending is a special and very effective vertex displacement technique for creating a bending illusion of a mesh and the entire scene without modifying actual and original meshes. The effect is visible only inside the camera and does not disturb game elements like physics, animation, AI, pathfinding and other mesh transformations.

Subway Surfers, Minion Rush, Animal Crossing and many others use those techniques for creating world bending effects.

This package comes with ready-to-use shaders for mobiles and high-end devices. If included shaders are not enough and need something unique or want to modify your own shaders, Curved World offers the easiest shader integration system for Shader Graph and Amplify Shader Editor using just one node.

⚠️ Note:

Do not confuse shader bending with mesh manipulator or converter tool. Curved World is a pure vertex displacement shader, and it does not convert a mesh into a real 3D cylinder, tube, sphere, spiral or any other geometric figures.
