About this asset

Perfect for planet textures: wrap a regular texture onto a sphere in seconds—no UVs, no prep.

Drop-in Triplanar (URP) samples one texture from three orthogonal projections (XY/YZ/XZ) and blends by surface normal. Make a material, assign a texture, tweak three tiling values and blend sharpness—done.

Why it’s easy

  • No UV unwrapping; works on any mesh.
  • Clear controls: XY (Z proj), YZ (X proj), XZ (Y proj) + Blend Sharpness.
  • Clean inspector (Texture Tiling/Offset hidden; optional minimal custom inspector included).
  • Mobile-friendly when using mipmaps.

Included

  • Shader: Assets/TriplanarShader/Shader/TriplanarPlanetShader.shader
  • Example materials: Assets/TriplanarShader/Example/Materials
  • Example prefabs (ready spheres): Assets/TriplanarShader/Example/Prefabs
  • PDF quick guide

Quick start

  1. Create a Material → CustomRenderTexture/TriplanarPlanetShader.
  2. Assign Base Texture.
  3. Set per-axis Tiling (XY/YZ/XZ) and Blend Sharpness.
  4. Apply to a mesh (e.g., the example spheres) or use in a CRT workflow.

Notes

  • Mapping is object-space; avoid non-uniform scaling if you want an unskewed look.
  • The pass is unlit (no lighting/shadows).

Technical details

  • Pipeline: Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Uses URP/Core.hlsl.
  • Unity: Tested on 2021.3 LTS and 2022.3 LTS (URP).
  • Parameters:Base Texture (single texture for all three projections)
    Tiling for Z Projection (XY)
    Tiling for X Projection (YZ)
    Tiling for Y Projection (XZ)
    Blend Sharpness (controls how hard the axis blend is)
  • Inspector: Texture Tiling/Offset is hidden for clarity; optional custom inspector removes extra clutter (Render Queue / Double-Sided GI).
  • Performance: 3 texture lookups per pixel (one per axis) + ALU blend; suitable for mobile with mipmaps and sensible tiling.
  • Use cases: planets, rocks, terrain chunks, anything where seams are ugly or UVs are messy.
  • Contents: shader, example materials/prefabs, PDF guide.
  • Dependencies: none beyond URP (no HDRP/BiRP support).
