About this asset

Create immersive, infinite space environments without the need for static textures. This shader generates a vibrant starfield and volumetric-like nebula using pure mathematics, ensuring crisp visuals at any resolution.

Key Features:

  • Dual-Layer Generation: Independent control over the Star layer and the Nebula (Warp) layer.
  • Math-Based Shapes: Uses superellipse formulas to transition star shapes seamlessly from flares to circles.
  • Rich Color Palettes: Features a Cosine Gradient system for generating complex, scientifically aesthetic color variations.
  • Dynamic Animation: Built-in scrolling and warping parameters to bring the background to life.
  • Versatile Styles: diverse looks ranging from realistic deep space to stylized sci-fi backgrounds.

From the publisher's Asset Store listing.

Technical details

  • Type: Procedural Fragment Shader (No textures required).
  • Algorithm: Uses Fractal Brownian Motion (FBM) for noise generation and density control.
  • Star Shaping: Implements Superellipse distance functions for variable star geometry.
  • Color System: Based on Cosine Gradient Palettes for procedural color mixing.
  • Shader Keywords: Uses [KeywordEnum] for star prong variants (STAR4, STAR6, STAR8), compiling into optimized variants.
