Fringe Logic VHS Shader

VHS FINAL MASTER – Analog Horror & Retro Distortion Suite (URP)


Bring authentic VHS, CRT, and analog horror distortion to your Unity project with the Fringe Logic VHS Final Master shader. This is a complete, modular, screen‑space effect designed for URP, featuring a full stack of retro artifacts, tape damage, lens distortion, glitch bands, scanlines, color bleeding, grain, jitter, and more.


Perfect for:

• Analog horror

• Retro aesthetics

• Found‑footage games

• VHS/CRT UI overlays

• Stylized glitch effects

The shader is fully modular — every effect can be toggled on/off individually. No scripting required.
