Animated Direction Marker/Arrow Shader Graph (URP)

Animated Direction Marker Shader Graph (URP)

Create professional-looking animated direction markers with a lightweight Shader Graph solution designed for the Universal Render Pipeline (URP).

This package is ideal for racing games, driving simulators, endless runners, parking systems, factories, airports, sci-fi environments, navigation paths, and any project that requires animated directional indicators.

The shader uses UV scrolling to create a smooth flowing arrow animation without requiring complex scripts, making it simple to integrate into existing projects.

Features

• Animated scrolling arrow effect
• Built entirely with Shader Graph
• Optimized for Universal Render Pipeline (URP)
• Easy to customize
• Lightweight and mobile-friendly
• Includes demo scene
• Ready-to-use prefabs
• Easy material setup

Customization

The shader allows you to customize:

• Scroll Speed
• Scroll Direction
• Arrow Texture
• Color
• Emission Intensity (if enabled)

Custom Mesh Support

The shader can be used on your own meshes.

Important: Ensure your model has proper UV mapping created in Maya or Blender. The scrolling animation follows the mesh UV layout, so correctly aligned UVs are required for the arrows to move in the intended direction.
