The Shape module defines the surface from which particles are emitted and can drastically change the appearance of your particle effect. All the shapes have properties that define their dimensions, except for Mesh, which will follow the details of the mesh you select. In this tutorial, we’ll explore the options in the Shape module.

One component of HDRP is the Decal Projector. This casts an image onto objects in a Scene. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the decal projector to project an image onto objects in a Scene.

With Unity’s Visual Effect Graph, you can integrate Shaders from Shader Graph into your effects. Although currently an experimental feature, it provides new opportunities for enhancing the look and feel of your effects without doing any Shader coding. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create Shaders in Shader Graph that are compatible with the Visual Effect Graph, explore how properties can be integrated into your effects, and use these properties to drive your Shader effects. To demonstrate this, this tutorial uses a fireworks example effect.

Ambient Occlusion is a post-processing effect that approximates crevice shadows in real time, darkening creases, holes, intersections, and surfaces that are close to each other. This gives a more realistic appearance to parts of objects where ambient light is blocked out or occluded. In this tutorial you'll learn how to add Ambient Occlusion to your Post Processing Stack and configure it for your scene.

In this tutorial, you will learn the fundamentals of creating particle-driven effects in VFX Graph and later move on to creating effects such as the snowstorm below.

Unity’s Tilemap system makes it easy to create and iterate level design cycles within Unity. It allows artists and designers to rapidly prototype when building 2D game worlds. In this tutorial, you'll create a Tilemap and explore the Tilemap system including Tilemap settings, and you'll use the Tile Palette to edit your Tilemap.

When working with Unity’s Particle System, you are able to produce a wide range of visual special effects. You are able to create and configure visually dynamic and compelling effects such as fire, fog, and explosions, or smoke, sparks, and more. The Particle System effect involves particles, or sprites, to exhibit emissive properties as they appear to spray or drift from a source. Their behaviors are configured to spawn (appear), and repeat (or cycle) throughout a set interval. Additionally, they can be configured to dynamically change throughout the designated period of their lifetime. Learning how to use the Particle System will open up unique possibilities, as well as improve the quality of visual effects within your Scene.

In this project, you will learn how to make fire, smoke, snow, and rain using Unity’s Particle System.

Vignette is a useful tool to help focus the viewer’s attention on the center of the screen or to add a soft fade to the edges. The term comes from photography, where vignetting refers to darkening or desaturation towards the edges of an image.

Color Grading is a term borrowed from the film industry, meaning to use color to create or enhance moods in video. The Color Grading Effects is a highly versatile tool that can affect the final look and feel of your visuals in subtle or extreme ways. Here, we’ll explore a few of the effects.
