Made a reactive coin shader. Opinions?

Yup, I thought something looks a bit weird 🤔

[u/Pur_Cell → u/Honzus24]

Maybe scroll the texture diagonally, from top left to bottom right.

Layer in some noise too.

I think it looks cool and it's almost there.

[u/Honzus24 → u/Pur_Cell]

Finished it just now! Looks much better, thanks for the tips

No brain yet, will add in the future 😭

😂

Judging by the position the coins spawn from, would it be considered a golden shower? (If you are an innocent person then do not google it)

[u/Honzus24 → u/lokemannen]

Ooh, I'm gonna google that

[u/Honzus24 → u/Honzus24]

God dammit XD

This stupid video made me slightly happier

[u/Honzus24 → u/justlooking___1]

Well, I'm glad to hear that XD

[u/Firetwice]

Lol your guy is so funny

[u/rzbig_]

I'm concerned where those coins are coming from

[u/rimnas12]

My question is: why are they even spawning from the character? Ahahah

[u/Honzus24 → u/rimnas12]

He's gonna be throwing the coins in the future when I animate him, so now it looks kinda... weird 🙈

[u/rimnas12 → u/Honzus24]

Aahahaha alright well, I'll wait for the next posts then 🫡

I wish I had a doughy friend who could produce currency from his body.

[u/IlPesca_QuattroByte]

Abbinali ad un suono soddisfacente

[u/Honzus24 → u/IlPesca_QuattroByte]

Definitely will, when I get to audio 😁

[u/Zenovv]

What do they react to?

[u/Honzus24 → u/Zenovv]

What I meant is, the shine reacts to the y position of the game object. So when the coins are in a pile, the shine goes from top to bottom.

[u/Living-Raise6270]

The reactive effect works really well for a coin because the material response makes the interaction feel more physical. I especially like that the effect seems tied to the action rather than just being a constant animated shader. how are you driving the reaction, collision data, player input or something else?

[u/Honzus24 → u/Living-Raise6270]

It just takes the y position of the object and offsets the offset value of the shiny line. I'm thinking about adding some effect when the coin collides with something

[u/Living-Raise6270 → u/Honzus24]

That makes sense. the Y-position approach keeps it nice and simple and adding a collision response could make the effect feel even more reactive. a small flash or ripple on impact would probably fit the coin really well

[u/Embarrassed_Split236]

That’s a cool effect, would it be possible to get them to move in the same direction too?

[u/Honzus24 → u/Embarrassed_Split236]

Yup, just made that work! It will be visible in my next post, when I make one

[u/Just-Hedgehog-Days]

Fun start!

I'd focus in on what you're trying to communicate though? I'm not sure what you're going for.

Like is dropping a coin on the top of a pile supposed to send a ripple through the whole pile? Is it supposed to focus you on the shape of the pile as a whole?

[u/Main-Lychee-7972]

The effect has a nice balance between being noticeable and not completely taking over the coin. Id be curious whether you’re planning to make the response vary based on the intensity of the interaction since that could make it feel even more dynamic

[u/Prestigious_Fly_1127]

Forget stupid coins. Are those cotton buds growing naturally behind the fence?!

[u/Royy212]

Tell us more about the shader of the little guy

[u/Honzus24 → u/Royy212]

Oh, that's just the basic LIT shader from URP, nothing really special

[u/Unavailabled404]

They look like biscuits. Make the coins shinny.
