Retro 3D Shader Pack for Unity
A collection of shaders used to replicate the distinct visual style of early 3D games within the modern Unity engine. Designed to be usable by non-programmers while also featuring in-depth code commenting for easy modification.

Features (v1.1)
- Built for Unity 2019.1.9
- Four distinct lighting models; unlit, vertex lit, flat lit, and standard Unity lighting
- Support for common material properties such as transparency, color tint, specularity, normal mapping, emission, and more
- Retro material properties which can be easily enabled and disabled including:
- Vertex jitter/snapping (world/screen space toggle)
- Affine texture mapping with intensity slider
- Vertex draw distance
- Lit and unlit sprite shaders
- Retro post-processing shader which uses the in-built Unity Post-Processing Stack (v2) for simple integration with other post process effects - includes:
- Pixelation (can be toggled between pixel scaling vs. fixed vertical resolution)
- Color depth/posterization
- Dithering (scalable, comes with a set of supplied dither patterns as well as the option to use your own)
- Example scene showcasing the practical use of each shader with existing materials

Awesome work! Ended up using it in my project:https://jekdersnek.itch.io/captain-commanders-conquest
I used your
GREAT !!! Shader Pack
for my short 3D Adventure game called Pura Hana. You can play it here:https://epanne.itch.io/purahana
It is my first bigger 3D Projekt and it would not be possible for me to make it without you
I really appreciate you making this available! - BIG BIG THANGS

Hey, amazing stuff!
Is there any chance you can make an iteration of the transparent versions which are cutout alpha rather than blend alpha? I've been fiddling around with this and I can't for the life of me figure out how to alter the code in a way that will allow for cutout transparency.
Thanks so much!
When I import this I have 20 asset errors it still works but I cant go into play mode. Is there anyway I can fix this?Outstanding work! Using this in my Jam submissionhttps://zellator.itch.io/sortium
Ok, so I looked into it and I unfortunately don't think I can do much about it - my vertex shader uses the 'LightMode = Vertex' tag which means that the lighting calculations only take into account the nearest 4 point lights and a directional light. All spotlights are treated as point lights which is why the light radius in the upper image is way bigger.
I can't use the lighting of the legacy vertex shader because its a fixed function shader which has basically no flexibility and means that I can't properly implement the additional retro properties.
Sorry I can't help with this problem - if you're trying to simulate a flashlight, maybe you could approximate the old Source Engine method by attaching a point light to the camera, raycasting from the center of the screen to find the distance to whatever surface the player is looking at, then adjusting the distance of the point light so it's just in front of that surface?
