MotionScapes: Procedural Animated Backgrounds

Animated Backgrounds is a collection of procedural animated shader backgrounds designed for menus, loading screens, UI panels, 2D scenes, arenas, and fullscreen presentation views.

The package includes 15 distinct shader families and 63 ready-to-use material presets. Each preset is built from procedural shader logic, so the backgrounds animate without requiring large texture sequences or video files.

Use the included editor browser to preview presets, filter by family, apply materials to selected objects, create fullscreen camera backgrounds, create UI backgrounds, randomize seeds, and generate curated material variations.

Animated Backgrounds supports both Universal Render Pipeline and the Built-in Render Pipeline. The same shader assets include URP and Built-in subshaders, making the package practical for modern URP projects while still supporting Built-in projects.

The package also includes demo scene generators. Create a menu background demo to see a practical game menu use case, or generate the background gallery demo to cycle through all included presets with UI controls.
