📦 What's Inside? This pack includes two highly customizable surface shaders:

1. Basic Retro Monitor Perfect for clean UI, GameBoy-style aesthetics, or functioning consoles.

  • Dynamic Pixelation: Real-time resolution scaling (Mosaic effect).
  • Color Quantization: Limit color depth to simulate 8-bit or 1-bit hardware.
  • CRT Styling: Adjustable Scanlines and Vignette intensity.
  • Image Control: Built-in Saturation and Brightness sliders.

2. Advanced Glitch Monitor: Ideal for horror games, damaged screens, or sci-fi malfunction effects.

  • Signal Chaos: Animated Static Noise (Snow) and Rolling Interference Bars.
  • Hardware Failures: RGB Split (Chromatic Aberration) and Screen Shake.
  • Dithering: Smooths out color banding with retro noise patterns.

💡 Why Buy This Pack?

  • Zero Coding Required: Just drag the material onto any mesh.
  • Fully Customizable: Every effect (scanlines, glitch speed, pixel size) has its own slider.
  • Performance Friendly: Optimized surface shaders that work on mobile and desktop.
  • Light Reactive: Unlike screen-space effects, these shaders react to scene lighting and cast shadows.
