- Description:
- Show Lasers is a versatile script+shader for creating a wide range of laser effects, including beams, fans, sheets, tunnels, and liquid sky effects. It supports all Unity pipelines and works in VR, including Single Pass Stereo and Multiview mode.
You can use Show Lasers to create your own laser shows, or use the effect to create other visual effects such as laser scanner visuals, laser grids or fences, skylights, or ordinary laser beams.
The laser beams can be configured in three basic forms: rectangular, circular (fan-like), and conic. The appearance and animation of the smoke can be customized through the script.
To use Show Lasers, simply add the script to an empty game object and configure the visuals in the script. The shader will automatically update the visuals, even in the scene view. You can configure a wide array of settings, including width, length, radius, main color, border color(s), transparency, type of smoke, distortion, and speed of smoke.
For laser show animation, you can use Unity's built-in Mecanim animation system and arrange your shows using the timeline, or control the Show Lasers script using your own code. The demo laser show is included and can be inspected and reused.
Show Lasers works with VR, including Single Pass Stereo and Multiview mode, and allows you to watch your own shows in VR. It also works on both PC and mobile (Android/iOS) devices, including Meta Quest devices. It supports both Forward and Deferred mode as well as Linear and Gamma modes.
Performance-wise, the demo laser show takes about 0.2ms/frame on minimum VR hardware, and a solid 90fps is reached in VR, as well as 60fps on old mobile hardware and all Meta Quests in VR mode.
Show Lasers does not require a Bloom post processing effect, but works great with one. A simple Bloom effect is included, but you can also use any other Bloom effect, including the one from Unity's post processing stack.
