A collection of Unity 5 rendering effect samples including temporal screen-space reflections, screen-space shadows, booleans, water surfaces, metaballs, and procedural raymarched modeling. It ships as a Unity package of shaders and C# scripts primarily targeting deferred rendering with HDR cameras.

Use cases

• add screen-space reflections to a Unity game
• render screen-space shadows from point or line lights
• create metaball effects on the GPU
• simulate water surfaces with caustics
• apply mosaic regions to specific objects
• add rim lighting to characters
• do procedural modeling with distance functions in Unity

When to choose

• you use Unity 5 with a deferred rendering path and want ready-made screen-space effect implementations
• you want reference code for learning how SSR, SSAO, or G-buffer raymarching effects work

When to avoid

• you use a modern Unity version with SRP/URP/HDRP where these legacy shaders may not work
• you need production-quality, maintained, or licensed code (no explicit software license, CC-BY for docs only)
• you need effects that handle dynamic scenes robustly, since several samples have known artifacts
