Implementation

• Modeling the 3D Mesh in Blender and UV Mapping overlapped faces.
• Creating Textures in Affinity Photo.
• Integrating the Spaceship Asset from the Assets Store into the Project.
• Implementing the same Shader with pure HLSL and also with Shader Graph.
• Displacing vertices along the normal in Object Space.
• Animating the displacement with the sinusoidal function of _Time.
• Using Perlin Noise to pseudo randomize the different displacements of the faces.
• Implementing the Fresnel effect by doing the dot product between the view direction and the normal, in world space.
• Using the VFACE Semantics to determine if the face is facing the camera.
• Defining a color for the inner faces of the shield, and a color for the Fresnel effect.
• Parametrizing the two colors of the shield, and also the Fresnel power.
• Parametrizing the displacement amount, and the animation speed for the displacement.
• Implementing the same Shader using Shader Graph, with support for VFX Graph.
• Custom Function Node to implement the custom Perlin Noise.
• Simple Animations for the scene objects.
• VFX Graph object to animate the fade in and fade out of the shield.
