Hexagon shield with travelling pulses
In your harnessGodot shaderMIT
Energy shield made of hexagonal cells: glowing cell borders, cells that light up as a pulse wave climbs the object, random flickering cells and a Fresnel rim, drawn additively.
What it takes and gives
- Shader type
- spatial
- Render modes
- unshaded, blend_add, cull_disabled, depth_draw_never, shadows_disabled
- Parameters
- edge_color (vec4 = 0.3, 0.8, 1, 1), fill_color (vec4 = 0.1, 0.35, 0.8, 1), hex_scale (float = 14), edge_width (float = 0.06), pulse_speed (float = 0.6), pulse_spacing (float = 1.2), flicker_rate (float = 3), flicker_share (float = 0.1) and 1 more
- Use it on
- A mesh with UVs; on a sphere the cells shrink toward the poles.
- Result
- A glowing hexagon-tiled bubble with bands of cells lighting up as pulses climb it.
- Renderers
- compatibility: compiled and rendered, forward plus: not verified, mobile: not verified
- Placement
- res://baltor/godot_shaders/hexagon_shield_pulse/
Limits. Cells follow the mesh UVs, so they distort where UVs are stretched (sphere poles, seams). Additive blending cannot darken.
