Sci-fi Engine Thrust Shader
Sci fi engine thruster VFX shader for Godot 4. Jet engine exhaust flame/propulsion. Breakdown We will start with the simple effect, and will add details to it with time. Start with Simple Gradient The first step is to make a gradient spanning across the mesh. One end of the mesh should be transparent (its ALPHA…

Fast Travel Shader (Speed Lines)
3D Fast travel shader (speed lines shader) for Godot 4. Sci-fi effects. Breakdown Start with gradient Similar to how I did in jet engine exhaust shader tutorial; initially, we just make our mesh transparency gradient, thus one end becomes transparent (alpha=0) and other end alpha=1. For this, we calculate vertex height in the vertex shader…
