Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

🎮 Check out the live web demo here.


🎁 This package is included in the Neko Legends - All 3D & VFX Bundle


📦 The demo scenes require the free Shared Assets Demo dependency for its tile textures and scripts.


🎶 Music from demo is included in this asset.


Core Features:

  • Refraction & Chromatic Dispersion – Simulate light bending through crystal with adjustable refraction and RGB offset dispersion.
  • Dynamic Glow & Rim Lighting – Enhance realism with glow intensity, animated glow speed, and customizable rim lighting.
  • Specular Highlights & Shininess Control – Fine-tune surface reflections and highlights for a polished look.
  • Subsurface Scattering (SSS) – Adds depth and softness to materials like jade, opal, and translucent gems.

🔥 Unique Effects:

  • Cloudiness & Vertical Cloud Gradient – Adjust opacity from top to bottom for a more natural crystal effect.
  • Procedural Cracks – Customize crack textures, strength, and even animate crack movement over time.
  • Customizable Rendering Options – Choose between single-sided or double-sided rendering with adjustable culling modes.
  • Animated Crystal Growth – Offset, scale, and direction properties let you create dynamic growing crystal effects.

🎮 Optimized for Unity URP:

  • Designed for Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline (URP)
  • Supports WebGL & Mobile-Friendly Performance
  • Works with PBR lighting and shadow effects

Plus, it comes with 10+ unique gems and crystal models ready to drop into your project—each designed to showcase the shader’s full potential.


If you need crystals that truly stand out, with depth, glow, and light-bending magic—this shader has you covered.
