Anime cloud effects by morphing from one texture to another
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.

Description

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


Overview:

Many cloud solutions are either too resource-intensive, difficult to use, or fail to achieve the distinct anime-style look I envisioned. To solve this, I developed a lightweight 2D solution that utilizes 2D images of clouds that can seamlessly morphs between textures over time. This shader adds smooth transitions, subtle warping, and customizable color effects to bring stylized skies to life. I hope this shader helps you achieve the perfect anime-inspired atmosphere in your game! 🌥️✨


What is included in this package:

  • 🌥️15 High Resolution Stylized Cloud Images: This package includes a variety of clouds ranging from day time, sunset, and night time to get you started.
  • 🎶3 Original Music included: Anime Clouds - Day, Anime Clouds - Sunset, Anime Clouds - Night
  • 🖼️3 High Resolution background Images: Day, Sunset, Night
  • 1 URP Shader: Anime Clouds

-----------------------------------------------------


📦 Important Installation Notes:

  • Demo_Minimal scene will work without any dependencies and will showcase the cloud prefabs. Users will have to manually hide/unhide gameobjects.
  • Demo_AnimeClouds_Hologram_AddOn is included in this package and is what is used to showcase the video and web demo. However, it uses my Neko Legends Hologram Shader for the background effects so the backgrounds will be pink if you don't have it.

Neko Legends - Anime Clouds Shader Features

Whether you project is 2D, 2.5D, or 3D, This asset is designed for seamless cloud morphing, vibrant gradients, and soft illumination. Perfect for stylized worlds, fantasy landscapes, and Ghibli-inspired skies.


🌥️ Morphing & Cloud Animation

🔹 Dual Texture Morphing – Blend between two cloud textures for dynamic, ever-changing skies.


🔹 Smooth Noise-Based Transition – Uses procedural noise for a soft, organic dissolve effect rather than a basic crossfade.


🔹 Warped UV Distortion – Subtle cloud shifting ensures natural, flowing movement.


🔹 Ping-Pong Animation – The transition loops smoothly between clouds, ensuring a seamless animation cycle.



🎨 Stylized Color Control

🔹 Custom Gradient Overlay – Blend between two colors to tint your clouds dynamically.


🔹 Adjustable Gradient Angle – Rotate the gradient to match the sky’s lighting direction.


🔹 Gradient Intensity & Offset – Fine-tune the strength and position of the color blend for cinematic lighting effects.



✨ Blending & Atmospheric Effects

🔹 Alpha Clip Threshold – Adjust transparency for soft cloud edges or sharp, stylized cutouts.


🔹 Self-IlluminationEmission controls make clouds glow softly at night or during sunsets, adding to the dreamy aesthetic.


Although this shader was designed for morphing two clouds together, you can use it to morph any two textures, such as one sword to another.
