MASTER SHADER Update for all of you!

Added 2025-05-17 15:40:05 +0000 UTC

Hey guys, I think you might like this one!
I just updated the repo: "TUT-10-2D-Shaders-Master-Shader" with a BUNCH of new updates.

1 - before, I didn't realize it until getting deep into dev on Surgebound, but a lot of the colors, especially HDR colors didn't stack well together and resulted in unexpected end results. I've gone through each effect thoroughly and corrected every issue I found.

2 - NEW EFFECTS -
A - first, there's just simple tiling, offset, alpha and color controls at the top, as well as a nice little "alpha is black" option for those annoying particle/VFX textures that have black instead of transparency.
B - a "Texture scrolling" option - with a "sine scroll' option just for fun. This isn't useful for character sprites or anythng like that, but if you have a simple texture in the game you want to scroll, the master shader can handle that now.
C - The outline effect now has separate distortion controls as well, so you can make your characters go super saiyan.
D - Dissolve. This one is really nice, it has 3 options, "Distortion amount" which is your typical fade out effect based on noise. OR, a vertical or horizontal dissolve option for some cool sci-fi warp looking effect.
E - Texture Overlay - my example doesn't make the best use of it, but you can overlay a texture onto your main sprite (like fire, blood, whatever) and control just how much strength it has.

3 - Fixes - The negative effect properly handles bloom now.
The pixelation shader should work great on pixel art now.
Distortion works more evenly now and has much finer control parameters
Emission is applied AFTER the outline, so you can control the two separately

And finally, all the Properties have tooltips on them now, so if you want to change these with code, just highlight over the property you want to change to see the name you need to reference.

Hope you guys enjoy!!!
