Dot Matrix Hologram

Dot Matrix

The Dot Matrix Hologram effect transforms the object into an array of evenly-spaced dots that appear in screen-space. Each dot glows brightly based on the emissive color.


Parameters

Basic PBR Properties

  • Base Emission Color Color - Controls the color of the object.
  • Base Emission Texture Texture 2D - Also controls the color of the object. This is multiplied by Base Emission Color.
  • Normal Texture Texture 2D - Used to change the normal vectors on the surface, which influences lighting interactions. May not be noticeable due to the usage of bright emissive light
  • Normal Strength Float - A value between 0 and 1 which controls how strongly the Normal Texture impacts the surface normals.
  • Alpha Clip Threshold Float - Any pixel with an output alpha value below this value is culled entirely. Useful for Dot Matrix holograms.
  • Metallic Float - A value of 0 means the lighting on the surface is like a non-metal (wood, paper, plastic). 1 means it is like metal.
  • Smoothness Float - A value of 0 means the object is completely rough. 1 means it is highly polished and smooth.
  • Ambient Occlusion Float - A value of 0 means no ambient light reaches the object. 1 means the full ambient light reaches the object.

Fresnel

  • Fresnel Color Color - Color of the Fresnel/rim light. Can be different to the Base Emission Color.
  • Fresnel Power Float - The size of the Fresnel/rim. Higher values mean the rim is smaller, but this should be a value above 0.

Dot Matrix Pattern

  • Dot Size Float - The size, in pixels, of each dot on-screen. All dots are perfectly square.
  • Dot Space Float - The size, in pixels, of the space between dots. The spacing is the same on each axis.
  • Rotation Radians Float - The amount of rotation of the dot pattern in screen space, in radians.
