Breakdown: Creating a Crystal Shader in Unity

A couple of weeks ago, Indie Game Developer Sørb a.k.a. Soerb Games had demonstrated a cool-looking cartoony crystal shader made in Unity. The project was made using HLSL, but, according to the artist, it is also possible to achieve a similar effect using Shader Graph.

Sørb's followers and the Unity community liked the shader so much, the developer promised to share a small breakdown. And he delivered on this promise.

You can check out the breakdown in the tweet below.
