Modular Bricks – LEGO Shader for Unity

Modular Bricks shader pack by Matei Giurgiu is a collection of geometry shaders, designed to create extra geometry on meshes in order to give them a modular interlocking aspect.

• Amazing results with voxel art.
• 60 seconds integration with MagicaVoxel Qubicle To Unity

Recently I have discovered a great tool for creating 3D models, it is called Magica Voxel. Basically, you build models using 3D blocks, which in geeky terms are voxels (volumetric pixels). Apart from a lot of tools for editing your voxels creations, Magica Voxel also offers a really powerful rendering engine which has various rendering effects such as drawing each voxel as a sphere or as a cylinder and doing a marching cubes effect on the voxel mesh. In my opinion, the most interesting effect is the one which draws each voxel as a Lego block.

The entire drawing process is handled by the GPU in the shader code, no compute shaders, no CPU overload. Just select the desired shader and the model will change its appearance. The radius or height of the pipe/cube can be customised in the shader properties. Works on mobile devices with OpenGL ES 3.1 + AEP (tested on Samsung Galaxy S7).
