Screen Effect Shaders
Our journey through the world of modern Unity shaders is almost over, and we’ve looked at quite a number of examples. In the past few chapters, we explored a gallery of 2D and 3D shaders, and we learned several handy tricks for boosting our visuals and creating easy-to-tweak effects on our sprites and meshes.

In this last chapter, we’ll...
