I do spent a lot of time on graphics, so here is the thing: Yes, pixel-ish shadow is a shader material applied on stairs. \n\nThe tech used is called Dithering, and can be applied on anything, 2d or 3d, you can find many examples on the internet for any engine, very easy and classic approach. \n\nThe gradient effect on the pixels is also part of the shader, by calculating the distence to the player, it twicks some variables of that dithering, make the pixels density higher or wiseversa.\n\nI really like dithering, it is very simple and also quite effective, and has a lot potencial when gently twicked.\n\nAlso, other than stairs with dithering, rest part is just the same noise shader I found online, and a bit of color design of course, I dedicatedly chose different white and gray, to make everything looks organic altogether.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1138401,"author_name":"meskaline","author_uid":"meskaline","epoch":1744207471,"text":"The shaders are amazing, the audio also.
