Liquid Particles
About Liquid Particles – Unity VFX & Shader Pack
Liquid Particles Overview
The Liquid Particles asset provides a streamlined, procedural, and sprite-driven solution for simulating fluids, splashes, streams, and viscous impacts inside Unity without relying on heavy offline 3D Navier-Stokes grid solvers. By balancing physical fidelity against strict frame-budget limitations, this package equips developers with optimized visual effect prefabs suited for stylized and semi-realistic game environments. Integration into existing projects involves deploying pre-configured Shuriken particle setups alongside custom surface and screen-space shaders that seamlessly interpret scene lighting and geometry intersections.
- Includes optimized Unity particle system prefabs configured for fluid dynamics, splashes, and continuous liquid streams.
- Features custom screen-space shaders that dynamically sample the _CameraOpaqueTexture to calculate real-time refractive offsets.
- Applies edge-blending through _CameraDepthTexture comparisons to prevent hard clipping artifacts where fluid meshes meet static scene colliders.
- Implements refractive depth fading to calculate fluid density and opacity based on distance to background geometry.
- Utilizes screen-space distortion with dynamic UV offset mapping for localized light bending through running fluid streams.
- Employs velocity-based alignment to automatically scale and rotate billboard quads along particle movement vectors for surface tension stretching.
- Combines additive specular highlights with advanced alpha blending for rich, multi-layered visual depth.
Packaged at a lightweight 1.41 MB file size under version 1.2, this asset maintains a compact footprint suitable for rapid prototyping and production deployment. The included visual effect components are built to perform reliably across multiple Unity render pipelines while maintaining strict adherence to real-time frame budget constraints.
