Sword Slash Shader Breakdown - Hey! This shader uses a technique similar to that of a “soulercoaster” (which are similar to ribbons/trails, commonly used in VFX involving magic spells). It involves panning a texture across a premade mesh, masking sections of it to be visible over time. In this case the mesh is a ring that will surround the player and we’ll be panning two textures - one trianglular shaped one which masks the shape of the slash, and a noise texture to add detail.
