Hey! Here’s a nice-looking procedural shield you can drop into your game. It reacts to every hit and have an auto rebuild—and it’s easy to tweak to match your project.Advanced Hex Shield VFX is a procedural reactive shield system for Unity.Generate a complete geodesic shield automatically, with responsive impact effects, localized damage, animated energy, physical fragment movement, and optimized collision support.No custom sphere mesh, fracture setup, or hand-authored impact animation is required.Key FeaturesFully procedural shield generationReactive localized impactsDynamic damage and energy effectsPhysical fragment displacement and recoveryOptimized collision handlingCustomizable visual and gameplay settingsIdeal for sci-fi characters, vehicles, structures, bosses, and environmental effects.Key features:- Procedural geodesic glass shield- Adjustable subdivisions, radius, thickness, and cell spacing- Four thick triangular fragments per hexagon; cuts hidden until impact- Localized explosion falloff and fast magnetic reconstruction- Irregular whole-cell red damage ripple with smooth recovery- Sparse asynchronous ambient packets with one packet per active cell- Impact packets on damaged and visibly red vibration cells- Fragment-follow energy and optional stretch tethers- Accurate chunked mesh collision with real gaps and impact holes- Simple sphere and no-collider fallbacks- Procedural ground-contact halo and whole-cell contact glow- Up to eight simultaneous shader impacts- Pooled single-direction auto shooter with adjustable cone spread- Swept projectile collision to reduce tunnelling- Ready-to-use shield and projectile prefabs- Demo scene, one-click demo builder, validation command, and documentationIncluded content:- 2 prefabs- 1 demo scene- 6 materials- 4 custom URP shaders- 6 runtime scripts and 2 editor scripts- Runtime and editor assembly definitions- PDF and Markdown documentation- No imported models, textures, fonts, or audioRequirements and limitations:- Unity 6000.4.0f1- Universal Render Pipeline 17.4.0- URP Opaque Texture must be enabled for glass refraction- URP only; Built-in Render Pipeline and HDRP versions are not included- Advanced collision uses non-convex, non-trigger MeshColliders- Mobile, console, and XR support is not claimed in version 1.0.0; profile thetarget platform and reduce subdivisions as neededNo third-party content or dependent third-party licenses are included.
