Feel free to use them in your own projects however you like! You can download both the URP and HDRP versions of the shader (they’re virtually identical) from this resource page, or from the project’s GitHub repository. Click any of the images to view in full res. If you’re already confident you know your way around Shader Graph and you just want to see my implementation, here is what my graph looks like in version 2021.2.6f1. In the following sections we’ll be going through the shader creation process step-by-step. With a range of features and being entirely procedural, the shader will be highly customizable and look good at any scale. In this tutorial we’ll be using Unity’s Shader Graph to create a multipurpose world-space grid for both the Universal and High Definition Render Pipelines. If the grid also makes your blockout look a little prettier, then that’s even better! While blocking out a new scene, the grid provides a proper sense of both scale and distance, and helps delineate between surfaces. From here you can lock the guides, enable snapping, and change the line style.I don’t think I am exaggerating too much when I say that a versatile grid shader is at the core of a level designer’s toolkit. To lock and unlock the guides, open the Grid and Guides Docker. In that case, click and drag to move the guide. If the guides are not locked, your cursor will change to a double arrow. Place your cursor above a guide on the canvas. Dragging from the left ruler creates a vertical guide, and dragging from the top ruler creates a horizontal guide. To create a guide, move your cursor over a ruler and drag in the direction of the canvas. To create a guide, you need both the rulers and the guides to be visible. You can use them to place and align layers accurately on the canvas. Guides are horizontal and vertical reference lines. With a subdivision of 2, the main grid lines are 128 px away from one another, and the intermediate lines have a different look. Div StyleĬontrols the look of the grid’s “subdivision” lines. Main StyleĬontrols the look of the grid’s main lines. Offsets the grid’s starting position from the top-left corner of the document, in pixels.

Cell spacingĭetermines how much both sets of lines are spaced. Set both angles to 30° for true isometric. A subdivision of 2 will make cells appear twice as big, and the inner lines will become subdivisions. Groups cells together as larger squares and changes the look of the lines it contains. Sets the width and height of the grid in pixels. This can also be achieved with the Shift + S shortcut. There is a single grid per canvas, and it is saved within the document. Grids in Krita can currently only be orthogonal and diagonal. It also features a checkbox to quickly toggle snapping on or off. This docker controls the look and the visibility of both the Grid and the Guides decorations.
