- The Pixelate effect quantizes the texture's UV coordinates, simulating the limited resolution of older video game consoles.
- Adjust the pixel size with the _Pixelate property for the desired blockiness.
- Property: _Pixelate (Float)
- Default Value: 32
- Effect: Defines how large or small the "pixels" in your texture appear.
- Color Quantization:
- The ColorCount feature reduces the number of colors used in the texture, giving it the blocky, limited-palette appearance of retro games.
- Lower values produce a more stylized, limited color look, while higher values offer smoother gradients.
- Property: _ColorCount (Float)
- Default Value: 8
- Effect: Controls the number of colors in the texture, helping to achieve that nostalgic retro aesthetic.
- Main Texture:
- The _MainTex property allows you to apply a texture to the object, which will be affected by both the pixelation and color quantization effects.
- Property: _MainTex (2D Texture)
- Effect: The primary texture applied to the shader, which is modified by the pixelate and color quantization effects.
