Shader Library Add-on - The Neon Shader (update 1.01)



The Shader Library add-on has a new addition. I would like to introduce the Neon Shader!. 

Download version 1.02 here

This Shader can be used for a cool Neon or other types of flickering lights. This was the result from the last Python Scripting Tutorial, where we looked at adding a keyframe and a Noise Modifier to a Shader.

We can control the Flickering by going to the Graph Editor. 


We can speed up or slow down the flickering effect by changing the "scale" value. If we increase the value, it will slow down the flickering. 


You can see in the preview video here, which shows two examples. 

The first is rendered with a Scale value of 1. The second Example has a Scale value of 6.

We can also play around with the Strength, Phase, Offset and Depth to suit our needs and I suggest playing around with different values to get more varied results. 


This Shader can be used for both Cycles and Eevee.
 
I hope you find this Shader helpful and as always thanks for reading!.
