episode 48: hex grid normal tiling shader graph basics

overview

hexagonal grids are commonly used in games and applications for various purposes, including tile-based games, maps, and more. using shader graph in unity, you can create a hexagonal grid that allows for seamless tiling effects.

prerequisites

unity installed (preferably version 2019.1 or later).
a project set up with the universal render pipeline (urp) or high definition render pipeline (hdrp).
basic understanding of shader graph and how to create materials in unity.

step 1: setting up shader graph

1. **create a new shader graph**:
right-click in the project window, select *create shader universal render pipeline lit shader graph* (or hdrp if you are using it).
name it `hexgridshadergraph`.

2. **open the shader graph**:
double-click the newly created shader to open the shader graph editor.

3. **add a main texture**:
add a *texture2d* property and name it `maintexture`.
add a *sample texture 2d* node and connect the `maintexture` to it.

step 2: create the hexagonal grid

1. **hexagonal coordinates**:
to create a hexagonal grid, you need to calculate the uv coordinates based on hexagonal tiling.
to represent hexagons, use the formula for hexagonal tiling.

2. **uv calculation**:
create a *uv* node and connect it to a *multiply* node. the multiply node will help in scaling the uv coordinates.
set the y component to `√3` (approximately 1.732) to account for the hexagonal grid's height.

3. **hexagon pattern**:
use a *vector2* node to create offsets for the hexagonal pattern.
you can create x offsets for the horizontal hexagons and y offsets for the vertical ones.

4. **combine uvs**:
combine the calculated u ...
