Rain Effects On Terrain - Terrain Shaders - Episode 18

Visit resource ↗Description
Rain Effects On Terrain - Terrain Shaders - Episode 18 is a Ben Cloward YouTube tutorial adding rain puddles, ripples, and droplets to a Unity terrain Shader Graph series.
It imports Shader Graph Production Ready weather samples, adapts Rain Floor into a Rain Terrain subgraph that packs a 4x4 material matrix, wires wetness and is-raining controls, and shapes puddle masks with terrain height. An Unreal rain playlist is pointed out for viewers on that engine.
It is for intermediate Unity Shader Graph users who already follow the terrain auto-material series and understand subgraphs.
The video is free on YouTube as episode 18 of the Terrain Shaders playlist.
It is useful for reusing official weather subgraphs on custom terrain graphs instead of rebuilding puddle logic from scratch.

Harry Alisavakis continues his parallax series with layered “cracked ice” style offsets inspired by Binary Impact’s Shader Graph demo, implemented here in handwritten Unity surface shaders. Reuses the tangent-space view vector vertex pass from part I, then loops parallax texture samples with iteration-controlled depth and fade, adding results into albedo (overlay blending noted as an alternative). DisableBatching protects object-space camera math on multiple instances.
