PS1/PSX Model

Usage

  1. Add a new ShaderMaterial in the 3D model
  2. In the ShaderMaterial add a new Shader
  3. Copy the script below into the Shader-Editor.

Documentation

  • affine_mapping: Normalizes the vertices if true.
  • albedo: Texture that will be used for this model.
  • alpha scissor: Threshold when the alpha value will be not rendered.
  • jitter: Amount of jitter that will be used. Higher values result in more jitter.
  • resolution: The screen resolution that will be used to apply the jitter

Hint

This shader is written for Godot 4.

it’s already written in the description, but here’s another reminder: this shader is intended a primary material as a ShaderMaterial3D resource. place your Albedo as the Shader parameter instead of a StandardMaterial3D with the shader as a second pass.

if you’re having issues with your Albedo flickering white or black, double-check that.

Excellent work, thank you!

can you control the affine mapping because it freaks out a lot more than i want.
