Been playing with Material Maker mostly just to generate tiling textures.
Not necessarily a realistic grass texture gets the idea across.

What has become my go-to approach to particles in Godot if I can use GPU is custom properties for gravity, drag and lifespan, so in code I make my own random ranges for those when I emit.
That’s in rgb channel so I could add a fourth property if I decide what it should be.

Made a version that displays the outline through other objects.

Made an outline selection material though it does rely on normals to display the outline which makes it messy anywhere the mesh has sharp edges.

Okay, did a dither test where it picks the closest and second closest CGA colour and dithers based on dot vector from one to the other.
If you choose these colours more deliberately you could blend two colours further apart for the effect but this is the version a computer can easily figure out.

I tweaked the fade rate and allowed myself to cheat a little by storing a second value that makes the blips fade more slowly.
Also randomized the shapes slightly so they aren’t perfectly circular.

Made a little scanner in Godot. Because I had done shaders like the fading light trails I figured I could do the fading phosphor like in a radar display.

This is called an emerald cut so I added a tint to the shader for it

Made a screen-space gradient shader in Godot.
I did this before in Unity but Godot has the NODE_POSITION_VIEW which makes it more straightforward.

After looking at more photos of diamonds I desaturated the samples where the view and normal aligned.
The most colourful parts of the photos showed up in the outer edges where the angle of incidence would be higher.

Right now selecting colours and dither textures is a matter of selecting indices. I don’t know if there’s a way to make that more intuitive.

More dither tests.
Using 16 CGA colours, any material can dither between 256 pairs of colours. It can also specify different dither textures to imply texture of material.

Some potential here with parallax offset sampling a voronoi texture.
Might want to layer with the cubemap variant I did before

Tweaking the hole shader so edges of the hole are shaded.
This reads better when there’s a wall of the same colour behind it.

Okay made a peephole in Godot.
It renders four cameras and displays that like a cubemap in the peephole shader to get the fisheye look.
At first I tried to get that down to three cameras but that doesn’t actually cover a wide enough angle.
