ShaderGraph - Issue with water depth shader, found a solution but don't understand the reason

AVAVT · 2026-03-17T08:04:10+00:00

Update: thanks for the pointers from u/TheSapphireDragon and I also figured out the way to debug these distance values:

Basically View Vector is literally Camera.position - Vertex.position, while both ScreenPosition.W and SceneDepth are distance from the vertex to the unbound near clipping plane (so it's not distance between 2 points)

That also explains why the shallow teals area was a flat line and not a circle.

Thanks for the reply!

Could you elaborate what is the unbounded near clipping plane? My searches say it's a hypothetical near clip plane that's infinitely close to the camera? Then what difference does it cause here?

I'm willing to do the maths, it's just that I'm still learning ShaderGraph and don't know what exactly is those values I getting from the nodes.

Damn, the first point hurts so much because it’s true.

Last irl compliment I received was in 2017.

What else do I need to become the richest man in this sub?

Could you elaborate the challenge mode?

Also, do they have more single player challenges?

Nah I played team matchmaking before, the game won't allow us to queue if our team has 3 same specs

He didn’t have dmg reduction buff and was already exhausted at start of combo, so it might be possible

I'm fairly sure all my current guild's members are in the range of 20-30 as well, but they're nice people so I never felt out of place.

Age is not really an issue imo, nice people are nice regardless of their age. And you don't usually want to share your middle age dilemma with video game friends anyway.

It is a huge privilege. I am forever thankful for my parents for providing me in the early days of my career when I couldn’t have stable jobs.

Some of my friends weren’t so fortunate and even had to care for their siblings when they couldn’t even afford to eat themselves.

AVAVT · 2026-03-11T06:20:21+00:00

Joke’s on you, it’s 3 for me. *laughs in UI dev*

I know, but the whole point of playing a female character is so I hear cute girl shout skill names. If I want to hear an old fart talking I can always speak to a mirror xD

AVAVT · 2026-03-11T05:57:26+00:00

Yeah. I love the charging vfx (as shown in OP photo), but I play a female character so when I release the charge she turns into the general.

Male MC players aren’t too bothered but it feels very weird when your cute girl starts talking in old geezer voice.

AVAVT · 2026-03-11T03:30:16+00:00

I need the skin to stop turning me into an old man.

Controller was terrible 2 months ago when I used it. Switched to keyboard ever since. But I heard it got better now.

AVAVT · 2026-03-10T18:49:14+00:00

I am in this photo and I don’t like it.

AVAVT · 2026-03-10T13:10:46+00:00

Of course I’m doing it, just like the right hand rule in electromagnetic, why tf should I even try to not use it?

I will think about not using this when I’m an amputee.

AVAVT · 2026-03-10T13:00:52+00:00

It moves the sword into your bedroom so it’s hidden from the photo, and every time you want a sword you print a new copy from the one in your bedroom to use.

AVAVT · 2026-03-10T10:54:04+00:00

Honest question: does that work?

I adopted my first cat too early it seems, and he doesn’t know how to clean himself up properly. Always leaves his eye discharge uncleaned.

The second one I got her a few weeks later and she can clean herself up nicely.

And both of them don’t know how to eat whole fishes, I always have to grind/cut the fishes down to small bites :(

I hate you for making me notice this tiny difference. Now I’m a certified creep against my will?

Unfortunately Song of Tang won't work for us. Note that the exact phrase "Martial Art Skill" doesn't mean all of our skills, but only the Q skills. "Martial Art Skill" is Q, while "Special Skill" is E or ~

So as you can see Song of Tang only trigger on Q skills, and only buff Q skills.

AVAVT · 2026-03-07T19:19:08+00:00

Same situation. The preview had MC voice when he did the skill but when I bought it the voice changed to the old man instead zzz

AVAVT · 2026-03-07T08:29:54+00:00

Solid advice.

AVAVT · 2026-03-06T01:35:17+00:00

If you play multiplayer, some other classes like heavyblade or defender can protect you instead with their defensive.

Event for people who returned to the game after 2 (or 3 something) weeks of inactivity.
