****Known Frustration****
High amount of wait time due to repaint/loading between certain options.
Unity has a Shader Variant Collection system designed to reduce repaint/loading times. The next update will include a precompiled shader variant named "TieDyeVariants" - this will need to replace any variant you create.
In the meantime, if you wish to implement your own shader variant asset until the update is ready for release you can follow these steps:
In your Project window:
Right-click → Create → Shader Variant Collection
Name it MyTieDyeVariants
Open it and click Add Shader — select TieDye shader
Click Save — Unity will populate it with all current variants
*Tip* (you can cycle through each of the axis modes and use toggle flow/noise to precompile more shader variants - the more you precompile, the faster the load times)
Then to make Unity load it at startup:
Go to Edit → Project Settings → Graphics
Find Preloaded Shaders > Expand it
Click + and add your MyTieDyeVariants collection
Then, on the projects next launch, Unity will have a precompiled asset that loads at startup, eliminating most on-demand compilation hitches.
My apologies for this oversight! I am working on setting up the next update as fast as I can which does address this problem.
This update will also arrive with a new feature: Patterns!
Spiral
Diagonal
Wave
Diamond
Concentric
I want to thank you for your support and patience! I encourage any feedback you have so I can improve!
Create a wide array of materials and animate them if desired, perfect for eye catching assets - the only limitation is your imagination!
The combination of noise and flow settings allows for optimal creation experiences - easy to adjust sliders and toggles give the user premium control!
