Basic Tessellation setup in URP

In this post I'm going over the most basic tessellated shader in URP.

The Shader code and HLSL file you need are linked at the bottom

Grass Geometry Shader with Interactivity (Part 1, the shader)

Hi all, 

Here is finally the interactive grass geometry shader. This part is the shader itself, it will work on meshes like planes, next part will be an editor script to paint the grass where you want it.

When you turn off shadowcasting on the mesh it looks pretty close to the grass in Genshin Impact :)

Stylized Glass Shader

A few people asked for the shader I use in the Fake Liquid effect, I thought it was a little too simple, so I spruced it up a little :) 

An improved version of the old ToonLit Specular shader, adjusted for glass specifically.

The difference is more settings for rims, adjusted the light direction spec...
