Audiowave Eye Shader (VRChat)

An eye shader designed to be used in VRChat! As it is a shader, it is PC only!

Super customizable, with over 170 settings to tweak. Adjust the size, shape, color, reactivity, parallax, and audiolink band of almost every element without needing any textures!

There are tons of combinations that can be made! Here are a few examples:

Have eye textures you like though? Use them in place of, or combined with the background!

The shader was created with Audiolink in mind, with lots of cool reactions that are super customizable. But also functions without it.

Don't want different eyes, but still want to use the shader? Use the built in billboard mode to show it off as an accessory! Just put the shader on a quad, enable the setting, and it does the rest (Best used with the transparent preset to have a circle!).

These are just some of the settings available, for a full list, see the documentation page here!

Setup:

Important!!:
Using this shader for eyes requires setting up flat eye meshes.

How to do this using the included "EyeInstaller" script entirely in unity for most avatars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlv38_vphJY

How to do this in blender if your avatar is not compatible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwHoop4ta-8

Dependencies:

If you are not already using a shader that uses ThryEditor (Poiyomi uses ThryEditor for example) you will need to manually install it from this github page.

ThryEditor: https://github.com/Thryrallo/ThryEditor

Simply click the green button that says "code", then "download zip", then extract the downloaded zip file. Once its extracted, drag the folder into your unity assets folder.

Thank you Mythic for beta testing my shaders and providing such valuable feedback! <3. You come up with the crazy edge case use cases that I could never think of.
