Surface shaders
Vertex snapping, affine warping, PBR, and stepped lighting.
Retro rendering for Unity
Retro graphics.
Modern control.
Build PSX-inspired worlds in Unity with vertex snapping, affine texture warping, and a complete set of material tools. Works with Built-in and URP.
One suite. A whole world.
Nature & terrain
Terrain and foliage in the same visual language as your materials.
Particles & decals
Fire, particles, distortion, and decals.
Procedural sky
Sky gradients, clouds, stars, and celestial controls.
01 / The toolkit
One look.
A complete world.
Shape the look per material. Carry it across your whole scene.
Shape the retro look
Vertex snapping, affine warping, stepped lighting, and color posterization. Tuned per material.
Keep your pipeline
One set of shader assets for Built-in and URP. Unity selects the matching shader automatically. HDRP is not included.
Cover the whole scene
Surface, foliage, terrain, particles, decals, and sky share one visual language.
Make changes together
Shared presets, material diagnostics, and batch editing keep your project consistent.
02 / In the editor
Atmosphere.
Down to the detail.
Shape your scene with effects and sky that belong together. Keep the materials behind it under control.
Particles & decals
Give every effect a place.
Bring fire, particles, distortion, and decals into the same visual language as your materials.
Procedural sky
Make the sky part of your world.
Set the hour and the mood with sky gradients, clouds, stars, and celestial controls.
The Material Manager
Make one change.
Carry it everywhere.
A dedicated workspace for keeping a growing collection of materials consistent.

Before you build
A few useful answers.
Does CrowPSX work with URP?
Yes. The same CrowPSX shader assets work in Built-in and URP. In URP, add the CrowPSX renderer features for outlines and depth-volume decals, and enable Opaque Texture for Grab Distortion.
Is this a full-screen PS1 filter?
CrowPSX creates its retro look through shaders, geometry, and materials. For full-screen pixelation, dithering, or CRT effects, combine it with a camera post-processing solution.
What Unity version do I need?
Requires Unity 2022.3 LTS or newer with Built-in or URP. Tested on Unity 2022.3, 6.0, 6.3, and 6.6. See the compatibility guide for renderer setup and version details.
Can I use it in VR?
Yes. CrowPSX supports stereo-stable vertex snapping with separate VR controls for snapping and affine warping. See the VR setup guide for supported rendering modes and pipeline requirements.
