Question by Ben-BearFish · Jul 22, 2015 at 10:04 PM · unity 5uishaderglowemission

Emission Glow with Unity UI

I was trying to do emission glow with Unity's uGUI buttons, panels, and sprites and was wondering if it's possible to apply the same emission effect to them as the Unity 5 Standard Shader?

$$anonymous$$aybe try this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/932093/make-2d-sprites-glow.html

Or this plugin: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/25933

Besides that, I don't really have a solution yet.

Hi

The idea of using pre-made sprite with its glowing condition is possible, however, I personally don't like it, as light itself give you much more flexibility and reality. It feels different then sprite. What is more I can change entire theme color scheme in settings dynamically, but sprites have to be pre-made. And I can implement light pulsation with glowing by changing brightness or changing color itself...

So in my case I would prefer to use some sort of new shader which would allow me to light up any (like glass) icon with emulated LED light
