Hello There! I'm starting to study shaders and there is an effect that grabbed my attention: http://i.imgur.com/w9ygNoP.gif Is there a way to replicate this effect in 2D or 3D objects? And do you guys have some materials and tutorials wich are good for begginers? Thanks!

You'll need to learn how to write your own shader. There are tons of resources available for shaders: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Shaders.html

I think that's kinda the same effect as a "water flow shader". if you google that you should find some answers. but yeah, other than that it's pretty much writing your own shader

Yes - the words you need to search for are "flow map".

Like this, for example: https://somecodingrecipes.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/flow-map-shader-for-unity-sprites/
