KinoGlitch is a collection of glitch effects for Unity's post-processing stack. It provides various visual glitches and distortions that can be applied to the camera output in real-time, enhancing the visual aesthetics of games or interactive experiences with unique, glitchy effects.

Pros

• Easy integration with Unity's post-processing stack
• Variety of glitch effects available (e.g., analog noise, digital glitch, scan line jitter)
• Customizable parameters for fine-tuning effects
• Lightweight and performant implementation

Cons

• Requires Unity's post-processing stack to be set up
• Limited documentation and examples
• May not be suitable for all art styles or game genres
• Some effects may be too intense for extended use

Code Examples

1. Adding a glitch effect to a post-processing volume:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class GlitchEffectExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        var volume = GetComponent<PostProcessVolume>();
        var glitch = volume.profile.AddSettings<AnalogGlitch>();
        glitch.enabled.Override(true);
        glitch.scanLineJitter.Override(0.5f);
    }
}

2. Animating a glitch effect over time:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class AnimatedGlitchExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PostProcessVolume volume;
    private DigitalGlitch glitch;

    void Start()
    {
        glitch = volume.profile.GetSetting<DigitalGlitch>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float intensity = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, 1f);
        glitch.intensity.Override(intensity);
    }
}

3. Triggering a glitch effect based on an event:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class GlitchTriggerExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PostProcessVolume volume;
    private ChromaticAberration chromaticAberration;

    void Start()
    {
        chromaticAberration = volume.profile.GetSetting<ChromaticAberration>();
    }

    public void TriggerGlitch()
    {
        StartCoroutine(GlitchCoroutine());
    }

    private System.Collections.IEnumerator GlitchCoroutine()
    {
        chromaticAberration.enabled.Override(true);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        chromaticAberration.enabled.Override(false);
    }
}

Getting Started

1. Install the Unity post-processing stack from the Package Manager.
2. Clone or download the KinoGlitch repository from GitHub.
3. Import the KinoGlitch scripts into your Unity project.
4. Add a Post-Processing Volume component to your camera or a separate GameObject.
5. Create a new Post-Processing Profile and assign it to the volume.
6. Add the desired glitch effect (e.g., AnalogGlitch, DigitalGlitch) to the profile.
7. Adjust the effect parameters in the inspector to achieve the desired look.
8. Use the code examples above to control the glitch effects programmatically if needed.
