VNTG is a collection of PSX-inspired and CRT post-processing shaders built for Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline. These shaders were developed across multiple game jams and I hope to continue expanding on these in the future. I hope other developers can find it useful in their own projects.
Download the proper .unitypackage file from HERE and drop it into the Assets folder of your project. For rendering features, you can use the included VNTG renderer or add the PSX and CRT rendering features to your own. All settings can be found in the Global Volume.

Dithering with 9 preset patterns
with Additive and Multiplicative dither modes. (only multiplicative is shown below)
Options for pixel perfect dither or a custom scale
Apply Custom Color Palettes
Import color palettes from a variety of file formats, including .ase (Photoshop ASE), .gpl (GIMP Palette), .hex, .txt (Paint.NET), and .pal (JASC/RPAL).
You can also create a palette from a texture or manually define a custom palette directly within the editor.
Includes multiple options for changing color distance metrics when matching colors, preserving lighting and more!
The palette used in the image below can be found HERE.
