‘Spice Up’ is a collection of 18 fullscreen post-processing effects designed to add impact, distortion, feedback, and stylized camera treatment to first-person and VR games. Each effect can be used as a standalone package, but inside the bundle they share the same URP workflow, volume-driven runtime model, and editor conventions.

It consists of the following effects:

• 🩸 Damage, a health and hit feedback system with directional indicators.
• 🍺 Drunk, unstable vision with oscillation, blinking, and chromatic distortion.
• 🌈 Stoned, psychedelic color deformation with YIQ-based controls.
• 🧊 Frozen, layered frost, distortion, and cold-screen tinting.
• 💨 Speed Lines, anime-inspired radial velocity streaks.
• 👀 Double Vision, oscillating image separation and color offsets.
• 🌧️ Rain, animated droplets, trails, and layered wet-screen effects.
• 👻 Ghost Vision, creature-like tunnel vision with animated noise.
• 📺 Scanner, CCTV, monitor, and robotic-display artifacts.
• ☠️ Death Screen, a blood wipe for death or defeat states.
• 🌙 Purkinje, low-light adaptation inspired by human night perception.
• 💥 Broken Screen, procedural fractures and impact distortion.
• 💓 Pulse, expanding pulses driven by timed progress.
• 🌪️ Shake, screen shake with zoom, distortion, and aberration.
• 🟢 Night Vision, a rich night vision system with gradients and UI overlays.
• 🎥 BodyCam, body camera optics with blur, flare, and sensor artifacts.
• ✨ Lens Flare, cinematic flare generation for bright scenes.
• 🌫️ Blurry, blurred vision built from frame history.

Bundle Requirements  

All ‘Spice Up’ effects are developed for ‘Universal Render Pipeline’ (URP), which means they do not work with Built-In or HDRP.

Unity 6 or Higher  

The current bundle is centered on Unity 6 and the URP Render Graph workflow. You will need URP 17.0.3 or higher installed. If you need help with setup, follow the official URP installation guide.

Make sure that ‘Compatibility Mode’ is disabled in ‘Project Settings > Graphics > Render Graph’.

Installation  

Step 1: Add Renderer Feature  

The effects must be registered in your project’s URP configuration:

1. Locate your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Click Add Renderer Feature and select the desired distortion from Fronkon Games > Retro.

Once installed, you have to add the effect you want to use from ‘Retro’ as a ‘Render Feature’. This official tutorial tells how to do it.

Remember that the camera you are using must have the ‘Post Processing’ option enabled.

Step 2: Configure The Volume  

To apply the effects to your scene:

1. Create a Volume component (Global or Local) or select one that has already been created.
2. In the Volume component, create or assign a Volume Profile.
3. Click Add Override and select the desired distortion from Fronkon Games > Retro.
4. Enable the ‘Intensity’ parameter (and any others you wish to modify).

VR  

To increase compatibility with VR devices, I recommend that you select ‘Stereo Rendering Mode’ in ‘Multi Pass’ mode:

🩸 Damage  

‘Damage’ is a complete hit-feedback effect for health loss, impacts, and low-health stress. It combines continuous injured-eye visuals with optional directional hit indicators and flash feedback.

Requisites  

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, your project must meet the following requirements:

• Unity: 6000.0.58f2 or higher.
• Universal RP: 17.0.3 or higher.

Installation Guide  

Step 1: Add Renderer Feature  

The effect must be registered in your project’s URP configuration:

1. Locate your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Click Add Renderer Feature and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > Damage.

Step 2: Configure the Volume  

To apply the effect to your scene:

1. Create a Volume component (Global or Local).
2. In the Volume component, create or assign a Volume Profile.
3. Click Add Override and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > Damage.
4. Enable the ‘Intensity’ parameter and the damage-related fields you want to control.

Parameter Configuration  

With ‘Intensity’ you can control the overall strength of the effect [0.0 - 1.0]. If it is 0, the effect will not be active.

Damage  

The main ‘Damage’ block in the custom inspector defines the continuous injury state, including the nested Liquid, Veins, and Drops controls shown under it.

Liquiq	Veins	Drops

The base damage look is controlled by normalized health feedback and three layered visual systems.

Impacts Strength  

In the custom inspector, the ‘Impacts Strength’ block controls the strength, timing, thickness, and softness of flash hits and directional indicators.

Color Gradient  

This ‘Color Gradient’ section in the custom inspector controls how the damage overlay is tinted and blended, including the conditional tint slots shown for multi-color gradients.

Definition  

This standalone ‘Definition’ control appears next in the custom inspector and adjusts the border definition of the liquid layer.

Brightness  

This standalone ‘Brightness’ control appears after Definition in the custom inspector and adjusts the brightness of the liquid effect itself.

Noise  

The custom inspector groups these controls under ‘Noise’, where they define the animated Voronoi breakup applied over the damage effect.

Distortion  

This standalone ‘Distortion’ control appears after Noise in the custom inspector and determines how much the damage refracts the background image.

Desaturation  

This standalone ‘Desaturation’ control appears after Distortion in the custom inspector and drains color from unaffected areas as damage increases.

Edge  

Under ‘Edge’ in the custom inspector, these controls shape the outer contour of the effect.

Blink  

The ‘Blink’ block in the custom inspector controls eyelid-style vision closure plus the visible eye position.

Remap Range  

This final control matches the ‘Remap Range’ slider shown at the bottom of the custom inspector and lets you compress or expand the damage response curve.

Runtime Control  

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.SpiceUp.Damage;

[SerializeField] private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

private void ApplyDamage(float normalizedDamage)
{
  if (volumeProfile.TryGet(out DamageVolume volume))
  {
    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.damage.overrideState = true;
    volume.desaturation.overrideState = true;

    volume.intensity.value = 1.0f;
    volume.damage.value = Mathf.Clamp01(normalizedDamage);
    volume.desaturation.value = normalizedDamage > 0.5f ? 0.25f : 0.0f;
  }
}

💡 Take a look at the code in the included demo to learn more about how the effect works.

Impacts Manager  

ImpactsManager is an optional runtime helper for flash hits and directional indicators. It reads the active DamageVolume, animates hit timing automatically, and can show up to 4 simultaneous directional indicators.

• Target: usually the damaged actor or player transform.
• Hit(float damage, Transform damager): main runtime entry point. damage should be normalized to [0, 1].
• Stop(): resets current flash and indicator state.

If Target and damager are both valid, the helper computes the hit direction relative to the target. If damager is null, it falls back to a centered flash-only response.

Performance Characteristics  

The effect executes in a single full-screen render pass, but visual complexity varies with the enabled layers.

• Pass Count: 1 blit pass.
• Texture Samples: Moderate and dependent on enabled layers such as drops and noise.
• Complexity: O(1) per pixel with extra branch cost for layered damage features.

Usage Patterns and Presets

Resolution  

For ‘Night Vision’, the parameter flow below matches the exact custom inspector order, starting with resolution, blur, and glow.

Color Grading  

Inside the custom inspector, the ‘Color Grading’ foldout shapes the tonal response before the gradient remap is applied.

Gradient  

The ‘Gradient’ foldout in the custom inspector controls the luminance remap and the gradient that colors the effect.

Edge  

The custom inspector handles edge detection styling inside the ‘Edge’ foldout.

UI  

The reticle and overlay elements are configured in the custom inspector under the ‘UI’ foldout.

Vignette  

Use the ‘Vignette’ foldout in the custom inspector to configure the framing controls summarized below.

Glitches  

The custom inspector groups the distortion, digital noise, scanline, and RGB-offset artifacts inside the ‘Glitches’ foldout.

Runtime Control  

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.SpiceUp.NightVision;

[SerializeField] private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

private void SetNightVision(bool enabled)
{
  if (volumeProfile.TryGet(out NightVisionVolume volume))
  {
    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.intensity.value = enabled ? 1.0f : 0.0f;
  }
}

💡 Take a look at the code in the included demo to learn more about how the effect works.

Night Vision Manager  

NightVisionManager is an optional helper component that turns the effect into a full gameplay system rather than just a volume override.

• On: the main runtime toggle.
• VolumeProfile: must contain the NightVisionVolume used by the manager.
• SwitchOnTime / SwitchOffTime: ramp-in and ramp-out duration.
• AutomaticLightManagement: automatically disables other realtime lights and manages a spotlight on the same object.
• LightRange / LightInnerAngle / LightOuterAngle / LightIntensity / LightShadow / LightCullingMask: spotlight configuration.
• AudioSource / SwitchOnClip / SwitchOffClip: optional switch sounds.
• IgnoreLights: realtime lights that should remain active when night vision turns on.

The manager also exposes an OnSwitch event and will create a hidden spotlight automatically if light management is enabled and no light is already present.

Performance Characteristics  

This is one of the heavier effects in the bundle because it chains multiple operations.

• Pass Count: 3 blit-style passes.
• Texture Samples: Moderate to high depending on blur, UI, and noise settings.
• Memory: Additional temporary render textures are used for the pipeline stages.

Usage Patterns and Presets  

Tactical NVG  

For realistic night-ops presentation:

• Resolution: Half or Normal
• Blur: 1 - 2
• Glow: 1.0 - 2.5
• UI > Intensity: 0.05 - 0.15

Horror Camcorder Vision  

For dirtier cinematic night vision:

• Blur: 2 - 4
• Edge > Strength: medium
• Noise: medium/high
• Vignette: binocular or monocular

🎥 BodyCam  

‘BodyCam’ simulates the look of compact wearable cameras using lens warping, radial blur, flare artifacts, band-limited color, and sensor noise.

Requisites  

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, your project must meet the following requirements:

• Unity: 6000.0.58f2 or higher.
• Universal RP: 17.0.3 or higher.

Installation Guide  

Step 1: Add Renderer Feature  

1. Locate your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Click Add Renderer Feature and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > BodyCam.

Step 2: Configure the Volume  

1. Create a Volume component (Global or Local).
2. In the Volume component, create or assign a Volume Profile.
3. Click Add Override and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > BodyCam.
4. Enable ‘Intensity’ and the camera-style parameters you want to control.

Parameter Configuration  

With ‘Intensity’ you can control the overall strength of the effect [0.0 - 1.0]. If it is 0, the effect will not be active.

Fish eye  

For ‘BodyCam’, this section follows the exact custom inspector order, beginning with the ‘Fish eye’ block and its nested lens-shaping controls.

Blur  

The ‘Blur’ block in the custom inspector contains the radial blur settings described here.

Flare  

Lens reflex behavior is configured in the custom inspector through the ‘Flare’ block below.

Chroma band  

These standalone controls appear after Flare in the custom inspector and define the band-limited look of the sensor.

Shadow tint  

The custom inspector uses the ‘Shadow tint’ block to control tonal bias in the darker parts of the image.

Noise  

This final standalone ‘Noise’ control appears at the bottom of the custom inspector and adds signal noise to the result.

Runtime Control  

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.SpiceUp.BodyCam;

[SerializeField] private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

private void SetBodyCam(bool enabled)
{
  if (volumeProfile.TryGet(out BodyCamVolume volume))
  {
    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.intensity.value = enabled ? 1.0f : 0.0f;
  }
}

You can simulate a reflection of a light with ‘Angle’. You can change it manually, or you can synchronize it with the Y axis of your character’s rotation:

volume.flareAngle.value = this.transform.eulerAngles.y;

💡 Take a look at the code in the included demo to learn more about how the effect works.

BodyCam Roll  

BodyCamRoll is an optional helper component that writes camera-rotation inertia into BodyCamVolume.offset so the center of the effect lags behind the camera.

• Strength: amount of offset generated from rotation changes.
• Speed: how quickly the offset catches up.
• UpdateRotation(): resets the internal baseline rotation.

UpdateRotation() is useful after teleports, snap turns, cutscenes, or any hard transform reset, so the next frame does not produce a sudden offset jump.

Note that this component is designed for objects that move in the XZ plane, and therefore rotate on the Y axis (as in the vast majority of FPS). If in your game the displacement planes are different, you will have to modify the code.

Performance Characteristics  

The effect is a little heavier than the simpler single-pass effects because it uses a two-stage render path.

• Pass Count: 2 blit-style passes.
• Texture Samples: Moderate and affected by blur sample count.
• Memory: Temporary render texture used between stages.

Usage Patterns and Presets  

Police Body Camera  

For a believable documentary look:

• Fish eye: 0.15 - 0.3

Iterations  

For ‘Lens Flare’, the explanation below keeps the exact inspector order, starting with the flare-generation controls before the nested blend and bands blocks.

Blend  

The nested ‘Blend’ block in the custom inspector controls how the flare is composited over the source image.

Bands  

The cinematic top-and-bottom band treatment is configured in the custom inspector inside the nested ‘Bands’ block.

Runtime Control  

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.SpiceUp.Lensflare;

[SerializeField] private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

private void SetFlares(float value)
{
  if (volumeProfile.TryGet(out LensflareVolume volume))
  {
    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.threshold.overrideState = true;
    volume.threshold.value = value;
    volume.intensity.value = 1.0f;
  }
}

💡 Take a look at the code in the included demo to learn more about how the effect works.

Performance Characteristics  

The effect runs in a single pass, but cost increases with iteration count.

• Pass Count: 1 blit pass.
• Texture Samples: Dependent on Iterations.
• Complexity: O(n) with respect to flare iteration count.

Usage Patterns and Presets

• Bands: 0.05 - 0.15

🌫️ Blurry  

‘Blurry’ creates delayed blurred vision by blending the current frame with a configurable history of previous frames. It feels temporal rather than purely optical, which makes it well suited to dizziness, dream sequences, concussions, intoxication, and slow-motion shock states.

Requisites  

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, your project must meet the following requirements:

• Unity: 6000.0.58f2 or higher.
• Universal RP: 17.0.3 or higher.

Installation Guide  

Step 1: Add Renderer Feature  

1. Locate your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Click Add Renderer Feature and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > Blurry.

Step 2: Configure the Volume  

1. Create a Volume component (Global or Local).
2. In the Volume component, create or assign a Volume Profile.
3. Click Add Override and select Fronkon Games > Spice Up > Blurry.
4. Enable ‘Intensity’ and the frame-history parameters you want to control.

Parameter Configuration  

With ‘Intensity’ you can control the overall strength of the effect [0.0 - 1.0]. If it is 0, the effect will not be active.

Frames  

For ‘Blurry’, the notes below follow the exact custom inspector order, from the stored history size through the capture timing and history resolution.

Lower frame counts produce a milder smear. Higher values create stronger temporal blur, but increase memory use and the amount of visible lag in the effect.

Runtime Control  

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.SpiceUp.Blurry;

[SerializeField] private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

private void SetBlur(float value)
{
  if (volumeProfile.TryGet(out BlurryVolume volume))
  {
    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.frames.overrideState = true;
    volume.intensity.value = value;
    volume.frames.value = 5;
  }
}

💡 Take a look at the code in the included demo to learn more about how the effect works.

Performance Characteristics  

Blurry is one of the more memory-sensitive effects because it stores frame history.

• Pass Count: copy + effect pass, plus history management.
• Texture Samples: Multiple history-frame lookups depending on Frames.
• Memory: Up to 10 history render targets are maintained internally.

Usage Patterns and Presets  

Concussion Blur  

For gameplay-safe disorientation:

• Frames: 3 - 5
• Wait: 0.01 - 0.03
• Resolution: 0.75 - 1.0

Dream Sequence  

For more pronounced temporal smear:

• Frames: 6 - 10
• Wait: 0.03 - 0.08
• Resolution: 0.25 - 0.75

F.A.Q.  

Effect Not appearing  

If the effect doesn’t appear in your scene:

1. Verify Renderer Feature: Check that the renderer feature is added to your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Check Volume Profile: Ensure a Volume component exists in your scene with the effect override enabled.
3. Confirm Intensity: Verify that the Intensity parameter is set to a value greater than 0.0 and enabled.
4. Camera Settings: Check that your camera has Post Processing enabled in the Camera component.

How do I make the effect also affect the UI?  

If your UI is using ‘Screen Space - Overlay’, it bypasses the camera and therefore bypasses the effect. Change the canvas to ‘Screen Space - Camera’ and assign the camera used for rendering the effect.

Can I use it in a material?  

Yes! Any effect can easily be used on a material. Just follow these steps:

• In the ‘Project’ window, open the ‘Create’ menu with the right mouse button and select ‘Create > Render Texture’.
• Create a new camera and in ‘Output Texture’ select the Render Texture previously created. Remember to activate ‘Post Processing’ and select in ‘Renderer’ where you have the effect added.
• In the material you want to use, select in ‘Base Map’ the Render Texture.
  
  

Why does changing a value from code sometimes do nothing?  

In URP volumes, the parameter override must be enabled. When setting values from code, remember to set overrideState = true for every parameter you want the volume system to apply.
