My thought for this particular challenge was to have a holographic monkey head emitting from a hand - either my hand or a character's hand. This is my WIP page.Â
The first WIP thread, nice! Cool idea too đ Looking forward to seeing this come to life, I'll be watching đ Have fun and good luck!
The first thing I decided to work on is the monkey. For starters, I followed Kentâs âHologram Shaderâ on Shader Forge series. That placed me in the right ballpark. Then I modified the shader â first by switching the wave texture for a Voronoi texture, and then connected a wireframe node to the Voronoiâs scale.
While this was a good start, it still needed some tweaking. For example, there wasnât enough transparency. I overlaid the âbackfacingâ and âPointinessâ portions of the geometry node, and lightened it with the brightness/contrast node. Still, it needed further tweaking.  After a few searches on YouTube, I fiddled with the options slot in the materials tab. It worked! All that needed to change was setting the blend mode to âAlpha blend.â
