________________________________________________________
✅ World- or local-space aligned grid
Projects cleanly over any surface. Perfect for terrain overlays, planning tools, simulation systems, and RTS-style maps.
📏 Multi-layer Support
Blend two grid layers (e.g. 1m / 10m) through one material shader.
🎯 Fixed Line Thickness
Gridlines retain constant width in world units - no matter the grid spacing or camera zoom.
🧪 Anti-aliased Lines
Uses screen-space derivatives to reduce shimmer and aliasing at distance.
🔄 Camera Distance Fade
Fade grids out smoothly with configurable start/end range and fade strength for each layer.
🟡 Soft Mask Fade
Fade out towards a certain world position, e.g. character position or cursor world position.
🎨 Texture Fill
Fill individual tiles in the grid with colors from a texture, allowing you to show different states such as walkable, weights, or other.
🪄 User-friendly UI
Comes with a tailored ShaderGUI that replaces the default inspector for streamlined material setup. * Added post-release in 2025.04.21a
