Font Texture Example

Below is an example of a font texture. (The actual background should be transparent.)

You can create and use custom font textures as well. A FontTemplate.psd file is provided to help you get started.

Usage

• Refer to the Assets/HisaCat/Number Counter/Sample Scene for examples.
  To use, simply apply materials with shaders like HisaCat/Number Counter Unlit Cutout or HisaCat/Number Counter Unlit Alpha Blended to a Quad mesh.
• Properties:
  
  • Color: The final color to be multiplied.
  • Sprite Sheet: A texture containing digits 0–9 (5 Columns 2 Rows).
  • Display Length: Number of digits to display.
  • Value: The value to display.
  • Align: Alignment of the displayed value.
    • Fill Zeros: Right-align with empty spaces filled with 0.
    • Left: Left-aligns the number.
    • Right: Right-aligns the number.

Additional Information

This shader is manually coded and optimized for performance.
The core logic is located in NumberCounter.cginc if you’re interested in exploring the code.

Since this shader excludes certain padding areas around the edges, enabling the texture’s Mipmaps option won’t cause visual artifacts, which makes it compatible with games like VRChat.
