Tentacle Suckers Shader

Following the unexpected success of the tutorial on Inverse Kinematics for Tentacles, I have decided to share the shader that I used to make them so realistic.

If you are not familiar with shaders, fear not. This tutorial will be target at beginners, and you’ll only need a basic understanding of how Unity works.

  • Introduction
  • Part 1. Creating a new Shader
  • Part 2. Refitting the Shader
  • Part 3. Normal Extrusion
  • Part 4. Sucker Waves
  • Part 5. Selective Extrusion
  • Conclusion & Download

A link to download the full Unity package for this tutorial is provided at the end.
