Any number of effects can be placed on one texture.



The Colours for the effects are also custom definable

Follow the steps below to use in any game.

Select the base prefab: From the folder Assets\eWolf\eWolfDynamicVDU\Prefabs\ Select the size of the texture you wish to use (this can be changed any time later) Drag it in to the scene and place it where you need it.

Define the effect: In the Inspector, use the Effect drop download list to select the effect from the list.

Define the size: Use the Rect setting to define the size as a percentage of the image. a width of 1 is the full width of the texture, 0.5 is half the width. And you can tick Apply Border if you want to have a border around the effect.
