In this article, I introduce how to make a gimmick to make an object appear only when being viewed through a window. The sample project shows some gimmicks by the window shader. Referring to it, please make your original one.
2 What is Window Shader?
By Window Shader, you can make a gimmick to make an object appear just when being viewed through a window, which is introduced in Mr 凹's blog.
It's a shader that can render various things by using your ingenuity and get along well with VR where you can change your viewpoint freely.
You can make a surprising mechanism by just using this shader, so I recommend it to beginners as well.
A gimmick is created by attaching a dedicated shader to each of 'window' and 'object placed on the other side of the window'.
You can read the detailed technical explanation in Mr 凹's blog, so check it if you are interested in.
Let's use Window Shader actually.
Firstly, we create a shader.
① Right-click on the Project window and select 'Create' > 'Standard Surface Shader' to create a new shader'. Create two of them.
② Rename one 'Window Shader', and the other 'Masked Object Shader'.
③ Double-click each shader created to edit its code. After deleting all the existing codes, paste the code for the shader shown earlier in this tutorial.
Paste the corresponding code in each shader.
After you finished editing the shaders, return to the Unity screen.
① Right-click on the Project window and select 'Create' > 'Material' to make a new material. Create two of them.
② Rename one 'Window Material' and the other 'Masked Object Material'.
② Open the Inspector of the material created and drag the shader created earlier onto the blank space on the Inspector.
Drag 'Window Shader' onto 'Window Material', and 'Masked Object Shader' onto 'Masked Object Material'.
Alternatively, you can select the corresponding shader from the drop-down menu.
Attach the shader to the material.
Next, we prepare 'Window object' and 'Object viewed through the window'.
You can use any 3D object to make them.
For simplicity, we use 'Quad' to create a general window.
Right-click on the Hierarchy window and select '3D Object' > ' Quad'. Rename it 'Window'.
Please note that 'Quad' consists of directional surfaces and it's visible from one side but not visible from the other side. When attaching the window shader to it, you need to view from 'visible' side.
After attaching 'Window Material', the mesh becomes invisible, so create a frame if you need it.
This time, we transform 'Box' into a frame in a simplified way.
Firstly, right-click the Hierarchy window and select '3D Object' > 'Box'. Rename it 'frame_01'. Drag the 'frame01' created onto 'Window' to make 'frame_01' a child object of 'Window'.
Open the Inspector of 'frame_01' and set the 'Scale' value. Set (X, Y, Z) to (1, 0.01, 0.01).
To change the colour of the frame, create a material and attach it to the frame.
Right-click on the Project window and select 'Create' > 'Material'. Rename it 'Frame'.
Open the Inspector of 'Frame' and click the colour-selection tool next to 'Albedo'.
It brings up the colour-selection window, so select the colour you want. I selected black here.
The material is applied by attaching it to 'frame_01'.
Select the colour you want.
Now you just need to duplicate it to make four frames and place them at correct positions. Right-click on 'frame_01' then you can select 'Copy' or 'Paste'. Use those functions to duplicate the frame.
Set the position and rotation of each frame as shown below.
Set the positions of the frames.
Next, place 'the object viewed through the window' on the other side of the window.
We simply place a 'Box' this time.
Right-click on the Hierarchy window and select '3D object' > 'Box'. Rename it 'Masked_object'.
Open the Inspector of 'Masked_object' and set the X, Y and Z value of 'Scale' to 0.25, 025 and 0.25. Place it a little behind 'Window'.
By attaching the material, the gimmick of the window shader is completed.
Attach 'Window Material' to 'Window' and 'Masked Object Material' to the object viewed through the window.
The completion of the window shader.
Sprite is an object for 2D graphics and it's very convenient when placing characters and images in VR space.
To make a sprite appear only when viewed through the window, you need to use a dedicated shader, 'Masked Object Shader(Sprite)'.
Note that 'Window Shader' is commonly used here.
This time, as seen below, we create characters floating in the air.
Firstly, prepare an image used as Sprite. When you display characters only, as seen in this example, prepare an image (.png) with a transparent background.
I prepare an example of a transparent image below, so you can copy and use it to make the same result.
After preparing an image, drag it onto the Project window in Unity to import it.
Open the Inspector fo the image. You will find the 'Texture Type field' set to 'Default'. Change it to 'Sprite(2D and UI)' by the drop-down menu.
After that, press the Apply button at the bottom of the Inspector window to confirm the change.
It finishes the preparation to use an image as Sprite. Drag the image in the Project window onto the Hierarchy window to make the Sprite object appear in the Scene.
Scale it to an appropriate size and place it a little behind 'Window'.
Then, to make it work, create a material and attach it in the same way that we create 'Masked Object Material' earlier.
The shader for Sprite, 'Masked Object Shader (Sprite)', was shown earlier in this article.
The window shader has its Mask value set and the object is visible only when the Mask value of 'Window Shader Material' is identical to the Mask value of 'Masked Object Material'.
By exploiting this system, you can create a gimmick to make a different object visible when you viewed each window.
It's very easy to change the Mask value.
Open the Inspector of the material and specify the value in the 'Mask' field.
By preparing multiple materials and set different mask value for each. Then, set the combinations of mask values for windows and objects, you can create a gimmick shown below.
It's fairly easy to import the gimmick by the window shader to STYLY.
You just need to convert the created object into a Prefab and upload it to STYLY.
With Window shader, you can create various gimmick by using your ingenuity.
Please find various rendering techniques, referring to this tutorial.

Maaco paint colors come in every color you can think of. You can even purchase MAACO paint colors custom created. Maaco paint colors are one of the most inexpensive paints in the market today. When customers get a paint job they usually will get their vehicle buffed, sanded, and then whatever else is needed in order to prepare the car before it gets painted. Then it will run a consumer a tab of around $1,500 dollars, but if you just want to purchase paint job and look through the Maaco paint colors and that's it, the Maaco paint price colors are all only $300 dollars. However, the more maaco paint colors you choose from, depending on how big or how small your vehicle is it will alter the Maaco paint colors pricing scale. I actually enjoy the light baby blue color by Maaco paint colors. It is a unique shade of blue and would look amazing on an old antique car, maybe a classic Cadillac from the 1950's?
Maaco paints sure do get trash talked quite a bit, especially over the internet, but I actually think Maaco paints are a great investment. The reason some consumers feel Maaco paints is a horrible product, is because some people have received a MAACO paint job and over a period of time, the paint chipped or peeled off and they felt it was a poor job. However, I think when you get a paint job, no matter where you get it done at; the environment plays a vital part in the condition of the vehicle and what the paint job results will end up as. For instance, if you were to receive a Maaco paint job and then leave your car in below freezing temperatures all winter long without putting the vehicle in a garage, it will get damaged. The heavy winds and snow will be too harsh on your vehicle and that is just general knowledge.
I suggest that if you have a car 10 years or older, odds are it is not in mint condition. Most likely the older cars are just getting the individual from point A to point B and that is fine, but maybe there is a little bit of rust or scratches and you would feel better with a paint job. Well there is no sense is spending a ton of money on a vehicle that may only last another 2-3 years. Plus if you go to some of the Maaco's competitors you can expect to pay prices up to $10,000 dollars for a great paint job. Well realistically speaking, investing $10,000 dollars on a vehicle that may only be worth $2,000 dollars blue book doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. So I suggest taking a stroll down to your local Macco's and looking through the Maaco auto paint colors booklet and getting a paint job done by them. Like I said before, Maaco colors offer the consumer just about each and every color they want, plus they can also do fun designs with their Maaco colors, such as pin stripes, or fire blazes. Another thing to remember, when choosing Maaco colors, is to choose a color you will be happy with long term. You should pick Maaco colors that fit your car. For instance a sea foam green or light pastel pink would look amazing on an old 1963 Cadillac; however the same sea foam green would more likely look hideous on a 2010 Dodge Charger than matte black car paint. You have to think about the era in which your car was made and what colors fit your cars personality the best. If you need help the employees at Maaco are wonderful and easy to talk to, they can give you great advice and I recommend if you are leery on a color, to go to them first. I mean they do this sort of thing for a living, and I would take their expertise over any semi great idea you think you have, because if you are only okay on a color idea that you choose, odds are you will be back within a few months choosing another color and by choosing another color that just means you will have to open up that wallet of yours again and fork out some more cash. Also if you have any questions before taking a visit to your local Maaco location visit the internet and browse through consumer reviews and comments on past services and jobs Maaco has provided the public with. I am warning you, some comments and reviews may leave you unsettling, but then some will be positive as well. I suggest spending some time really looking into what people in the past have thought about Maaco and then take all of what you found and look at what the majority feel.

BAE Makes Big Bet on Hybrid-Electric Drive
By Stew Magnuson
BAE Systems' prospects for winning the Army's coveted ground combat vehicle contract will hinge on a hybrid-electric drive propulsion system that has never been used on a large military vehicle.
The company is betting that the Army will see the technology the way it does. A hybrid-electric GCV will be its only entry to the high-stakes competition.
"It certainly has got a lot of attention, both good and bad," Mark Signorelli, vice president and general manager of vehicle systems at BAE, said of the company's proposal.
Early skepticism centered on the maturity of hybrid electric drives for combat vehicles, he said. The general public, and some in the Army, only think of the technology as something on the Prius, or city buses, he said during an Oct. 22 briefing on the sidelines of the Association of the United States Army annual convention in Washington, D.C.
Hybrid-electric engines combine a traditional engine with an electric engine that uses regenerative braking that converts kinetic energy into additional power.
"A lot of folks believe it is a radically new approach to propulsion systems in combat vehicles," he admitted. In fact, they are widely used in industrial settings. Almost all heavy mining equipment is diesel electric. Caterpillar Inc. has used the engines in bulldozers. Submarines have employed them since the 1920s, he told reporters.
"We believe it is a technology that has been mature, and we have done a lot of work over the last three years to further advance that technology and make it ready for this class of combat vehicle," he said.
The Army awarded General Dynamics Land Systems and BAE technology demonstration phase contracts in August 2011 to develop their programs. General Dynamics' proposal was for a vehicle with a diesel only engine.
Electric power and storage, allows integration of new technologies "and allows us to fundamentally architect a new combat vehicle," he said. The number one benefit is packaging flexibility, or the ability to configure the vehicle in different ways than one can with a conventional mechanical drive system, he said. Those make engineers a slave to the relationship between the engine and the transmission, he said.
Conventional engines take up most of the front of a vehicle, and creates the need for under-armor. They force designers put the crew further back in the vehicle.
The dual-engine in BAE's proposed hybrid-electric system can move soldiers further up in the compartment, compress the area they are in, and put the needed protection in a smaller space. That takes away an armor weight burden, he said.
The hybrid engine provides high torque, so it can turn on a dime, giving drivers added agility, Signorelli added.
The ability to store energy can add silent mobility and silent watch capabilities, he said. The extra power it produces will allow the Army to integrate new lethality systems such as directed energy weapons. "It opens up a whole new area of lethality applications for the Army when before frankly there was no way for them" to do that, Signorelli said.
Overall, there is 3 tons of weight savings in the 70-ton vehicle, he asserted. The electric drives are inherently lighter and there is also less need for armor. The Army could reduce the weight of the GCV or provide more protection for the same weight.
One of the two engines can be lost and it will still move and continue to operate. "I think we're talking about a little bit more than a limp home," he said. It can move 35 kilometers per hour on one engine "which is pretty significant in a vehicle in the 70-ton weight class."
Most important for soldiers in the field, the engines are more reliable than their conventional counterparts, he said. Yes, they can reduce the amount of fuel consumed, but that is not driving the Army's requirements, he said.
Of course, the Army is not taking the company's word for it. The 27-month technology demonstration phase continues.
BAE has set up a "hotbuck," or a mock, static truck with the engine configuration and pressure points that simulate real road courses in a variety of road conditions in a Santa Clara, Calif., facility. It hopes to have put the engine through 1,000 miles of testing by May and 2,000 miles by September prior to the Army selecting winners for an anticipated engineering and manufacturing development contract, he said.

The future of Formula One is here and now with the reveal of the McLaren MP4-X Formula One Concept. Dubbed as McLaren's "vision of the future," the MP4-X is chock full of bleeding edge performance and design that the carmaker notes is all real, even if its in the earliest stages of development. Some of those parts include the idea that you can drive the car with hand gestures, cutting out all physical controls in place of the idea of - one day - brain-controlled driving. Other developments, also that aren't allowed under the F1 rules, include a newly sculpted underbody and electrodes fitted to the car that turn air into plasma for extra downforce in corners. Rounding it out, there is a protective-like structure made of a photochromic and hydrophobic material that repels water, tints, and protects from impacts, hopefully ruling out the fatal accidents of recent decades. The list goes on and on. Check it out below.


This is my plea for you to help me learn how to fish. I have been freelancing for the last few months "beauty and massaging" I am doing really well so far but it's time for me to expand and grow. In order to do this, I need about R70 000.00 for equipment. I have procured a working space and paid the rent and deposit. Although I do well I have no credit score. Yes, I have not owed money in 13 years. This is why I am asking you to help me reach my goals.
Below are my reasons for why I want to be successful.
It's difficult for me to describe the entire story in detail so I will keep it brief.
My mom needs a shoulder operation; she's been working with a busted shoulder for longer than 2 years. We don't have medical.
My brother needs to go to university next year and besides having a very promising rugby career he wants to study. I would love to give him what he needs.
My sister in law has epilepsy and a list full of medical issues that stops her from being able to keep her job. I would like to be able to offer her a job and make her feel self-sufficient and worthy. If I could pay for her FGASA (wildlife is her passion) it would be a dream come true and it will really help my brother out.
I would like to make a success of my life and it doesn't have to make billions I just want to be able to help my family and feed them myself.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please remember every cent helps.

Quick Value 5.24.21 ($T and $DISCA)
AT&T spin + merge with Discovery
April 2021 advance retail sales came out recently. I wanted to take a look at retail sales stacked against 2020, 2019, and 2018 levels…
Quick recap… April 2021 retail & food services totaled $616.7bn — this compares to $407.2bn in 2020, $508bn in 2019, and $483.9bn in 2018 — that's a 10% CAGR from 2019 and 8.4% CAGR from 2018. No surprise here, people are spending more money!
Here's an interesting note — retail sales increased $108.7bn from April 2019 to April 2021 — of that increase, $36.8bn was attributed to buying cars and trucks and $28.4bn to "nonstore" purchases. So ~60% of the increase from 2019 to 2021 can be attributed to cars + e-commerce. Food & beverage (grocery + liquor stores) was the other notable increasing category at $9.6bn.
Sure, "nonstore" retail sales come from a lot of source but e-commerce is lumped into the 454 NAICS code…
It's been a higher growth NAICS category for quite a while now…
AT&T ($T) + Discovery ($DISCA)
Yes, I'm caving and writing about the merge + spin announced a few days ago… In the proposed transaction, AT&T shareholders will receive shares in 2 new businesses:
A standalone wireless / wireline / broadband company (known today as AT&T Mobility); and
A new media company consisting of the old Time Warner assets + Discovery / Scripps.
I think a reasonable place to start is with some basic numbers…
There have been plenty of headlines flagging AT&T as sitting on way too much debt and leverage running high… But really, since the Time Warner acquisition, leverage has been in great shape relative to cash generation (which matters to me more so than EBITDA).
The highlighted periods indicate the DIRECTV acquisition in 2015 and the Time Warner acquisition in 2018. Both involved new debt and an increased share count. All-in , AT&T issued ~2bn shares for these acquisitions and added $56.5bn in debt.
As a reference point — competitor Verizon Wireless has $148bn in net debt at 1Q21 and had trailing FCF of ~$24bn for debt/FCF of 6.2x. Even after the spin of the media business, standalone Wireless Co will have a comparable leverage profile to Verizon.
Along with the announcement, AT&T is cutting the dividend to a 40-43% payout of the anticipated $20bn FCF which comes to ~$1.15 per share… Verizon has a ~4.4% dividend yield which would equate to $26 per share for the new wireless business. That price point would value Wireless Co at about 6.5x EV/EBITDA vs. Verizon at ~8x. Cutting the dividend also has the effect of making the Wireless Co more competitive with Verizon, T-Mobile, and others. Lastly, this segment has historically performed well for AT&T — EBITDA grew from $25bn in 2013 to $30.5bn in 2020 (just the wireless segment excluding fiber/broadband/wireline).
Onto the Media business. AT&T shareholders will own 71% of the new company and Discovery will own 29%. That should leave ~2.5bn shares outstanding for Discovery and a $75bn implied market cap with Discovery hanging around $30 per share.
Management indicated roughly $12bn run-rate EBITDA at time of close and a target of $14bn by 2023 with synergies… Media Co will send $43bn back to Wireless Co and Discovery brings ~$13bn in net debt = $56bn net debt at closing or 4.7x leverage.
With a ballpark 60% EBITDA-to-FCF conversion, this is trading at an implied ~10x FCF / 10-11x EBITDA currently. This is about in-line with standalone Discovery prior to the merger announcement.
Today's Discovery price implies about $7.40 per share to AT&T shareholders ($75bn implied market cap x 71% divide by 7.2bn shares outstanding) and Verizon's valuation would imply $26-33 per share for the Wireless Co. A bit more than the current $30 AT&T share price.
Plenty of open questions — whether the Wireless business deserves a Verizon multiple… whether the media business warrants a higher multiple… whether investors will forgive management for their past sins… heck, there are still risks in the deal closing in mid-2022…
There seems to be this general fear that management(s) will do something value destructive again based on past events. (Though I'm not sure I'd call the Time Warner deal a dud.) Despite the headlines there might be some value here…

Visitors to Sanibel Island, near Fort Myers on southwest Florida's coast, enjoy miles of sandy beaches, clear water and beachcombing for the area's famous pastel seashells. You can also explore the bird-filled J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge nearby. Camping is not allowed on the beach or at the refuge, and you'll find just one privately owned campground on Sanibel Island where RV and tent campers can spend the night.
The Periwinkle Park & Campground (sanibelcamping.com) features campsites within a 10-minute walk to the beach. The campground caters to tents, RVs and trailers, and campsites have full electricity and water hookups along with picnic tables. Amenities include a restroom with showers and a laundry facility. The campground also sells LP gas and ice, with a grocery store and other shops just a few minutes away on foot. Watch for the toucans, macaws and brown and ringtail lemurs that live on the campground's property. Reservations are strongly recommended for the popular campground, because there are no other camping facilities in the area.
The campground is convenient to most of Sanibel Island's attractions. Boaters and fishermen flock to the nearby Intercoastal Waterway, which runs into the Gulf of Mexico. The Sanibel Marina (sanibelmarina.com) offers fishing boat charters, and a boat dock if you bring your own vessel. If you want to ride bikes or scooters, head to Billy's Rentals (billysrentals.com). You can also rent beach equipment, including chairs, boogie boards and umbrellas. Then head to one of Sanibel's numerous beaches to search for more than 400 species of seashells and to swim, sunbathe or enjoy water sports.
A short drive from the campground takes you to the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge consists of a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico that features more than 6,400 acres of mangrove forests. Migratory birds rely on the area as an important stopover in the spring and fall. For glimpses into this select habitat, take the 4-mile, one-way Wildlife Drive as it leads through the refuge. You can also ride your bicycle on any of the trails and along Wildlife Drive. The best time to see wildlife is during low tide when the birds search for food on the mudflats.
The beaches are the main attraction on Sanibel Island, so bring beach equipment, towels and plenty of sunscreen. If you plan to collect some of the area's famous shells, carry containers to hold them. Visitors to the wildlife refuge will want a pair of binoculars for easy viewing of the birds without disrupting their foraging.

Mr. Rogers remains a beacon of hope and kindness years after his death. In one of the life lessons he taught countless young people, Rogers famously relayed some wisdom his mother gave him. When he would see scary or heartbreaking things on the news, Rogers' mother told him "Look for the helpers. You will always see people who are helping." In the wake of the deadly tornadoes that ripped through six states, destroyed countless homes, and ended dozens of lives, we're all doing the same. Jim Finch is one of those people. He brought food and drink to the people of Mayfield, Kentucky. More importantly, he brought hope.
THIS is what coming together in the wake of adversity is all about.

Today, folks around the internet (the Outsider team included) are hailing Jim Finch as a hero. However, it's clear from the two short clips of him making their rounds on Twitter that he doesn't feel the same. Finch saw that his fellow Kentuckians were in need. So, he stepped up to the plate to help out. In his own words, "It just needed to be done."
Jim Finch: Doing What Needs to Be Done
ABC journalist Victor Ordoñez introduced the world to Jim Finch. He posted two videos of the Kentucky-born hero on his Twitter feed on Sunday, two days after a tornado destroyed most of the town. In the first video, above, Finch shared why he was there with his grill and truckload of food. "I know they don't have no electricity, so that means they don't have no electric, no restaurants, no running water, so I just figured I'd do what I can do – show up with some food and some water."
In the second video, we learn a little more about Jim Finch and what he was cooking for the people of Mayfield. When Ordoñez asked if he was from the area, Finch said he was born in nearby Paducah. Now, he lives about half an hour away. His goal for the day was a simple one, "Tryin' to feed the people."
Jim wore a smile the whole morning, we laugh when I asked if he had a restaurant. He shook his head, "it just needed to be done," he said. pic.twitter.com/tpZ1LMvdOA

When asked what he was cooking Jim Finch said, "Hamburgers, chicken, I got sausage, eggs. Just some little simple stuff that you can have and not have to worry about making a mess. Grab and go type of food."
Later in the short clip, the journalist asked Finch if he owned a restaurant. He smiled, shook his head, and replied, "No, sir. It just needed to be done."
Jim Finch is putting hot food in the bellies of Mayfield, Kentucky residents. No one can dispute the importance of that act. However, the hope that he's giving to people in the area is just as important. He's showing residents that they're not alone, that people are still out there willing to help them carry on and rebuild. This world needs more people like Mr. Finch. Our hats are off to this extraordinary man.
