Create Engineering and initial settings

New Project & New Scene;

Create lightweight Pipeline Asset, open vertex lighting with HDR, associate to graphics settings;

Placing the monkey Model in the scene, creating the default material Default,albedo = (25, 25, 25, 0)

The camera clear flags is set to solid Color = (0), FOV = 40;

The color Space of the Player settings = Linear;

Dissolve effects

Using simple noise nodes to generate a random alpha map, Alphaclipthreshold controls the display or concealment of the fragment with Alpha: When the fragment's Alpha < Alphaclipthreshold, the fragment is discarded, That is, hide does not show up.

Dissolve Edge Glow Effect

Use the Step node to convert an alpha map to a black-and-white map, and the monochrome map is multiplied by color and entered into the emission;

Step Node: Returns 1 If the value of the input in was greater than or equal to the value of the input Edge, otherwise Returns 0.

Post processing Effects

Select Main Camera, add component post Process layer (layer = postporcessing);

Post Process Layer

Create Post-process Volume (Gameobject, 3D Object, post-process Volume), set layer = Postprocessing,blend Distance = 1. Adjust the volume size to include the monkey model internally;

Post-process Volume

New post-processing Profile:

A) Add effect:color Grading (Mode = ACES)

b) Add effect:bloom (Intensity = 2, Threshold = 1)

After you add a post-processing effect, the final effect is as
