Making pixelated effect with Amplify Impostors

Videos:

In my example I used this assets:

• Amplify Impostors by Amplify Creations
• Robot Sphere by Razgrizzz Demon
• Final IK by RootMotion

You need to bake an impostor for each mesh in your model

1. Add LODGroup script to your mesh
2. Delete all LOD levels except the first one
3. Select remained LOD group and delete all renderers except the one from this gameObject
4. Add AmplifyImpostor script to your mesh
5. Create new ImpostorAsset with this settings:
   1. Bake Type - Spherical
   2. Texture size - 128-2048. Bigger object = bigger texture
   3. Axis Frames - feel free to experiment with this one, but keep in mind that many frames = few pixels per one frame
6. Press Bake Impostor. After a little time wild Impostor object will appear as a child of your gameObject
7. Make sure that the renderer on your old object is turned off
8. Repeat for all other meshes in your model

After that select all impostor textures in Project view and change Filter mode to Point (no filter)
