Hi Everyone, first post here so bear with me! I’m struggling with trying to create an interaction shader for a project I’m working on.

I’d just use a texture for the scan lines i.e. texture with black an white lines that you can use as an alpha for a lerp node (lerp node inputs are your two colors).. you plug the custom rotator into the UVs of that alpha texture, control the rotation angl…

Thank you very much for all your help, this worked perfectly!!

It gets easier the more you do it! Glad I could help
