I had a problem with it though:
in scene view it looked right, but in game (even when launched from UnityEditor) it looked like a sharp sphere with some coloring on the edges.
Solved it replacing
Tags { "RenderType"="Transparent" }
with
Tags { "RenderType"="Transparent"
"Queue"="Transparent"}

i think that might also solve Roberto's problem, though im not sure, im new to unity as well as shaders in general

I have not tried these on mobiles at all. Should be able to look at the compiled shader code though and determine which (and how many) instructions are being used.

Very nice work!
The clouds shader work great in the Editor, but crash abruptly the iOS build on iPad3 / iPad2

Any idea what can be the instruction not digested by PowrrVR opengl ES 2 card?
Work great on Samsung Galaxy S2 so ...it must be something really iOS or PowerVR related.

Awesome post. I know it is old- and I am with Nancy, we're trying to make a cool "toy" for a charity gala and I would love to piggy back off of your work, rather than start all over figuring out the display on the alcoscan.

Please let me know if you would be willing to share your notes.

Best,
Brian

Is there a way to hack the alcoscan to read 0.00 regardless of alcohol contained in breath?

Thanks...

Also, when upgrading to OSX 10.7 Lion, the default terminal now declares itself as 'xterm-256color' instead of 'xterm-color'. You should thus add the line 'TERM xterm-256color' to your .dir_colors file, or change the declaration in the Terminal settings.

I remember wiring up my PG to a parallel port and playing volleyball in REND386 following the guide out of PCVR back in the 90's. You've totally brought the PG to a new level of awesome. Eat your heart out Wii. =)

I like that :-).
Nice stickers btw.

thanks
