Curved world shader effect ($200 bounty) (COMPLETED!)

I am starting this bounty at $100 (now $200) and will raise it over time. The bounty is available for the first person who publishes an animal crossing style shader effect in a public github repo as a Defold project and posts it here. I will pay you on Paypal.

Anyone is eligible to take this bounty as long as I am able to pay you with Paypal. I will be posting more bounties over time to encourage people to create useful example projects that will help others make creative projects. I feel like there is not enough people making these kinds of things for Defold / there is a huge gap in these kinds of projects that exist for other engines like Unity and we need to change this so I will also encourage others who are able to begin listing bounties to create a financial incentive for people to make and post open source sample of generally useful concepts as projects.

I came online to buff the bounty to $200!

And there is a valid in progress submission that checks most of the boxes! So assume this bounty as claimed and the submission should be posted here soon. :saluting_face:

Sorry guys, I got sick right after getting the basics done, so this took a lot longer than expected, but here it is! :partying_face:
GitHub - rgrams/defold-curved-world: Demo of a curved world effect similar to that in Animal Crossing · GitHub

Try the web demo here.

You essentially get three effects in one: you can curve the Z-axis, the X-axis, or shear the world horizontally (or a combination of any of these).

There are some scripts included to help automatically calculate a new culling frustum that works in most sensible use cases, or you can set your own.

As requested, I also adapted Dragosha’s light and shadows example to give it the curved world effect. The forked repo for that is here: GitHub - rgrams/defold-light-and-shadows-curved: Pack of shaders to make light and shadows in Defold. · GitHub. Web demo here.

Let me know if you find any bugs, or have any questions or requests.
