Grayscale Image Effect with Exclude Layers

An article by mgear

grayscale-image-effect-exclude-layers

Testing grayscale image effect with added ExcludeLayers option (*just took the script parts from CameraMotionBlur effect, since it supports excluding layers)

Instructions:
– Attach the script below to your camera *You need to import default effects package first (Assets/Import Package/Effects)
– Select excludeLayers (by default its Nothing)
– Set your excluded gameobjects to that layer

Shader source:
https://github.com/UnityCommunity/UnityLibrary/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/ImageEffects/GrayscaleLayers.cs

  i think the old image effects wont affect UI so would need to find some other ways to do it..
  
  this one says screen space canvas might work?

  ohoo github links are the worst : ] fixed again.
  
  *actually suggested github last year that the 404 page is misleading, looks like whole repo is gone.. pretty sure github could resolve the missing filename from updated repo also, or suggest to search with it..
