Problem example

This is the problem I have. I have created a shader that draws circle. But depending on the distance from the camera thickness changes.

Circle Shader

Is it possible to keep thickness constant?

    Did you check out previous questions about using shaders to draw circles? – DMGregory Jan 26 '19 at 17:58
  • @DMGregory I had a look at them but I am not good with HLSL or GLSL. While I can copy paste some things, I am better at shader graph. I will definitely research more, but for Global Game Jam I don't have too much time to spare. Thanks. – Candid Moon _Max_ Jan 26 '19 at 22:20

    To use the trick in my answer there in a graph, you'll need the DDX / DDY nodes described here. The technique should translate pretty directly. :) – DMGregory Jan 26 '19 at 22:23
  • @DMGregory Thank you in pointing me in the right direction. I will definitely try to replicate it in Shader Graph and post about my success here. – Candid Moon _Max_ Jan 27 '19 at 11:01
  • Right now I am using Shapes plugin from Freya, works pretty well. It's definitely possible to do it yourself, but requires a lot of knowledge. – Candid Moon _Max_ Jan 07 '22 at 00:29
  • Want to post an answer showing how you solved this with the Shapes library? – DMGregory Jan 07 '22 at 00:35
  • @DMGregory I would if I knew how, I believe I don't understand this topic on acceptable level, I didn't exactly finish this project or done it to have a proof of work. But from examples I could see that it's possible to get satisfactory results - https://acegikmo.com/shapes/docs/#anti-aliasing | Anti-Aliasing chapter. On top of that this is not a free package. Also, if someone is reading this, then there is this post from developers of Kerbal Space Program 2, https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/dev-diaries/6509/ , might be useful. – Candid Moon _Max_ Jan 07 '22 at 19:32
