[ Guests cannot view attachments ] A lot of focus was given to the non surface shaders, so here is a post to highlight some of the benefits of using the surface shaders in a scene.
(all the screen shot and feature are done using Unity free)
TMPro surface shader provide Unity lighting system all it needs to perform lighting & shading. Including shadows & reflections.
Here is a mock-up selection screen, this is as far as my art skill will go
The scene was easy to setup. A camera + directional light with plane and 3 instances of the Unity soldier each with a TMPro object (using the surface shader) + point lights
Here is the scene with the light disabled

Now with the Glow enabled and point light enabled on the second soldier.
(Because all text is dynamic and real-time, any names can be displayed)

Lets turn on all the lights and add two TMPro object for a 2D title.
(Surface shaders cast scene shadow, while non surface shader use a built in lighting system for shading control)

Since all the lighting and effects are dynamic its possible to implement highlight section for custom text.

All scene light off. We can see that the title text attached to the camera stays and is no affected by the scene lighting.

And a little tease, real-time FX on TMPro text...
