Hello.

I'm trying to use Clip function documented here but I'm unable to find it in any shader type. Is there something I'm missing?

Alternatively, is there some other ASE friendly way of optimizing cutout sprites for minimizing overdraw / optimizing GPU performance?

Thanks.

Gonna check it out. I'm sure it will help, since there can't be much to go wrong

Thanks!

Why is this a problem for ASE?

Quoting from https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/Manual/CustomRenderTextures.html it says:

The only mandatory steps when writing a shader for a custom texture are:

#include “UnityCustomRenderTexture.cginc”
Use the provided Vertex Shader ...

Understood.
Thanks for any effort you put into this, I really appreciate it.

It would seem UE4 has this functionality, named PreparePerturbNormalHQ which is exactly what I need.
Is there nothing similar, or possible, with ASE?

It does not solve my problem, since what I have is an RGBA output and not a texture. (Here comes the problem from the topic title)

I mean, It's nice you I don't have to create the process of converting height to normal map myself, but I need to offset things to do that, which I can't do without a ...

I can provide UVs (as far as I understand them) for the RGBA images if that would help...

At the moment, I'm layering multiple noise textures with different panning/ rotations / tiling etc to create a fog effect.
I wanted to create a normal map from the resulting fog as if it was a height map ...

Is there a way to convert RGBA or other output to a texture node that can use UVs?
Alternatively, is there any simple way how to offset or rotate such RGBA outputs if I can't use the Texture Sample's UVs for these actions?

Hi.
I made a nice little custom lit sprite shader with quite a few options.
The default one is standard transparent and I created a duplicate for blending variants where I can customize types of Alpha Blend.

Now, I'd like to somehow merge these two, so that when I update the default shader, it ...
