Hello,

I'm having some weird issues when trying to do vertex offset to move objects. Each objects individual shadows does not follow the object. I've tried two different methods and had a different issue with both.

Method 1:
I found a sample of how to do rotation about an axis and plugged that in. However, when I set the render type or render queue to anything other than opaque/geometry, the shadows no longer follow.

Method 2:
I played around until I could achieve a rotate through another method:

Custom Rotation with Opaque/Geometry and (World Postion - Object Position)

Custom Rotation with Opaque/Geometry and only World Position

It's clear that the shadows are having issues with the (world position - object position) logic but not sure exactly why or how.

Any ideas on how to fix this or a work-around?

Hello, thank you for getting in touch and for your support!

I believe that you'll also need to calculate the normals through the 'Local Vertex Normal' port, please refer to the following sample and let me know if helps:

That example is pretty close to what I pulled from before. It works up until the point that I add transparency and plug in an alpha channel into the opacity or opacity mask port.

It seems the opacity ports aren't 1:1 with the albedo/emission ports.

Can you please share a simple sample with the issue present that we can examine?

Well it seems as though installing the newest Amplify update has solved the problem. xD Cheers!

Thank you for letting us know, apologies for assuming that you were on the latest version!
