Alpha Test, Masked and Alpha To Coverage. Fading Shadows!

Post by dom »

Hi,

I want to fade out a shadowcasting mesh, I do this via alpha test to also fade the shadow.
Normally the shadow plops away around the mask value. If I turn on alpha to coverage, only the shadow dissolves in a cool way, the object stays opaque.

Can you help me to get both, object and shadow, dissolving or fading at the same time?

Thanks,

Dom

PS: For your convenience I also made a video of the issue and my setup:

Hey there, I'm linking you to a reply on a thread with a similar question, which should have all the information required:

In short, it's possible this sort of effect in Unity with the workaround that was shared, but not without compromises.

Please let me know if you have any further questions, thanks!
