Transparent and Crystal Clear | Writing Unity URP Code Shaders Tutorial [3/9] ✔️ 2021.3
✔️ Tutorial tested in 2020.3 and 2021.3
Have you ever wondered how lighting and shadows work in Unity? Or, do you want to write your own shaders for the Universal Render Pipeline, but without Shader Graph? Either because you need some special feature or just prefer writing code, this tutorial has you covered.
In fact, this is the third part in a series about writing HLSL shaders for URP. In this video, I aim to demystify transparency! I'll showcase how to work with blended and cut out transparency. Along the way, we'll learn about custom inspectors, render queues, culling, shader features, and double sided lighting.
