Problem with transparency and stencil shader
Hi, so I'm making a liquid mesh look like its inside a bottle with a stencil shader and it looks pretty good, but I thought I could make it look better by trying to make the liquid mesh transparent so it blends in better. However, when I try to turn down the alpha in the color sliders it will not change. I also tried messing with zwrite by turning it off, but all that did is make the object dissapear altogether. I am fairly new to working with shaders and coding in general so please forgive me if I'm missing something really obvious.
might you want to change this in the line of the tag:
Tags {“Queue”=“Transparent” “RenderType” =“Transparent”}
ZWrite = Off
EDIT: after ZWrite Off add the Line:
Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and it just made it white and semi transparent (I think?). I still can't mess with the alpha and now the color isn't working.
can you pass me the shader code? so i could have a look?
This is the one used on the bottle
Shader "Custom/bottlefix" {
Properties {
_Color ("Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_$$anonymous$$ainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
_Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
_$$anonymous$$etallic ("$$anonymous$$etallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
}
SubShader
{
Tags
{
"RenderType"="Transparent"
"Queue"="Transparent"
}
Cull Off
Lighting Off
ZWrite Off
Blend Zero One$$anonymous$$inusSrcAlpha
Pass
{
Stencil
{
Ref 6
Comp always
Pass replace
}
Blend Zero One
}
}
}
This one is used on the liquid mesh
Shader "Unlit/StencilFilter"
{
Properties
{
_Color ("$$anonymous$$ain Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
[Enum(Equal,3,NotEqual,6)] _StencilTest ("Stencil Test", int) = 6
}
SubShader
{
Color [_Color]
Stencil{
Ref 1
Comp [_StencilTest]
}
Pass
{
}
}
}
and this is a fix someone gave me so I am also using this shader along with the previous one on the liquid mesh
Shader "Custom/stencilfix" {
Properties {
_Color ("Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_$$anonymous$$ainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
_Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
_$$anonymous$$etallic ("$$anonymous$$etallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
}
SubShader
{
Tags
{
"RenderType"="Transparent"
"Queue"="Transparent+1"
}
Cull Off
Lighting Off
ZWrite Off
Blend One One$$anonymous$$inusSrcAlpha
Pass
{
Stencil
{
Ref 6
Comp equal
ZFail decrWrap
}
}
}
}
Let me know if this is what you're looking for:
Shader "Unlit/StencilFilter"
{
Properties
{
_Color ("$$anonymous$$ain Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
[Enum(Equal,3,NotEqual,6)] _StencilTest ("Stencil Test", int) = 6
}
SubShader
{
Color [_Color]
Stencil{
Ref 1
Comp [_StencilTest]
}
CGPROGRA$$anonymous$$
#pragma surface surf Standard alpha:fade
#pragma target 3.0
sampler2D _$$anonymous$$ainTex;
struct Input {
float2 uv_$$anonymous$$ainTex;
};
fixed4 _Color;
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutputStandard o)
{
fixed4 c = tex2D (_$$anonymous$$ainTex, IN.uv_$$anonymous$$ainTex) * _Color;
o.Albedo = c.rgb;
o.Alpha = c.a;
}
ENDCG
}
}
@Awesomepickle no problem :) would be nice if you could set it as correct answer!
cheers dan
