See-through Bullet Holes

there is a damn good answer on the forums, about making a shader that can make transparent "xray" areas. I can't find it, sorry ...

yes, you can edit the texture at runtime, that's what i've done. and decals or projectors as such won't help.

I think a cut-out shader will work. I just need to modify the pixels of the cut-out shader in a way that makes sense to where the bullet hit. That's going to be tricky.

Storm, normally a cut-out shader would give you a repeating pattern. as far as I know that would perhaps be a dead-end

This is infuriating, because, the question was discussed extensively here, and indeed there is a huge forum.unity entry about it, where someone built an amazing solution.

If you could simply find that page, your job would be finished...

I am damned if I can search it up, very frustrating !!!

I am going to have another look

You're right, the cutout shader might not be a viable option here.

it's driving me nuts I can't find the LONG LONG answer on this site that TOTALLY diuscusses the issue in great detail, and I can't find the long long answer on FORU$$anonymous$$S that has a total and complete working solution to what you want to do.

sucks !
