How can I add alpha-channel to this shader?
Hello,
I have this shader that does not support alpha map. How can I modify it so I can adjust the alpha channel so as to be transparent?
Thanks!
Shader "-smn-/GlowingBorder" {
Properties {
_ColorTint("ColorTint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_MainTex("Main Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
_BumpMap("Normal Map", 2D) = "bump" {}
_RimColorOuter("Rim Color Outer", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_RimColorInner("Rim Color Inner", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_RimPowerOuter("Rim Power Outer", Range(0.0, 7.0)) = 3.0
_RimPowerInner("Rim Power Inner", Range(0.0, 20.0)) = 3.0
}
SubShader {
Tags { "RenderType" = "Opaque" }
CGPROGRAM
#pragma surface surf Lambert
struct Input {
float4 color : COLOR;
float2 uv_MainTex;
float2 uv_BumpMap;
float3 viewDir;
};
float4 _ColorTint;
sampler2D _MainTex;
sampler2D _BumpMap;
float4 _RimColorOuter;
float4 _RimColorInner;
float _RimPowerOuter;
float _RimPowerInner;
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
IN.color = _ColorTint;
o.Albedo = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex).rgb * IN.color;
o.Normal = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_BumpMap, IN.uv_BumpMap));
half rimOuter = 1.0 -saturate(dot(normalize(IN.viewDir), o.Normal));
half rimInner = saturate(dot(normalize(IN.viewDir), o.Normal));
o.Emission = (_RimColorOuter.rgb * pow(rimOuter, _RimPowerOuter)) + (_RimColorInner.rgb * pow(rimInner, _RimPowerInner)) ;
}
ENDCG
}
FallBack "Diffuse"
}
Three steps:
Add objects rendered with this shader to the Transparent queue by adding "Queue"="Transparent" to the subshader's Tags list.
Add "alpha" to the surface function declaration, after the lighting function declaration, so the line becomes "#pragma surface surf Lambert alpha"
Actually set the alpha to something in the surface function, i.e. set o.Alpha = whatever you want.
I have done these modifications and used the _ColorTint's alpha channel in the example. Then the shader becomes this:
Shader "-smn-/GlowingBorder" {
Properties {
_ColorTint("ColorTint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_MainTex("Main Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
_BumpMap("Normal Map", 2D) = "bump" {}
_RimColorOuter("Rim Color Outer", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_RimColorInner("Rim Color Inner", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_RimPowerOuter("Rim Power Outer", Range(0.0, 7.0)) = 3.0
_RimPowerInner("Rim Power Inner", Range(0.0, 20.0)) = 3.0
}
SubShader {
Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" "RenderType" = "Opaque" }
CGPROGRAM
#pragma surface surf Lambert alpha
struct Input {
float4 color : COLOR;
float2 uv_MainTex;
float2 uv_BumpMap;
float3 viewDir;
};
float4 _ColorTint;
sampler2D _MainTex;
sampler2D _BumpMap;
float4 _RimColorOuter;
float4 _RimColorInner;
float _RimPowerOuter;
float _RimPowerInner;
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
IN.color = _ColorTint;
o.Albedo = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex).rgb * IN.color;
o.Normal = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_BumpMap, IN.uv_BumpMap));
o.Alpha = _ColorTint.a; // For example. Could also be the alpha channel on the interpolated vertex color (IN.color.a), or the one from the texture.
half rimOuter = 1.0 -saturate(dot(normalize(IN.viewDir), o.Normal));
half rimInner = saturate(dot(normalize(IN.viewDir), o.Normal));
o.Emission = (_RimColorOuter.rgb * pow(rimOuter, _RimPowerOuter)) + (_RimColorInner.rgb * pow(rimInner, _RimPowerInner)) ;
}
ENDCG
}
FallBack "Diffuse"
}
Thanks!
Do I make similar steps to make it self-illu$$anonymous$$ too? (Not be affected by light actually)
If it shouldn't be affected by light at all, there are a great deal of unnecessary computations in that shader. For this reason, it would undergo heavy modification to excempt it from being lit at all. For example, you would remove the bump map, since that texture contains surface normals, the purpose of which is to interact with lighting.
Please see this question for an example of a surface shader that disables lighting, but note in particular the point about writing old-school vertex/fragment shaders, if you want the most efficient option for an unlit shader. :) Surface shaders are really mostly about plugging into Unity's built-in lighting engine, so for an unlit shader, the multiple passes they compile into are overkill.
The normal maps are there to have the rim light effect on different parts of the texture. It is not needed for the light bumps it is supposed to create!
about week now trying to add some alpha to this shade any idea
Shader "Custom/Stancel Object" {
Properties {
_Color ("Color", Color) = (1,1,1,0)
_MainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
_Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
_Metallic ("Metallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
}
SubShader {
Tags{ "RenderType" = "Transparent" "Queue" = "Transparent" }
LOD 200
Stencil{
Ref 1
Comp NotEqual
}
CGPROGRAM
// Physically based Standard lighting model, and enable shadows on all light types
#pragma surface surf Standard fullforwardshadows
#pragma surface surf Lambert alpha
// Use shader model 3.0 target, to get nicer looking lighting
#pragma target 3.0
sampler2D _MainTex;
struct Input {
float2 uv_MainTex;
};
half _Glossiness;
half _Metallic;
fixed4 _Color;
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutputStandard o) {
// Albedo comes from a texture tinted by color
fixed4 c = tex2D (_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex) * _Color;
o.Albedo = c.rgb;
// Metallic and smoothness come from slider variables
o.Metallic = _Metallic;
o.Smoothness = _Glossiness;
o.Alpha = c.a ;
}
ENDCG
}
FallBack "Diffuse"
}
I've been trying to add alpha to the exact shader. Were you able to get it to work?
