Question by Luka2811 · Dec 08, 2014 at 06:46 PM · shadercull

Shader Culling Off and lighting on the back side of the mesh

Hello,

I've been trying some solutions for making a mesh render as double sided instead of one-sided, and I've found that setting Culling to Off, it indeed does render two sided.

The effect I'm trying to achieve is have the Light affect the the outer face (Cull Front), but I'd want the other side to be unaffected by Light (Cull Back, which was previously invisible with Cull On). For example, I have a robe a character is wearing, the outer side of it should be affected by light, the inner side should remain dark (unaffected). Currently it's lit up as well. Is there a way to achieve this? I'm using the Unity's built in shader Transparent > Cutout > Bumped Specular

How is your robe setup, is it a "Cloth" ?

It isn't, it's a simple static mesh on which I apply the material

In that case rather than use a single mesh with a Cull Off shader do this :

1) Duplicate your Robe mesh in your 3D package.

2) Invert the normals of the faces on the Duplicate.

3) Save this. Now in Unity : Use a Material with a lit shader(like the one you have at the moment but with Cull On) on the outer Robe mesh object.

4) Use an Material with an Unlit shader, or a shader with the Main_Texture color set to very dark, on the Inner Robe Mesh object.

Hopefully this will give you the look you want.
