Multiply Mode uses strange Alpha
(Link to code: http://pastebin.com/P1WxYquh)
Hey Everyone -
I'm writing my own multi-pass shader for handling several effects at once. This is for a sprite-based game.
This shader has three textures: one for the base colors, one for highlights (using additive mode), and one for interior shadows (using multiply mode). It also has four other settings: an overall opacity (slider), main Tint color, highlight color, and shadow color (all RGBA). These colors have an alpha value to give direct control over the intensity of the highlights and shadows.
Here's how it appears in Unity's GUI: http://grab.by/aEGc
Everything works great, except for the multiply mode when I use "Blend Zero SrcColor."
Here's an image showing the results with various settings (yes, that's Saki from Arcana Heart, which I'm only using for test purposes): http://imm.io/7Mmh
1 - Opacity set to 0, Tint Highlight and Shadow set to Alpha 0.
2 - Same as #1, Opacity set to 1.0
3 - Same as #1, Highlight set to Alpha 1.0 (you can see the alpha in the actual texture map coming through)
4 - Same as #1, Shadow set to Alpha 1.0, using standard blending ("Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha")
5 - Same as #1, Shadow set to Alpha 1.0, using multiply blending ("Blend Zero SrcColor")
As you can see, the alpha on the multiply texture becomes fragmented when I use Blend Zero SrcColor, oddly enough. Any ideas on how I can handle this issue?
Thanks for your time and insight!
Did it!
