Hi,
I have been trying to figure it out how to hide emissive source object, its render source, and keep its lightning effect. In my case a simple plane object.
There is something similar in Unity Volumetric Lighting on GitHub, with Area lights and option for render source on/off.
Can anyone help ?
Maybe with some code that can be attached to that object.
You can change the material with (Mobile/)Particles/Additive shader and assign your emissive texture to the main texture. If you need to increase the emissive power, use this slightly modified additive shader instead.
This white plane I want to remove but still have its light effect on the floor.
With your shadow i donāt have white glare effect
Actually a simpler option is to use āFadeā rendering mode of Standard Shader and change the alpha of Albedo color to zero.
well we have the same problem and unfortunately your hint does not work. once the alpha is zero the lightning effect disappears tooā¦
Make sure both the āinvisibleā emissive object and the scene objects to receive object emission are āStaticā. It doesnāt work if either isnāt static. You may also need to adjust the Lightmap Parameters to āDefault-HighResolutionā.
I wonder if having to use a different material type has follow-on effects for other areas. Setting up a decent GI interior scene already takes a lot of steps. Really common in renderers is āinvisible to cameraā, or ārender visibleā or āprimary visibilityā. Pretty common thing to want to do in a GI rendering pipeline.
I think Iāll give this āFadeā type material with Albedo alpha to zero a go though. Thanks.
I found creating an āinvisible layerā putting the emisive object on that and removing the invisible layer from the camera was successful.
