How to make Transparent/VertexLit shader work fine

Questions & Answers
1

I wanna make my character transparent according user control. so I changed the character shader to Transparent/VertexLit shader. I can set the material’s a color to achieve transparency.
But when I changed to use Transparent/VertexLit instead of Self-Illumin/VertexLit shader. the character was rendered quite abnormal.

the hair seems intersecting with the head.I read the unity script reference. It said it was a sorting problem. But It didn’t tell me how to fix this problem.

so anyone knows about this? :slight_smile: thanks

Have you tried this shader from unity wiki? http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=AlphaVertexLitZ

It should remove the multiply effect from facing polygons overlapping in screen space, which sounds the problem you’re describing.

There is also this (a modification to the above):

Shader "Transparent/VertexLit with Z" {
Properties {
    _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
	_SpecColor ("Spec Color", Color) = (1,1,1,0)
	_Emission ("Emissive Color", Color) = (0,0,0,0)
	_Shininess ("Shininess", Range (0.1, 1)) = 0.7
    _MainTex ("Base (RGB) Trans (A)", 2D) = "white" {}
}
 
	SubShader {
	    Tags {"RenderType"="Transparent" "Queue"="Transparent"}
	    // Render into depth buffer only
	    Pass {
	        ColorMask 0
	    }
	    // Render normally
	    Pass {
	        ZWrite Off
	        Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
	        ColorMask RGB
	        Material {
	            Diffuse [_Color]
	            Ambient [_Color]
				Shininess [_Shininess]
				Specular [_SpecColor]
				Emission [_Emission]
	        }
	        Lighting On
	        SetTexture [_MainTex] {
	            Combine texture * primary DOUBLE, texture * primary
	        } 
	    }
	}
}

Can this shader works with iOS device because still it is not showing the transparency …
