Hey folks,
is there a shader for unity out there which supports the following:
Color: Defined by a Texture
Transparency: Alpha Channel of the Texture Map is used
Reflexion: A greyscale map defines where my material is reflective and where it is not
i think in 3dsmax for example its an easy task but in unity i couldn’t find something like this.
You can use the built-in reflective shaders for this. Keep in mind that it is far more efficient if you can pre-render your reflection cube map, because doing it in real time requires six cameras in addition to any others you might already have.
but where in the built-in reflective shader can i use an opacity/transparency map ?
just look in the standard diffuse reflection shader code, and change wherever it says ‘opaque’ to ‘transparent’, and save that as a separate shader.
My mistake. You should do what Fishman suggests, but you’ll want to change the shader so that the alpha is assigned from _MainTex.a instead of the reflection.
Hi sasquotschi,
If you don’t feel like writing your own shaders to do the Diffuse, Transparency Masked Reflection you can try this link its free.
cheers
