Question by camtronius · Nov 21, 2015 at 11:34 PM · shadershadersshader programmingshader writingunlit

Shader Darkening the UI sprite behind it!

My shader is a 2d refraction shader applied to a sphere particle object, but for some reason it makes the sprite from the UI dark behind it. I want my shader to ignore all lighting or just be completely transparent and only magnify whats behind it. Please help!

here is an img of the issue, notice how the circles are dark. i want them completely transparent http://imgur.com/bmrqA9s

 Shader "MyShaders/UnlitTest" {
     Properties {
  _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
         _SpecColor ("Specular Color", Color) = (0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1)
         _Shininess ("Shininess", Range (0.03, 1)) = 0.3
         _MainTex ("Base (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
         _BumpMap ("Normalmap", 2D) = "bump" {}
         _DistAmt  ("Distortion", range (0,128)) = 10
     }
     SubShader {
         GrabPass { }

         }
 
         void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
             half3 nor = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_BumpMap, IN.uv_BumpMap));
            
             float2 offset = nor * _DistAmt * _GrabTexture_TexelSize.xy;

Don't use a surface shader but a vertex + fragment shader if you want to ignore all lights. (Assets/Create/Shader/UnlitShader)

Or a dirty workaround might be to add:

 o.Emission = o.Albedo;

(After you set o.Albedo)
