Question by komodor · Dec 03, 2013 at 09:34 AM · meshtransparencyverticesmasksoft

mask one gameObject mesh by another mesh vertex transparency

in flash there is very simple possibility to mask one movieClip by another with trasparency

while in unity you can mask by depth mask http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=DepthMask

or stencil buffer without transparency

or you can mask by shaders, but we need animation in the masker

also i know about masking by texture rendered by camera, but that's too heavy for mobiles

is there any way to acomplish masking of one quad (or sprite or whatever else you can put texture on) by generated mesh based on transparency of vertices on the masker mesh?

edit: no answer? is nobody interested in 2d masking by dynamic mask with transparency? or it isn't possible? still nobody? (sry for updating this question but i believe it's feature every 2d-game developer needs)

You can do this by setting the render queue as explained in the depthmask page,

Conditions:

  • materials on the mask and masked mesh are the same

  • the masked meshes have there renenders.materials[i].renderQueue set > 3000

  • for me in unity 5 b9 the game has to be running to see the effect of the mask,(might be specific to my code)
