    Hello,

    I was following this video tutorial from Brackeys to reproduce the intersection effect where the gradient fades the borders of the sphere:


    Instead, I don't see the gradient alpha which should be fading out the sphere from the intersection to its center. I only get an opaque border rather than gradient:

    Perhaps I did something wrong but I think I carefully followed the tutorial step-by-step but with the same result at the end.
    My goal is to make a foam effect on a water surface afterward...
    Thank you.

    Are you sure that the material type is set to transparent?
    This looks líke the cutoff when its set to opaque.

    Hum I changed also AlphaClipThreshold to 0, but still the same... I am wondering if URP is set correctly...

    I started from an empty project, then reproduced the field shader, then saved the graph which I copied inot my previous project...it works.
    Investigating my first shader test-project, I noticed some warnings & errors in the console:
    1 Error:
