Dynamic Hole in the Wall help.

Hello,

I've been researching a simple way to do this, and have exhausted my knowledge on coming to an answer.

My problem:

I am wanting to add windows to a wall (a dynamically placed cube, shaped like a wall). I thought maybe some form of shader could do this. To dynamically add a hole, so if needed, they can delete the window, and the wall will still be in tact.

Does anyone have any info, or an example shader I could go off of? or a type of shader?

Thank you.

 

Consider use a dynamic texture represent "window".
Then apply this dynamic texture as alpha map when render wall.
For example:
float3 wallColor = tex2D(_MainTex, uv).rgb;
float wallAlpha = tex2D(_AlphaTex, uv).r;
return float4(wallColor, wallAlpha);

 

Thanks StevenGerrard, i'll give that a go.
