    Hi, i am very new to Unity and graphics in general.

    I need to render a model and be able to "slice" it in real time.
    For example i need to see the front 80% of the model (rest should be invisible) and than change it so i can see more or less of the model. And i need to see edge between the visible and the invisible part.

    I already tried something with DepthMasks, but that just makes everthing behind it invisible, so not exactly what i need.

    I thought about editing the mesh in real time, but i dont think that is possible with a complex model.

    Any help is appreciated.

    The term you'll want to search for is "cross section shader".
