    I'm trying to make an alpha clip dither effect as the camera approaches an object using Shader Graph in HDRP, but it seems like its shadows are affected too:







    I'm wondering if there's a way to retain a shadow despite alpha clip being used?

    The effect I want is this (here I'm using built-in pipeline):

    Didn't find anything unfortunately, but haven't looked into for quite a while. Things might have changed with more settings or nodes, not sure.

    The simplest solution would be to just duplicate the object and set the dupe's MeshRenderer to cast shadows only ...
