Resolved Transparency issue with Shadergraph

Hi, I just started trying out shadergraph, amazing tool really!

I ran into an issue when using a transparent material, don't really know how to explain it - basically the material show all hidden faces of the same object? I did not have this issue with the same model and texture when using a standard shader with Cutout rendering mode. What am I missing?

 

Figured it out, I had set the PBR master's surface to Transparent, when all I needed to do was to add a slider to the AlphaClipProperty. Setting the PBR master's surface back to Opaque solved it.

 

Hello. doing like that we got a problem were we cannot fade the transparency but only make it total or none.

 

Hi!I have exactly the same issues. I need semi-transparent material with a texture. When I switch PBR material to transparent it works really weirdly. Basically what should be underneath is shown on top. Anybody know how to solve this problem?

 

Transparent gives you possiblity to use real transpecy from 0 to 1, but it has render sorting problems, sometims it works and other time its pain. In some situations render queue in material can help, but basic problem is about soring and not writing to depth. Opaque with alpha cutoff (cliping) has no such problems, but allows only full opaque or full transparent pixels.
I am not expert, but as I know there is no "good" solution to transparent materials.

 

Is there a way to fix this?
Have some similar issues - opaque can only be 0 or 1

With transparent, the sorting has some problems



As you can see, it does not sort with tilemap or sprite floor properly, so it renders "over it" even when it should be below the ground.

The left one using a 3d object produces the correct result.

 

Anyone solve this? I guess a temp fix is just switching materials after i fade it in... might loook weird though from the angle that depth sorting fails..

 

It's 2021 and I still don't know a great solution for ordering transparent materials!

 

you have to turn zwrite on in the shader. then it will occlude faces within itself.

 

Is this something I can turn on in the shader node? I can't seem to find anything, the only workaround I can find is to add a second material that's from the Un Lit Pipeline. But this isn't a solution for me, as my GameObjects "Dissolve" away I can't have a material underneath because the "Dissolving" effect wouldn't be transparent. Also removing the material before I "Dissolve" wouldn't work either because then the objects will not occlude properly... Really annoying issue since I have multiple GameObjects placed in worldspace against each other. How tf is anyone making Transparent shaders without this becoming a massive issue. Seems to be largely overlooked!

What I would like to achieve:

No, see my post here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/zwrite-in-shader-graph.719012/#post-7224466

 

Maybe if you had time you could make a proper tutorial on this right quick. I followed your instructions but I'm missing something. When reimporting the new shader code to the URP Lit its just pink, with no option to edit the shader what did I miss?

 

Was having this issue but read that in 2021.2 that they added some features to solve this. Upgraded then went into my shader graphs settings and switched "Depth Write" to "Force Enabled" and it fixed all my transparent texture issues. There are a bunch of other new settings as well, see attached image.
