Transparent Shadows? (Like in Built-in)

Hi,

Is it possible to achieve shadows from semi-transparent objects like in a Built-in pipeline? It could be useful to mimic the clouds shadows (just put one big plane with transparent noise texture above).

In built-in, it works perfectly as expected, but in HDRP it generates the shadow from the whole mesh plane.

 

Unfortunately, HDRP doesn't support transparent shadows(it does support alpha cut off though), it's only supported when using raytraced shadows.

For cloud shadows, you could use dynamic light cookies for the directional light (which does support the look you are going for and in a much more performant way than what you would have done using that transparent mesh), similar to what unity uses in the cloud component in the latest HDRP 12
