AlphaClipsafe



Author: Daniel Brauer

Description
These versions of the built-in alpha blended and additive shaders fade out as vertices come within Fade Start Distance from the near clip plane, which needs to be set in the material. The result is a smooth transition to the near clipping plane rather than simply disappearing or being cut off.

Usage
Use for additive or alpha blended particles or convex geometry that are likely to be very close to the camera. Aside from fading when they get close to the camera, they will behave exactly like the built-in shader.
