Transparent Cutout Shader Family

Note. Unity 5 introduced the Standard Shader which replaces these shaders.

The Transparent Cutout shaders are used for objects that have fully opaque and fully transparent parts (no partial transparency). Things like chain fences, trees, grass, etc.

Transparent Cutout Vertex-Lit

Transparent Cutout Specular

shader-TransCutSpecular

Assets needed:

  • One Base texture with alpha channel for combined Transparency Map/Specular Map

Note: One limitation of this shader is that the Base texture’s alpha channel doubles as a Specular Map for the Specular shaders in this family.
