Learn how you can easily fade out objects that are using the standard URP shaders that obstruct view to the player using C# code!
In this tutorial you'll see how to determine which material properties to adjust for the standard URP shaders:
⚫ Universal Render Pipeline/Lit
⚫ Universal Render Pipeline/Complex Lit
⚫ Universal Render Pipeline/Simple Lit
⚫ Universal Render Pipeline/Unlit
⚫ Universal Render Pipeline/Baked Lit
as well as learn the process to determine which properties to modify for any other shader when documentation is lacking!
In my tests this performs on average, 0.04ms per frame with the code here, which is, in my opinion, for most cases "good enough" performance to use when you do not know how to make a shader to do this, or just want to keep using the standard URP shaders.
