Transparent Cutout Shader Family

Note. Unity 5 introduced the Standard Shader which replaces these shadersA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary.

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

Assets needed:

• One Base texture with alpha channel for Transparency Map

Transparent Cutout Diffuse

Assets needed:

• One Base texture with alpha channel for Transparency Map

» More details

Transparent Cutout Specular

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.

Transparent Cutout Bumped

Assets needed:

• One Base texture with alpha channel for Transparency Map
• One Normal mapA type of Bump Map texture that allows you to add surface detail such as bumps, grooves, and scratches to a model which catch the light as if they are represented by real geometry.
  See in Glossary normal map, no alpha channel required

Transparent Cutout Bumped Specular

Assets needed:

• One Base texture with alpha channel for combined Transparency Map/Specular Map
• One Normal map normal map, no alpha channel required

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.
