## Description
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Features
|
|

|
|
|
|
This package is available on [OpenUPM](https://openupm.com).
|
|
You can install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli).
|

openupm add com.coffee.softmask-for-ugui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Using Git (for Unity 2018.3 or later)
|
|
|
|
Find the manifest.json file in the Packages folder of your project and edit it to look like this:
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"com.coffee.softmask-for-ugui": "https://github.com/mob-sakai/SoftMaskForUGUI.git",
|
|
...
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To update the package, change suffix `#{version}` to the target version.
|
|
|
|
* e.g. `"com.coffee.softmask-for-ugui": "https://github.com/mob-sakai/SoftMaskForUGUI.git#1.0.0",`
|
|
|
|
Or, use [UpmGitExtension](https://github.com/mob-sakai/UpmGitExtension) to install and update the package.
|
|
|
|
#### For Unity 2018.2 or earlier

|
1. Download a source code zip file from [Releases](https://github.com/mob-sakai/SoftMaskForUGUI/releases) page
|
|
2. Extract it
|
|
3. Import it into the following directory in your Unity project
|

|
|
|
|
2. Add a SoftMaskable components to the child UI elements of the SoftMask component.
|
|
|
|
Or, add a SoftMaskable components from the inspector of the SoftMask component.

## Support soft masks with your custom shaders
|
|
|
|
Only a few steps are needed to support soft mask in your custom shaders!
|
|
|
|
1. Duplicate your shader file and add the ` (SoftMaskable)` suffix to the file name.
|
|
```
|
|
Your_Custom_Shader.shader
|
|
-> Your_Custom_Shader (SoftMaskable).shader
|
|
```
|
|
1. Modify the shader name (defined at the beginning of the shader file) as follows:
|
|
- Add `Hidden/` prefix
|
|
- Add ` (SoftMaskable)` suffix
|
|
```
|
|
Shader "UI/Your_Custom_Shader"
|
|
-> Shader "Hidden/UI/Your_Custom_Shader (SoftMaskable)"
|
|
```
|
|
1. Add `#pragma` and `#include` directives, where `SOFTMASK_EDITOR` is an editor-only keyword and is not included in the build.
|
|
If you didn't use package manager to install, include `SoftMask.cginc` in the appropriate path instead.
|
|
```
|
|
#include "Packages/com.coffee.softmask-for-ugui/Shaders/SoftMask.cginc"
|
|
#pragma shader_feature __ SOFTMASK_EDITOR
|
|
```
|
|
2. Apply a soft mask in the fragment shader.
|
|
This operation determines the final alpha according to the soft mask buffer.
|
|
- `IN.vertex`: the clip position
|
|
- `IN.worldPosition`: the world position
|
|
```
|
|
color.a *= SoftMask(IN.vertex, IN.worldPosition);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As an example of implementation, please see [UI-Default-SoftMask.shader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mob-sakai/SoftMaskForUGUI/upm/Shaders/Resources/UI-Default-SoftMask.shader).
