About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

I’m just learning how a shader works. So, I just copied from the built-in sprite effect file to mine. Now, back to the issue, I think, only “cc_matWorld” is used from #include <builtin/uniforms/cc-local> If I commented both of these lines, there were no error. But, everything stopped working as intended.

I prefer to go this way so that I can have a gradient fade to transparency… the mask component uses the stencil buffer and isn’t set up to use alpha blending and therefore cannot utilize the gradient of alpha values.

Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider alpha testing instead of blending. Do this whenever possible.

If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.
