Creating a Super Mario World-like Platform Mask in Unity.
by Fabrizio Espindola
Published |
It’s well known that if you want to create a mask for a platform in your 2D game, you can use ‘Sprite Masks.’ However, this approach assumes that your game’s environment is built with Sprites. But, what if your game is created using 3D Quads? Unfortunately, there are no built-in masking options for 3D objects, so you will need to create a custom shader to achieve this effect.
When creating a mask shader for 3D objects, there are a few considerations. For instance, you will need to use vertex position in world space to ensure that the mask consistently follows the character’s position as needed.
