I just fixed this same issue today mind

[magic drum]

hello

[strong adder]

hello

ok so

there is a tutorial on youtube, which helps with recieving shadows on unlit shaders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQyCPaThQnA

[magic drum]

ah okay ill take a look

thank you

[strong adder]

but if you don't want the headache

of going through the entire thing

ill just send you my material files

and you can slot in your image textures instead

[magic drum]

oh yeah if you wouldnt mind

[strong adder]

and tell you how to set it up

gimme a sec

[magic drum]

alright ty

[strong adder]

try adding this to your project, add the material to your grass object,
and send me ss of the shadergraph, ill tell you where to slot in the stuffs

The basic idea is that
You want to plug in your color / image texture or whatever it is, into this Shadow Catcher Node

before connecting to the Fragment's Base Color

[magic drum]

so put the unlit shadow catcher just before the final image goes into the base colour?

[strong adder]

yup

[magic drum]

alright 1 sec

that has done this

[strong adder]

can you screenshot your shadergraph?

and send here?

[magic drum]

thats all the colour stuff

the rest offscreen is all vertex displacement

[strong adder]

ah umm

can you cross check your graph inspector?

make sure precision is set to single, and the material is unlit

[strong adder]

ok can you open the subshader?

[magic drum]

yeah

[strong adder]

can ss it?

and the node settings for the sub shader?

[strong adder]

hmm

you are using URP?

[magic drum]

yeah i am

[strong adder]

try once with alpha set to 1?

[magic drum]

same thing

[strong adder]

huh..

gimme 1 sec

[magic drum]

okay np

[strong adder]

Can you crosscheck the URP settings?

which you are using?

[strong adder]

try toggling off SSAO?

dang, this is strange

though ssao should not be causing an issue..

[magic drum]

yeah i tried that didnt change anything

it just disabled the ssao

[strong adder]

dang

maybe there is some thing specific about my implementation then..

[strong adder]

have a look through this, he covers it more in depth

[magic drum]

Yeah it is very strange

I'll watch the tutorial

Thank you very much for the help though

[strong adder]

my implementation worked off this video

dang dude, sorry I couldn't help much

Hope you figure out though

[magic drum]

Nah dw about it thank you

[magic drum]

i ended up using a different answer after some obscure google searching, i just forced the normals to be facing upwards

and now it works

in a lit shader

[strong adder]

oh dang.

glad it worked out for ya

:D

[magic drum]

thanks for the help

much appreciated

[strong adder]

i'll keep this fix in mind too if I ever need it in the future
