knotty swallow
hello all, can anyone here help me with a little shader lack-of-knowledge issue? I am applying a mask to a texture based on the distance of an object, sort of like a see-through, the problem is that it only works with a radius based on the center of the object, I am banging my head against the keyboard trying to figure out how apply a mask based on a volume intersection instead 🫠
Here is a screenshot of the node setup I am using, I followed a tutorial for this.

Yeah, the sphere idea is pretty easy to calculate, but if you're looking to dissolve this way using irregular shapes I'm thinking you'll need to send in an SDF/3DTexture of the complex geometry that you want to compare against.
Alternatively you've got depth based stencil shader cutouts

Yea, I settled for making just a longer intersection so it would work for lets say, a long cylinder instead of a sphere but haven't had any luck with that either
