Replace the multi-sample silhouette probe with one camera->target raycast: any world geometry in the line of sight arms the cut, a clear line keeps occluders solid. The shader carves a world-space cone (apex at the camera, radius growing toward the target) so the screen-space hole stays a constant size regardless of occluder depth, with a soft radial fade plus a symmetric axial fade around the target so geometry just behind the player feathers out instead of hard-cutting along a plane. Anything well past the target stays solid. Also suppresses the deoccluder pull-in so the camera holds its orbit distance and the cut takes over.

// World-space "hero cutout": clips occluder fragments that lie inside a CONE running from the camera
|
|
// (apex) to the player (target). Everything BETWEEN the camera and the target within the cone is
|
|
// punched see-through; geometry well behind the target stays solid - so a wall the player stands in
|
|
// front of still renders completely normally. The "between vs. behind" split is purely geometric
|
|
// (position along the camera->target axis), not a depth-buffer bias.
|
|
//
|
|
// That far split is FEATHERED on BOTH sides, never a hard plane: the cut fades out smoothly across a
|
|
// band of +/- 'depthFeather' metres AROUND the target. So an occluder that crosses the player's depth
|
|
// (a shelf board or wall running away from the camera) keeps fading just behind the player instead of
|
|
// snapping to solid - no hard straight cut line where a depth plane would slice the surface. Only
|
|
// geometry beyond that band (more than depthFeather behind the target) stays fully solid.
|
|
//
|
|
// Why a cone and not a cylinder: the cone's radius grows linearly with distance from the camera
|
|
// (radius = paramRadius * along/len), so its *screen-space* footprint is constant regardless of how
|
|
// far the occluder sits from the camera. A constant-world-radius cylinder would project bigger near
|
|
// the lens and smaller near the target - a distorted hole. paramRadius is therefore the radius at the
|
|
// target plane (metres); the cone tapers to 0 at the camera apex.
|
|
//
|
|
// Driven every frame by HeroCutout.cs (Shader.SetGlobalVector). These globals live OUTSIDE
|
|
// UnityPerMaterial, so the SRP Batcher is unaffected. When disabled (_HeroCutoutTarget.w < 0.5, also
