How to have an occlusion material that also receives shadows

[michelepanegrossi]

Hello!

Is it possible to add shadows to the 'PlaneOcclusionShader' shader supplied with ARFoundation? I don't think it receives shadows at present.

I cannot use the AROcclusionManager as the objects I want to use as occluding objects in my AR scene are too far away from the user.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Essentially I need occluding transparent objects that also receive realtime shadows when other objects get near them.

EDIT: I am working in URP on Unity 2021.3.8f.

Many thanks!

1st solution for your issue : you can use Clipping planes setting.

if you want to hide object more then 3 meter then Set far value 3.

For getting shadow on Plane you can modify occlusion shader and that will work.

Thanks @nextechar-hardik!

I don't need to clip objects actually, only make them occlude other objects but thanks for the tip! :)

I was wondering if shadows could be added to the occlusion shader but I have no idea how to do that (in URP as well). If anybody can help I would really appreciate it!
