Shadow Problem with Newer Version of Aframe #2

Open franbrennan opened 1 year ago

franbrennan commented 1 year ago

The depth-material shadow cast by a Lottie doesn't work as expected with the latest version of aframe (v 1.3.0).

With aframe 1.2.0 it's perfect - but with 1.3.0 it just casts the 'plane' shape of the Lottie instead of the animated outline.

It looks like threejs require an alpha map, and use the materials info, not the CustomDepthMaterial.

I'm not sure if it's not an overkill, but I can create alphaMaps based on the texture info example here but though it was fun to make, its complicated and heavy.

How about I'd create a "lottie" component or texture, which will manage all: loading, the dynamic nature of the texture (since its animated), and the transparent shadow?
