Option to disable softening completely

[BenWoodford]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The below happens when using a hard-edged mask (Unity's own mask doesn't support overlapping masks where it only masks the children, so having two images "splitscreen" style diagonally isn't terribly easy)

The masks for context

Even at 0.01 softness it gives a soft-edged look.

Describe the solution you'd like The option to completely disable softening and just utilise the other features of the component (like the better hierarchical masking)

@BenWoodford Try increasing the texture resolution of the SpellMask-***.

They were 1024x1024 so already pretty big. However more curiously, as had switched back to using Mask and only masking one half of the square (and toggling it as necessary)... when I switched back to the soft mask it suddenly isn't working and the buffer shows nothing in it. That's weird...

I would like to know more about this issue.
 Could you please attach a minimal project (included Assets and ProjectSettings directory) that reproduces the issue?

If you want a hard edge, Unity Default Masks are the easiest option:

NOTE: Set the Filter Mode to Pointer (no filter) in the import settings of mask textures.

I’ll see what I can do but as it occurred randomly I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to recreate it in a stand-alone project. Using Unity masks isn’t really viable in all scenarios as Unity doesn’t obey hierarchies for masks - two siblings will act as one mask I’ve found. Whereas your system does obey the hierarchy and only mask children

Sorry for late reply. It seems desirable to support Softness=0.
