Weapon Trails with Cut lines - FILES
Added 2019-07-31 03:28:24 +0000 UTCA pretty simple idea really, but something that I think looks pretty cool - add in a stepped depth fade where a weapon trail meets underlying geometry, to create a temporary 'cut line' as the trail passes through other geometry. The same way you might add a cheap shoreline to a water shader. Works well on weapon-aligned trail renderers and 'swish' meshes.
You can get a reasonably consistent line width by compensating for the view direction - here I've multiply the depth fade by the view direction and normal dot product.
