X-Ray (or kind of CutOut) Shader With Mouse (using mousecursor position inside shader, compared with worldPos distance)<\/p>\n

Interesting effect.. took a while to get transparency working with 2 sided surface shader,
\nalways had the problem that faces were drawn in wrong order (back side of the box was drawn before front..)
\nSolution was here: http:\/\/answers.unity3d.com\/questions\/209018\/cutout-diffuse-shader-visible-from-both-sides-on-a.html<\/a>
\nbut it lost the smooth alpha transparent (xray), see *image#2<\/p>\n

Ideas:
\n– fake “fluid blob” (double the object, vertex displacement, color transp?)<\/p>\n

With Cull Back, this smooth transparency works, but with Cull Off, transparency breaks the shader..(?)<\/p>\n
