Hide the Foreground! Advanced Masking Techniques in Unreal

Let's talk about how to dither away materials in Unreal, so you can walk behind and around them. This covers how to fix your shadows, always show the floor, resist camera zooming, and so on.

"How far from the camera to the pixel" There's a node for that, change the World Position shader offset to Camera Relative World Position. You'll still need the length node, but it will save you 3 nodes and look cleaner.

Sounds cleaner!

Hi Craig, do you do paid consultation for Unreal?

[@CraigPerko]

Not a chance! But there's plenty of people that do, so don't feel discouraged.
