Mirror/Camera Visibility

The Mirror/Cmaera Visibility section is a very simple section that controls whether the shader should appear in VRChat Mirrors or not.

This can be used for very niche effects, such as if you want only a specific texture or effect to only show when the shader is being viewed from a Mirror, or from a Camera.

Mode​

  • Type: Dropdown, Options: VRC/Generic

Sets the behavioral mode for the Mirror and Camera visibility.

  • VRC: Changes settings that cater to VRChat-specific functionality.
  • Generic: Changes settings that are for general usages, with limited options available.
