Cloud Cast
Cloud Cast throws moving cloud shadows over a URP scene. They follow the angle of your main Directional Light and drift with the wind. No clouds are drawn.
The pattern is FBM noise generated in the shader, with coverage and edge softness you can set. A height mask keeps objects above the cloud layer out of the shadow. It needs URP 17 with Render Graph and Depth Texture enabled (no Built-in or HDRP) and was tested on Unity 6.3 (6000.3.16).
Requirements & compatibility
URP 17 with Render Graph and Depth Texture. Tested on Unity 6.3 (6000.3.16). Built-in and HDRP are not supported.
