Transparent shadow receiver (Patreon)
Content
Surprisingly, Unity's built-in render pipeline (the one we're using) does not support transparent objects receiving shadows. This is a major problem, since it essentially means any transparent, indoor object would be lit as if outside, even when it's inside. Clearly, that is not a good thing!
This is a problem that goes way back, and has always caused headaches. However, now when we're implementing clothing, we knew we had to solve this problem, since we want users to be able to create transparent garments (ones that are properly lit indoors!).

Here you can see how it compares to Unity's default behavior:

All the best.
