Achieving view-angle-based fading involves calculating the relationship between your surface’s normal vector and the camera’s view direction. This indicates how directly a face is oriented towards the camera. Faces that are nearly perpendicular to the camera’s view will have a Dot Product closer to zero, while faces directly facing the camera will have a Dot Product closer to one.

To implement this in your shader graph:

1. Create a Normal Vector node and set its Space property to World.
2. Create a View Direction node and set its Space property to World.
3. Feed both outputs into a Dot Product node.
4. Connect the result to a Saturate node to clamp values between 0 and 1.
5. Link the output to the Alpha input on the Fragment stack of your master node.

Additional Tips:

• Apply a Power node to the Dot Product output to control the steepness of the fading effect.
• Ensure the material’s Surface Type is set to Transparent or that Alpha Clipping is enabled in the Graph Settings for the effect to manifest.
• Using the One Minus node can invert the Dot Product behavior to target faces pointing directly at the camera instead.
• For foliage, multiply the Dot Product result by a Vertex Color or Texture2D alpha to maintain existing detail.
