Hello!
So I'm by no mean a shader coder, but I've been hacking around the last few days trying to get working a shader for Spine sprites in Unity that can properly use normal maps and cast shadows.
The current committed shader for the Unity runtime does lightning decently (albeit with the limitations of vertex lit shaders), but shadow casting is still finicky (in my attempts at least) and Nate hasn't got around enabling normal maps on it.
Before getting into shadows, I've been trying to fix the normal maps issue first cause It's a feature I'm needing more urgently for my game.
I have achieved two results that get me halfway through :/
I've done this tests using the Goblin example included in the Unity runtime
Normal V1:

As you can see, the normal effect looks really cool when moving the light around, however, I'm having that "blending" issue with the Sprites of the character, similar to the one reported in this thread http://www.esotericsoftware.com/forum/v ... 0&start=25
I tried to follow the suggestions given there but unfortunately they are not helping and some of them Nate already implemented, such as the ZSpacing variable in SkeletonComponent.cs. So this is not the cause.
Here's the code for this shader:
Shader "Transparent/Bumped Diffuse with Shadow" {
Properties {
_Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_MainTex ("Base (RGB) Trans (A)", 2D) = "white" {}
_BumpMap ("Normalmap", 2D) = "bump" {}
_Cutoff("Cutoff", Float) = 0.01
}
SubShader {
Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" "IgnoreProjector"="True" "RenderType"="TransparentCutOut" }
LOD 300
CGPROGRAM
#pragma surface surf Lambert alpha vertex:vert addshadow alphatest:_Cutoff
#pragma multi_compile DUMMY PIXELSNAP_ON
sampler2D _MainTex;
sampler2D _BumpMap;
fixed4 _Color;
struct Input {
float2 uv_MainTex;
float2 uv_BumpMap;
fixed4 color;
};
void vert (inout appdata_full v, out Input o)
{
#if defined(PIXELSNAP_ON) && !defined(SHADER_API_FLASH)
v.vertex = UnityPixelSnap (v.vertex);
#endif
v.normal = float3(0,0,-1);
v.tangent = float4(1, 0, 0, 1);
UNITY_INITIALIZE_OUTPUT(Input, o);
o.color = _Color;
}
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
fixed4 c = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex) * _Color;
o.Normal = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_BumpMap, IN.uv_BumpMap));
o.Albedo = c.rgb;
o.Alpha = c.a;
}
ENDCG
}
Fallback "Transparent/Cutout/Diffuse"

This shader I put together with bits and pieces around, and the real intention was to get shadows working on Ortographic rendering through forward lighting. Shadow casting it's possible with this one, although not showed in this particular video. I'll keep you updated on that later.
With this shader there's no blending but, although it can take normals, they are not working as intended with lighting. Something related to how tangent is working on it. The key from the previous shader to solve this seems to be this part:
void vert (inout appdata_full v, out Input o)
{
#if defined(PIXELSNAP_ON) && !defined(SHADER_API_FLASH)
v.vertex = UnityPixelSnap (v.vertex);
#endif
v.normal = float3(0,0,-1);
v.tangent = float4(1, 0, 0, 1);
UNITY_INITIALIZE_OUTPUT(Input, o);
o.color = _Color;
}
But I don't know how to implement it on V2 shader's code, below:
Shader "Spine/Skeleton Lit" {
Properties {
_Cutoff ("Shadow alpha cutoff", Range(0,1)) = 0.1
_Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_SpecColor ("Specular Color", Color) = (0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1)
_Shininess ("Shininess", Range (0.03, 1)) = 0.078125
_MainTex ("Base (RGB) Alpha (A)", 2D) = "white" {}
_BumpMap ("Normalmap", 2D) = "bump" {}
}

}Hopefully somebody can help me further with this and we can get this functioning for all the Unity/Spine users.
