Question
I have this 3d pixelart shader(the shader is on a quad in front of the camera) that has this weird side effect where the platform the model is on is partially turned dark only when the shadows(the dark lines around the model) are turned on in the shader but when I turn off the shadows it goes away. How do i fix this?
