Trying to smooth out a RegionRect Tween, not sure where to begin

Question

I’m currently using a RegionRect tween to gradually reveal a Sprite2D. It works well enough as a placeholder, but I’d prefer a gradient reveal over the sort of hard-edged effect I’m getting now. I am just not sure where to begin. I don’t know much about shaders.. do I need a shader here? Or is there some easier method that I should be looking into? Thank you!

I think a shader is probably the easiest way to do that. I don’t have much experience with using shaders, but this Universal Transition Shader might help. It has the following transitions:

  • Directional Wipes: (left, right, top, bottom, diagonal)
  • Clock Wipes: (radial, with multi-sector support)
  • Iris/Shape Reveals: (polygon-based transitions with any number of sides)
  • Dissolves
  • Fades
  • Slides
  • Combinations & Variations

There’s a tutorial on that page and a detailed documentation on the github repo so just follow it and see if it works!

Yeessssss, this is gonna work great, thank you!

If anyone arrives here with the same problem, the UTS calls this feature ‘basic feathering’.
