So, we have finally gotten rid of the issue of passing the texture pixels from the previous article. This is the code that iterates through the Alpha of the current pixel’s surrounding 8 offset uvs, finally obtaining the maximum Alpha. The above is the part of the custom post-processing shader. The shader is quite simple.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions.
