By 2026, the gaming industry is expected to reach $321 billion , with real-time rendering and AI-driven game art playing a pivotal role in its growth. What was once a domain dominated by pre-rendered graphics and traditional artistry has now shifted toward real-time rendering, highly stylized visuals, and experimental aesthetics.

Good evening, I just finished writing my own custom shader to create 2D shadows on sprites, but I can’t find a way to increase the render area of ​​the sprite. The problem is that the shader does not render outside these limits, even though the original area was 450x450. Is there a way to increase the render bounds?
