Hi, I will check out this guide, although I wanted to clarify segmented dimmer is not set for my application.

Also, I came across a similar post where you mentioned you have a URP shader that could possibly resolve the issue (for occlusion and shadows I believe) :

> Hi @javier I have some bad news for you, Firstly, It appears that Unity's built in renderer does not support catching shadows on transparent objects. The shaders that catch shadows render opaque with a transparent blendmode, but they still use the opaque render pass. This results in Magic Leap 2 capture to render the occluder incorrectly. In summary, rendering shadows on occluder meshes is not possible when using Unity's built in render pipeline. I have reported your use case and this issue t…

Could you please provide me the mentioned shader?
