Haze on tree, bush and facade impostors - #16

Conversation
Impostors used a plain unlit material, so distant trees and facades kept full contrast while everything around them faded into the haze. They now use an unlit surface shader (impostorSurface) with the same haze as the rest of the scenery. The cut-out is a discard below the mask threshold in an opaque material: a transparent CustomMaterial with an opacity threshold drew without depth, and farther trees covered nearer bushes. Tracks without haze keep the old UnlitMaterial. README: haze lives in the scenery shaders, not in post-processing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Impostors (trees, bushes, building facades) used a plain unlit material, so they kept full contrast while the ground, walls and buildings around them faded into the haze.
impostorSurface(Ground.metal) mixes the photo with the haze colour by distance, like the other scenery shaders.discard_fragment()below the mask threshold in an opaque material. A transparentCustomMaterialwithopacityThresholddrew without depth: farther trees covered nearer bushes (caught on a fixed-frame comparison, forest side camera).-noHaze) keep the oldUnlitMaterial.Testing (simulator, iPad M5, iOS 27)
-haze 0.99,20: trees, bushes and facades fog together with walls and road (forest, city, snow).-haze 0.001,20vs-noHaze: same tree colour close up; foliage slightly denser (hard mask edge instead of blended).tools/scenery-shots.sh, all five regions with normal haze: look correct, frame time unchanged (simulator capped at 60 fps).GameplayUITests: 7/7 passed.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
