Remove Black Color with Shaders

The art of making black disappear is being explored through shaders, sparking a lively discussion on the most effective approaches. Some commenters, like Barathkanna, praise the shader trick for simplifying asset management, while others, such as Zekio, suggest using transparent colors instead of black, prompting mcherm to clarify that black is needed to cover underlying shapes. The conversation also veers into alternative methods, including SVG filters, as proposed by dleeftink, and creating meshes, as suggested by ImHereToVote, with some, like woolion, noting potential aliasing issues with the shader approach. As the debate unfolds, it becomes clear that the quest for a seamless, high-quality rendering solution is driving the conversation.
