sampling shadowmap without comparison on d3d11

gistfile1.txt

// Problem is that by default SamplerComparisonState sampler is coupled with the shadowmap.
// So if you want to sample it regularly, you'll have to find a suitable sampler from another used texture.
// For example, let's say _MainTex has a suitable sampler (set to bilinear, whatever).

UNITY_DECLARE_TEX2D(_MainTex); // will declare Texture2D _MainTex and SamplerState sampler_MainTex

UNITY_DECLARE_SHADOWMAP(_Myshadow); // will declare Texture2D _Myshadow and SamplerComparisonState sampler_Myshadow

// sample as a shadowmap with comparison (all platforms)
float s = UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW_PROJ(_Myshadow, float4(xy,depth,1.0));


// sample depth value without comparison
#ifdef SHADER_API_D3D11
  float z = _Myshadow.Sample (sampler_MainTex, xy); // use sampler from _MainTex
#else
  // well, something else on other platforms
#endif
