How to update DepthMaterial of Text component

[Endrickmusic]

Hi!

I wrote a custom shader for the Text component and tried to update the MeshDepthMaterial as well, to get the right shadows, but with no success. I've set it up in this Sandbox How can I address the MeshDepthMaterial of Text?

Try using other Meshes, I noticed that some propetries work with some meshes and not others. For example the color={"#something"} only works with meshBasicMaterial and not meshStandardMaterial, when both meshes have the same available property according to the following documents : https://threejs.org/docs/?q=mes#api/en/materials/MeshBasicMaterial. Play around with these docs to see what works and what doesnt.
