Basics of Shader Graph - Unity Tutorial

[@FloppyDobbys]

If you are just looking at this now, The Light Weight Render Pipeline has been renamed to Universal Render Pipeline. The LWRP has evolved into the Universal RP. This is in contrast to High Definition Render Pipeline, which the Universal RP does not replace.

[@NoahJohnson1810]

Thank you

[@funny3291]

Thanks for the heads up

[@alexandremeynard6153]

i love you thanks

[@michaelsander2878]

I added Universal RP to my project, but I don't see the ability to create a shader, is there something I'm missing?

[@michaelsander2878]

I'm an idiot. I was right clicking in hierarchy instead of project. I didn't realize it matters. Sorry everyone. Please learn from my mistake.

[@mcminer7361]

Yesss more videos about shadeers I loved it!

[@NireTheBest]

This new feature works only with lwrp and hdrp. Both are unfinished, lwrp that was created as a optimized mobile render pipeline, but has worster optimization in mobile game, as old Unity rp. So sad :(

[@wizardyt776]

Man you look weird in your pic I hope it is not you

[@TailedCarpet]

I think a quick overview of most useful/interesting nodes would be great

This is a game changer, please make more videos on this.

[@IndieMarkus]

Please do more tutorials with this! This is awesome! I'd like to see how these shaders can be parametrized through code (maybe some dissolving animation style shader with a percentage value on how much should be dissolved?)

[@Mr.Adhesive]

IndieMarkus Using some information gathered from playing with "manual" shaders, all you need to do is have a parameter (like a percentage value as you suggested), then using getcompenent().material.your_parameter to access and change it.

[@bartwestenenk6088]

Sharedmaterial instead of material, Else the mat as a whole Will be changed

[@IndieMarkus]

Thank's for the information! That seems really usable for me! I was planning on using this shader for desintegrating parts of an object that were hit with a bullet. I know a bit about shaders and OpenGl and stuff, but I'm not really used to using them in Unity yet.

[@MicMan2710]

[@TheARTY50]

Okay so im following along to this tutorial on an existing project of mine. i have a terrain and character. But im stuck and i need some help 1) this tutorial is abit old now, so i had to download URP as "render pipeline lightweight" doesnt exist anymore 2)PBR shader is gone, found out im to add Lit Shader Graph. 3)lit shader graph preview is pink. Found out i had to create a new URP Asset and drag and drop it to my Preferences>Graphics render pipeline 4)fixed material preview issue, except now EVERYTHING ELSE in my existing scene is pink. I have a mixture of toon shaders, tree materials and standard materials and reverting some materials to standard just doesnt work, it makes things worse 5)???

[@kalibcrone6963]

There appears to be a Unity bug currently disallowing users to see the preview correctly in some versions of 2019. One solution is to use HDPR > Lit shader instead of PBR. This allowed me to view the preview of the shader as it is shown in this video. Hope that helps!

[@morty1979]

they renamed it. Now it calls LightweightRP

The moment I saw the release video, i thought "Brakeys needs to do a video on shader graphs". Still learning basic scripting, but this is going top in my priority list.

Still useful in 2023, I needed just to know some basic stuff, I tried using shader graph and I was impressed how easy it is to make good looking shaders.

[@darkstar9942]

[@hydraxdomin8009]

more on shader graphs please, this feature is gonna save me so much time

[@hefhef54321]

I have a problem and I wonder if someone can help me with it. Whenever I create a new shader, there is no material (it just shows this bright pink color on the material) in the master node. I can add as many nodes as I want but the result will always have no material thanks Edit: read the comments below to see the solution

[@charps]

I am the same

[@hefhef54321]

Actually, I solved it. My problem was solved by doing the following (may or may not work for you): -Go to Edit>Project settings>Graphics -Check the "Scriptable render pipeline settings". If it doesn't have a "Lightweight asset" template, change it to that. -If you don't have a "Lightweight asset" template, create one by right-click>create>Rendering>Lightweight asset. Then assign that to your graphics settings. Note that changing the rendering template will cause all standard shaders to not render properly, which means that you'll have to rely on lightweight shaders only from there on. I hope this helps

[@charps]

when you say how to create the Light Weight asset what do you right click?

[@charps]

where is it I do right click in the hiracy>create> and then I can't find anything under the name Rendering

[@hefhef54321]

Any empty space in the assets folder. Same way you would create a material or even a c# script

[@TheNeoChannelMc]

You don't need to start a Lightweight RP project, you can just start by using any templates and if you need shader graphs later on, you can just install it Package Manager >> All >> Lightweight Render Pipeline

[@xCrOaTiEnSniPZzx]

i have a question. can i use the shader graph on 2d Sprites? :p

[@adarshupadhyay5410]

imHrvaT probably although there will be some problems since sprites need 2d shader and stuff

[@nitingoswami1959]

still watching in 2020 with excitement thank u brackeys please make more video on this topic I am really exciting to watch them.

[@NagatoPainPL]

Will the shader created in this way work on smartphones?

[@IndieMarkus]

Probably, since the lightweight render pipeline is targeted towards mobile devices and VR, but I don't know for sure.

[@Mr.Adhesive]

IndieMarkus hmmm, I would say it depends because I think you may need a graphics card to run shaders, unless you want your game to be super laggy and ran through the cpu.

[@farmerjuan]

You could, but it would probably be quite resource intensive. However, I'm not a mobile developer so I don't quite know.

[@Mr.Adhesive]

Richie Hyacinth really? Guess I need to do more research on what's actually in a phone. Thanks for informing me.

[@Great.Milenko]

yes these shaders created in shader graph will 100% work perfectly on mobile devices, although keep in mind that the simplicity of the shader graph makes it very easy to create incredibly resource intensive shaders when a simpler shader would do the same job.

[@DaDarkDragon]

If you go to the scene view and hit the image button next to audio it will preview in the scene, one of the drop-down options is animated shaders which is disabled by default. no one seems to know about this, but has been around for awhile. its probably because none of the built in shaders used this feature from what i could remember.

Icycold It's First Person Shooter.

[@JellieBean123]

There shouldn't be much difference between a first- and a third-person-shooter in terms of what unity features you need to use. I think you should try to make this on your own or you won't get far if you rely on step-by-step guides.

One of the reasons I wanted to get into UE4 was that it was a more complete engine. Until now, Unity was more expensive to use if you wanted to add the same functionality as UE4 through the asset store. But 2018 has been changing all that. Great stuff.

[@kalibcrone6963]

Another bug with Unity graph 2019 that I have noticed, is that when using HDPR > LIt shader and creating the sine time animation as shown in this video, the preview will not animate, however the shader does in fact animate when used. Had me really stumped for awhile. Just bringing it up in case another user has this issue. A tip is to turn on "Animated Materials" in the Unity scene view drop down menu so that you do not have to enter Play mode in order to see the shader animation.
