How To Control Shaders With Scripts - Shader Graph

[@JasonWelch]

Helped me accept the fact that if I really want multiple effects and such, I really need to just create single shaders / materials that include everything.

[@CorneliusCornbread]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this won't provide the intended effect with multiple instances of this material in the scene. Quick tip for getting around this, get the original material and in code (not in the editor) create a new material by passing in the old material in the arguments. Set the new material on your mesh renderer. This will allow you to have the effect by specific to that game object.

[@DapperDinoCodingTutorials]

I'm almost certain that it is separate when using renderer.material (There is renderer.sharedMaterial I think that allows you to change for all instances of the material in the scene but I have never used it)

[@LukasMartin9422]

@@DapperDinoCodingTutorials hey! if you use .material, you are doing a new material instance only to that object. Keeping in mind that, you are breaking Material Batching, causing FPS drops due to Unity not being able to batch as much as possible same materials. The proper way to do that, is using MaterialPropertyBlock, to pass the "modification" during drawtime and not breaking batching! Cheers

[@hibiscustea7116]

For that you'll better use GPU instancing, just like ​ Lucas Martin says.

Nice tutorial, love the content about systems & tricks like that ^^

Great video! , but how can I make lerp/smooth transition from 0 to 1 on a single click???

[@Crons-v3f]

Looks awesome, Great work! I just have a question, not really related to this video but since you're really good you could know the answer. I'm making some special effects for my characters, and I'm creating shaders for it. For example, I created a shader that would dissolve the player and another shader that would make the player almost invisible (cloaking effect). How can I apply these 2 shaders depending on what special effect I want to add? For example, the player is using the normal URP Lit shader and I want to dissolve the player, should I replace the shader by the dissolve one, or should I create 1 complex shader that does dissolve and invisibility?

could you make a follow up tutorial on controlling shaders from timeline?

[@postymusic4387]

Thank you I think this is exactly what I needed

[@aghost6097]

love the video! How about a pixiJS game development tutorial? I've been trying out the basics and have been struggling

[@igeanimation]

Umm. Man. When I do this (using URP), it turns pink, magically changing the shader to Hidden/InternalErrorShader. HELP PLZ!!!!

[@igeanimation]

Also, nice vid.

Is there any major difference between an Action and an UnityAction?

[@ravanin]

you mean event and unity event?

[@CorneliusCornbread]

@@ravanin It's referred to as both. The class name is Action and UnityAction but they're events. But yes there is, Actions require a function to be passed into it upon creation, whilst UnityActions have no such requirement. UnityActions also can be serialized in the editor. Actions can have arguments whilst UnityActions cannot. docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Events.UnityAction.html

[@Rizzmaster9001]

Here 's the quick fix: ---------------------------------------- public Material myMaterial; private void Start() { float myFloatValue = myMaterial.GetFloat("_myProperty"); myFloatValue = 1f; } ------------------------------------------- "_myProperty" is the name of the custom shader property u want to change. !!! NOTE !!! that in the shader graph the property name and reference name are not the same thing. You need the reference name. This can be found by going on the graph inspector and clicking on your property node. took me waay too long to find ffs.

[@a.technology1446]

Nice tutorial thx, can you guide me for beginners tutorials about Shaders, this look advanced to me

[@Treetopper911]

Very useful video! Thank you!

[@gamingglyphss]

photon chat tutorial please 🙏

[@DapperDinoCodingTutorials]

I'm not really using Photon anymore. Mirror is better in pretty much every way and I actually do have a chat tutorial for Mirror :)

[@TheCallumFerguson]

Is there a good way to do p2p with Mirror? I've seen noble connect, but is this the only option?

Thanks :) Glad you're enjoying the content

[@DiamondhandsForever]

why did you load this down with so much extra functionality? you made it so complex for no reason. all i want to know is how to change the material's variable. that's it.
