Unity Shader Graph - Changing Parameters in Script

[@Blinkers2007GameDev]

This is the best video I have ever seen on changing shader graphs. The guy helped me making my paintball game 1000 times more than any drawing paint on surface tutorial ever did! Thank you for this!

[@SayyidahHumairah]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I finally finished my project after getting stuck for days

[@coolcucumber4239]

OMG! I spent 2 hours trying to find out how to change the shader parameters, and you just showed me. Thank you so much!!

[@josiahvarughese6432]

The tip about the parameter names was the end to a long period of banging my head against the wall, thank you 🙏 .

[@brunogattai9262]

This video saved my life, thank you very much

[@dayliss413]

Thanks for making this video! I've never used shaders before so I would have been lost on the issue you show at 6:29 for a LONG time.

[@DapperDinoCodingTutorials]

It took me ages in the first place so I'm glad that I can help others not waste their time :D

[@ryanfranks9441]

You have some of the best tutorials on the internet. Is it possible to do a black hole warp style shader with shader graph?

[@wholesomedokichannel8603]

So that was the trick... using these weird reference names !! Thanks man, saved my life !

[@marekmichalovic8711]

Thank you, the part around 6:20 solved my problem! Great tutorial!

[@darksecret6050]

Same😕

[@dafabulousdude8541]

You can change the reference name of the properties in the shader graph. For every property there’s a „Reference“ box where you can change the name.

[@poperblx]

ohmygod finally. i have been stuck in the same problem for days lol. thankyou! you earn a like and a subscribe

I was watching you do the "This game Lies" Game Jam earlier. How funny I had to look for a way to access a shader parameter and the best info I found was your video. That is way cool. Good Job on the video. I did not know to look for such a crazy string name. I did exactly what you did. Your video was super, super, useful. I am creating a parallelax shader for LWR (Lit Sprite 2D Renderer) at least trying to.(This is mbalrog6)

[@Miguel_Silva_]

Instead of using SetFloat directly on the material, you can animate the slider in the material's instance in the object and trigger this animation by a Mecanim parameter. In this way, the changes will be individual for each object and not for all objects with the same material, in addition to all the control that the animation allows.

[@thebiggestdick69]

or you can use gameObject.GetComponent().material.SetFloat("property", float value); It may be also SkinnedMeshRenderer or SpriteRenderer Note: properties names usually are the same as in the inspector but with "_" at the beginning

[@Overdrink7]

Really usefull as I wanted to modify the shader but only for one instance ! ty

[@Robot0451]

@@thebiggestdick69 This helped me alot thanks

[@PatrikBergsten]

@@thebiggestdick69Note that MeshRenderer.material returns a copy of the material and is internally tracked so this will create a memory leak on the c++ engine side. Calling Meshrenderer.material in Awake/Start will create the copy, manipulating the material as needed with MeshRenderer.sharedMaterial (sharedMaterial is now a reference to the copy in this MeshRenderer), and then in OnDestroy calling Destroy on the material and setting the reference to null or calling Resources.UnloadUnusedAssetsAll (can be somewhat expensive) will avoid the memory leak. The same is true for meshes, Texture2Ds, and some other UnityEngine.Objects that gets created at runtime.

Love this video. SO seldomly have I found exact answers to what I'm looking for in such brief order.

[@jpmadulid1746]

Thank you for this video. Solved my problem. Was trying to change the texture of the shader on my skybox material. The properties ID in the shader is all I needed. thanks.

[@Th3M729]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!!!

[@flaviodg2323]

Just what I needed! Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much mate!

[@CleisonRodriguesComposer]

Thank you! You help me a lot.

[@SlayerDUDE1993]

Is it possible to access PBR master output shader properties from a script? For instance I want to be able to switch my shader from 1 sided to 2 sided.

[@grmurr346]

Just a heads up, if you're using Unity 2020 you'll want to use the reference of the property

[@ahmedmoubarik168]

Awesome tutorial, thank you!

[@アラン-b4t]

Very Help for me , Thanks!

[@lovelesstsukashi8786]

First of all, tyvm for the video, it was really helpful. I ran into an issue, which was the shadow. After dissolving, the shadow remains there. Is there any way to make it "dissolve" too, or any trick to make it not look so wrong?

[@DapperDinoCodingTutorials]

I don't think you have access to shadow properties in shader graph so if you wanted to make the effect but with the shadow being effected too then I would recommend learning how to do it from scratch with shader code :D

[@KillerGameDev]

This is cool! But Im curious, can you do material property blocks with a shader graph? Im newish to shaders in general so double-new to shader graphs, but I read that if I have two objects which need the same material but with only a color or texture change, to use material property blocks for performance reasons. I THINK I was seeing people say that just setting the color or float or what not instantiates a new material versus just loading the current material with a small change. However, I cant seem to apply this method to shader graphs. Could you point me in the right direction? Also, taking your online multiplayer networking course on udemy right now. Pretty cool! :D

[@rouxboat9067]

the only problem i am having is that i have multiple objects with the same shader, and they all change at the same rate, not individually. (by clicking on each one it lowers a thickness value.)

[@Miguel_Silva_]

Instead of using SetFloat directly on the material, you can animate the slider in the material's instance in the object and trigger this animation by a Mecanim parameter. In this way, the changes will be individual for each object and not for all objects with the same material, in addition to all the control that the animation allows.

This was great, I was wondering how to access shader properties in script 😁😁

Thank you

[@ajaygamedeveloper6148]

Hi! I have a shader which blurs UI and it uses "_Size" for amount of blur. I'm able to set "_Size" using setfloat to 0 for no blur and I can set it to 6 for completely blur it but I want "_Size" to lerp from 0 to 6 (slowly blur background). I tried math.lerp and lean tween but couldn't do it. Please help me. I want to lerp custom shader property

[@watercat1248]

The questions ther is way to open the sheder graph in code Instead the note System?

[@NaguWhiteout]

Maybe it was like this half a year ago. Now you simply go to the property inspector in the shader graph editor and change the reference name for the property to a more useable name :-)

[@mesenes77]

Thanks!

[@StaryzHelios]

how to adjust the PARAMETER value that have X,Y,Z on material shader?

[@magnusm4]

I can imagine your health idea and add perlin noise to it to get a cool fluid effect.

[@magnusm4]

Despite shader graph being a thing. I still would love more to learn to code shaders myself. I prefer learning a skill than spoiled even though it's better. Plus my first experience was when it was new and it kept crashing. Changed something insignificant and the whole thing would permanently be purple, like running an old game from the early 2000s. It was highly unstable.

[@tixitigame]

thank you so much. I 've just subcribed your channel.:))

[@stay2373]

Thanks !!! I love it !!!

[@ButterGames]

It Worked. Thanks!

[@__dane__]

I know this is an older video but I’m shocked more people haven’t mentioned you can rename the shader property nameID in shader graph’s blackboard - it doesn’t need to be “Vector3_1d5f....”

[@nicdepp]

I'm trying to make it so it's a smooth transition with each increment, any way you know of doing that?

[@Tornado77]

Mathf.lerp

[@milte_]

The need for the "code" of the value u want to change is weird but whatever... Thanks :)

[@DapperDinoCodingTutorials]

That's because when I made the video Shader graph just threw out random codes for the properties but as far as I know, they've made it so that you can choose the code for it inside shader graph now.

[@milte_]

@@DapperDinoCodingTutorials That would be nice! I will check it tomorrow :)

[@wonkysouceaasdsad9664]

U can acess reference by clicking on properties inside shadergraph.

Thank u for this tutorial BUT i have a question(HELP) ...at start when i change the fade, the shade work perfectly until i move the player with an input then things go wrong !! and i want to apply this when the player collide with an object, and i made a piece of code but the result is not the same ! private void Dissolve() { if (bodyCollider.IsTouchingLayers(LayerMask.GetMask("Interactables"))) { isDissolving = true; } if (isDissolving) { fade -= Time.deltaTime; if (fade

[@edk.2045]

Okay, I love Unity. I really do. But when they do stupid crap like calling it "Vector1_12easdnuendmylife", it really ticks me off.

[@crown_5326]

6:41 this is painful to watch you could just copy and paste

[@utkans]

You can't copy it from the inspector. Edit: I realized it is possible to copy it from the shader graph under properties.
