Unity Shader Graph Documentation

Shader Graph is a visual tool that allows you to build shaders by creating and connecting nodes in a graph network instead of writing code manually.

Key capabilities include:

• Procedural Surface Alteration: Procedurally change how surfaces appear.
• UV Manipulation: Warp and animate UV coordinates.
• Image Adjustments: Modify object looks using standard image adjustment operations.
• Contextual Surface Changes: Change surface properties based on world location, normals, distance from camera, or other object data.
• Material Inspector Exposure: Expose specific shader parameters to the Unity Material Inspector for easy editing.
• Subgraphs: Share node networks between multiple graphs and users by creating subgraphs.
• Custom Nodes: Extend functionality by creating custom shader graph nodes using C# and HLSL.
