Inside Shader Graph

Learn about Shader Graph concepts and features.

Topic	Description
Shader Graph Asset	Learn about the asset type that contains any shader graph you create.
Graph Target	Determine the end point compatibility of a shader you generate with Shader Graph.
Node	Create nodes in your shader graph and learn about node interconnection details with ports and edges.
Sub Graphs	Create sub graphs that you can reference from inside other graphs.
Sticky Notes	Use sticky notes to write comments within your shader graphs.
Color Modes	Select color modes to improve your graph readability according to certain criteria like node category, relative performance cost, data precision mode, or custom colors.
Precision Modes	Set precision modes for graphs, subgraphs, and nodes to help you optimize your content for different platforms.
Preview Mode Control	Manually select your preferred preview mode for nodes that have a preview.
Custom Render Textures	Create shaders that are compatible with Custom Render Texture Update and Initialization materials.
Material Variants	Create variations based on a single material.
Property Types	Use properties in your shader graph to expose them as material properties and make them editable in the material that uses the shader.
Keywords	Use keywords to create different variants for your shader graph.
Data Types	Learn about all data types available in Shader Graph.
Port Bindings	Learn about port bindings, which ensure that some ports always meet data type expectations.
Shader Stage	Learn about shader stages that apply to specific ports according to their context compatibility.
Surface options	Modify a specific set of properties for certain render pipeline targets.
Custom Interpolators	Pass custom data from the vertex context to the fragment context.
