How To Create Custom Shader Graph Nodes - Some items are cleaner as code, some are cleaner in a shader graph. Today we’ll be exploring how to combine the two. Meaning, how to write HLSL code, that can be utilized as a custom node within a shader graph. Custom shader graph nodes are incredibly powerful if you are in a team that likes working in graphs. Especially if your creative types are only interested in working in a graph, but need some high-horsepower effects.

Fog Plane Shader Breakdown - This post includes two examples to produce fog shader effects. In both cases, the shader is applied to a flat plane or quad where the alpha of the surface is altered based on depth values to produce a fog effect.

Vertex Displacement - While fragment shaders provide colours for each fragment/pixel, we can use vertex shaders to offset the vertices of the mesh. In shadergraph, nodes that are connected to the Master node Position input will be written into the Vertex stage of the shader.

Don’t ignore the side effect of Managed code stripping - After Unity 2018.3, the new Managed Stripping Level option replaces the old Stripping Level option in the player settings. This new option is available for all platforms and both Mono and IL2CPP scripting backends. The main purpose of this feature is to reduce the size of the app by removing some unused code. It sounds great, but there is a potential side effect. How does Unity know which code is unused code?

Create a prefab from runtime base state - When animating, you may find a desirable state for a complex object: to make this a base state, enter Play Mode, scrub the Animation timeline to where things are as you like, then drag the object to a Project Folder. This creates a new prefab at this base state.

Flip normals of an object (or make material2-sided) - Reality Composer - Tried to make a 360 photo bubble, but fbx export from Unity did not keep a double-sided shader once converted to usdz. Instead, flip normals on a sphere, then use double-sided. Works. See how to do this on several platforms.
