If you are just looking at this now, The Light Weight Render Pipeline has been renamed to Universal Render Pipeline. The LWRP has evolved into the Universal RP. This is in contrast to High Definition Render Pipeline, which the Universal RP does not replace.
This new feature works only with lwrp and hdrp. Both are unfinished, lwrp that was created as a optimized mobile render pipeline, but has worster optimization in mobile game, as old Unity rp. So sad :(
Dude I gotta be honest...1000% pefer these types of "ads" on UA-cam. I've bookmarked Bolt after watching this. You did a great job making it look relevant and useful.
brilliant introduction to shader graphs even in 2022. I really wish to know how this man is doing. He was absolutely brillant and will never truely know the impact he made on developers like me. Great man
Yes! Definitely more shader graph videos, I love it! It's like working with Cycles render in Blender, but in real-time! So intuitive, fun, and making awesome looking shaders takes little effort now. Keep it up Brackeys!
Yaaaaassssssss. I've been trying to figure out shaders for over a year now. I watched the unite talks, I watched the tutorials and everything else. Never figured it out. Maybe more things will change
Please do more tutorials with this! This is awesome! I'd like to see how these shaders can be parametrized through code (maybe some dissolving animation style shader with a percentage value on how much should be dissolved?)
IndieMarkus Using some information gathered from playing with "manual" shaders, all you need to do is have a parameter (like a percentage value as you suggested), then using getcompenent().material.your_parameter to access and change it.
Thank's for the information! That seems really usable for me! I was planning on using this shader for desintegrating parts of an object that were hit with a bullet. I know a bit about shaders and OpenGl and stuff, but I'm not really used to using them in Unity yet.
How do you maximize a window by a shortcut at the beginning? (2:57) Thanks in advance! EDIT - I just accidentally found out - maybe someone will be interested - it's actually SHIFT + SPACE
Thank you Brackeys so much for making quick, reliable tutorials for unity. You are without question the biggest influence on my game making progress. You truly are a unity master and I hope to possess your skill level one day.
Still useful in 2023, I needed just to know some basic stuff, I tried using shader graph and I was impressed how easy it is to make good looking shaders.
IF THERE'S A 1 WEEK LONG TUTORIAL ON THIS I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT, SO EXCITED FOR UNITYS DEVELOPMENT IN GRAPHICS, YES! Oh and also sorry for the caps-lock 😅
@Morty -- Apology NOT accepted. Why didn't you just fix your comment instead of apologizing? Shame on you, you horrible, horrible person. Think of the children!
Oh no! you figured out my master plan, muhahahahaha! Soon my voice will be heard through all streets! I will yell as loud as possible, and nothing can stop me!
Ryan Franks maybe you should try using the bloom effect. It's not in the shader graph though, it's actually a post processing effect, a really cool one!
The moment I saw the release video, i thought "Brakeys needs to do a video on shader graphs". Still learning basic scripting, but this is going top in my priority list.
There appears to be a Unity bug currently disallowing users to see the preview correctly in some versions of 2019. One solution is to use HDPR > Lit shader instead of PBR. This allowed me to view the preview of the shader as it is shown in this video. Hope that helps!
Okay so im following along to this tutorial on an existing project of mine. i have a terrain and character. But im stuck and i need some help 1) this tutorial is abit old now, so i had to download URP as "render pipeline lightweight" doesnt exist anymore 2)PBR shader is gone, found out im to add Lit Shader Graph. 3)lit shader graph preview is pink. Found out i had to create a new URP Asset and drag and drop it to my Preferences>Graphics render pipeline 4)fixed material preview issue, except now EVERYTHING ELSE in my existing scene is pink. I have a mixture of toon shaders, tree materials and standard materials and reverting some materials to standard just doesnt work, it makes things worse 5)???
Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I always wanted to learn shader programming but was too scared of it. This tutorial makes it very easy to get a good overview of the basic mechanics
I have a problem and I wonder if someone can help me with it. Whenever I create a new shader, there is no material (it just shows this bright pink color on the material) in the master node. I can add as many nodes as I want but the result will always have no material thanks Edit: read the comments below to see the solution
Actually, I solved it. My problem was solved by doing the following (may or may not work for you): -Go to Edit>Project settings>Graphics -Check the "Scriptable render pipeline settings". If it doesn't have a "Lightweight asset" template, change it to that. -If you don't have a "Lightweight asset" template, create one by right-click>create>Rendering>Lightweight asset. Then assign that to your graphics settings. Note that changing the rendering template will cause all standard shaders to not render properly, which means that you'll have to rely on lightweight shaders only from there on. I hope this helps
IndieMarkus hmmm, I would say it depends because I think you may need a graphics card to run shaders, unless you want your game to be super laggy and ran through the cpu.
yes these shaders created in shader graph will 100% work perfectly on mobile devices, although keep in mind that the simplicity of the shader graph makes it very easy to create incredibly resource intensive shaders when a simpler shader would do the same job.
I have a tab with this video for 3 weeks because I want to install the shader graph and try it myself, once I have the time. Now every day when I start up my PC the first thing I see, is you rubbing your forehead. It's like a running gag that gets better every time and since I had to lol today I thought it was time to mention it in the comments ... thank you for making my day(s) and the great tutorials of course.
There shouldn't be much difference between a first- and a third-person-shooter in terms of what unity features you need to use. I think you should try to make this on your own or you won't get far if you rely on step-by-step guides.
shaders always were misterious to me.... but now it seems so simple to work with it! Thank you Brackeys, I was a little afraid of using the Shader Graph thinking it might be to hard for me, but it seems that I will handle it well :D thanks for this awesome tutorial, again
One of the reasons I wanted to get into UE4 was that it was a more complete engine. Until now, Unity was more expensive to use if you wanted to add the same functionality as UE4 through the asset store. But 2018 has been changing all that. Great stuff.
If you go to the scene view and hit the image button next to audio it will preview in the scene, one of the drop-down options is animated shaders which is disabled by default. no one seems to know about this, but has been around for awhile. its probably because none of the built in shaders used this feature from what i could remember.
You don't need to start a Lightweight RP project, you can just start by using any templates and if you need shader graphs later on, you can just install it Package Manager >> All >> Lightweight Render Pipeline
If you are just looking at this now, The Light Weight Render Pipeline has been renamed to Universal Render Pipeline. The LWRP has evolved into the Universal RP. This is in contrast to High Definition Render Pipeline, which the Universal RP does not replace.
Thank you
Thanks for the heads up
i love you thanks
I added Universal RP to my project, but I don't see the ability to create a shader, is there something I'm missing?
I'm an idiot. I was right clicking in hierarchy instead of project. I didn't realize it matters. Sorry everyone. Please learn from my mistake.
Yesss more videos about shadeers I loved it!
This new feature works only with lwrp and hdrp. Both are unfinished, lwrp that was created as a optimized mobile render pipeline, but has worster optimization in mobile game, as old Unity rp. So sad :(
Man you look weird in your pic
I hope it is not you
I think a quick overview of most useful/interesting nodes would be great
This is a game changer, please make more videos on this.
pun intended
Blender is better
Yes Holograms and dissolving please.
I think Hologram is gonna be a little hard :/
Hologram effect is part of ShaderGraph Example Library project... github.com/UnityTechnologies/ShaderGraph_ExampleLibrary
You can also fin a rather good presentation here : ua-cam.com/video/NsWNRLD-FEI/v-deo.htmlm0s

Yo! Is there any way to get a halo effect with shader graphs nodes?
Dude I gotta be honest...1000% pefer these types of "ads" on UA-cam. I've bookmarked Bolt after watching this. You did a great job making it look relevant and useful.
Hmm... As the developer, I can assure you it is 2018 compatible :)
Yo! Is there any way to get a halo effect with shader graphs nodes?
People in 2021 - PBR shader has been removed and incorporated within URP - Lit Shader / HDRP - Lit Shader
wdym?
Thanks!

I really love this tutorials keep it up brackeys 👍💜💜
still watching in 2020 with excitement thank u brackeys please make more video on this topic I am really exciting to watch them.
the package called Lightweight RP
in case someone wonder
when I open up the shader it says "The current render pipeline is not compatible with this master node." and the shader is pink :(
@@wb4529 Have you solved your problem? Because I have the same issue...
@@hannesforslund3099 You have to use the High Definition RP or the LWRP Template, shader graph is not currently compatible with the other ones

I hope this helps
when you say how to create the Light Weight asset what do you right click?
where is it I do right click in the hiracy>create> and then I can't find anything under the name Rendering
Any empty space in the assets folder.
Same way you would create a material or even a c# script
For those wondering how to find PBR shader in unity 2020 and newer you should use Universal Render Pipeline > Lit Shader Graph
Will the shader created in this way work on smartphones?
Probably, since the lightweight render pipeline is targeted towards mobile devices and VR, but I don't know for sure.
IndieMarkus hmmm, I would say it depends because I think you may need a graphics card to run shaders, unless you want your game to be super laggy and ran through the cpu.
You could, but it would probably be quite resource intensive. However, I'm not a mobile developer so I don't quite know.
Richie Hyacinth really? Guess I need to do more research on what's actually in a phone. Thanks for informing me.

i have a question. can i use the shader graph on 2d Sprites? :p
imHrvaT probably although there will be some problems since sprites need 2d shader and stuff
ShaderGraph is an amazing tool so it deserves more videos, it has a bunch of cool features that I would love to learn.
bolt? the movie?!!

finally this is here, awesome
Can you upload Third Person Shooter TUTORIAL video.
he already has a series on it...
Icycold its not third person though!!! It's FAR too hard to figure out how to drag a camera outside of an object.
Icycold It's First Person Shooter.
There shouldn't be much difference between a first- and a third-person-shooter in terms of what unity features you need to use.
I think you should try to make this on your own or you won't get far if you rely on step-by-step guides.
Neqiro I want to study mechanim animation for Third Person that's why I need a Third Person Shooter Tutorial.
i certainly want to see more of this!

Was just watching your multiplayer fps tutorial. You literally got me into unity! Great content ^_^
so hyped to start creating cool effects with this
We really need more! Great tutorial!
Man yeah do the the hologram shader ! Awesome tutorial
love the new outro
PLEASE more about this tool. It's the only thing missing in my skills list :p. One of the best videos Brackeys :)

Amazing feature, I was underestimating it before. Certainly we'll use it a lot!
Such a great feature, if you've worked with Blender Cycles before! So easy to get into it.

Oh man, if you could make a separate series on different types of shaders, that would be not only awesome but all of the valuable to the world :O
Making shaders in Unity is finally as easy as it is in Blender! UE4's had something like this for years. I'm glad Unity is getting on top of it.
