This video is really really great. I've been trying to wrap my head around shaders for a while and it's just like you said - lots of people covering how to make specific effects, but not many people covering the basics. Thanks so much for this.
I've been so confused on various aspects of shader graph, and no other tutorials seemed to explain it well. I'm only 12 minutes into the video but you've already cleared up so many things I was confused about. Thanks!
I love your workflow and the explorative approach you take. Very useful, and very encouraging. Getting to see you not having the exact answer for everything is very human and makes me feel like I can get there too. 🙏 Many thanks! ✌️
I'm halfway through the video and already written a page of notes with a lot of crucial information, was running away from shader graph but this made me want to jump into it. Really impressive presentation
I can't even begin to express how worthwhile and fascinating this video has been to me. I'm in my late 30's, and working to change my career to something related to shaders in graphics.
Nice! Lots of great building blocks to get you going making interesting materials. With the scrolling and step nodes shown you're already pretty close to a toon waterfall/river. Good stuff! Also appreciated the cosmic Jiro.
Really helpful Pablo! Nice one. After surfing so many channels showing scary techniques, finally understood the basics through your video. thanks for making it easy- subscribed
Loved this video and loved your cat Jiro! Thanks for the tips, as someone who's only recently delved into Unity's Shader Graph it's incredibly helpful to be shown a bunch of the essential tools at your disposal and I'm sure I'll be coming back to this video plenty!
We need more tutorials about shader graph for dummies haha. I really want to know how vertex works, I want to create a hit interaction with a hologram using shader graph. Excellent video by the way
@@PabloMakes I would be interested in applying a detailed stylized shader on a pbr material :) Wood (chest, planks) or stone (boulders, walls) as examples.
Jiro, the patron saint of shaders Great tutorial as always. I'd be curious to see a tutorial about animation layers and blend trees, just in case you're looking for any ideas :D
I like this video, good job. Just wanted to mention a tip, i see you often try to zoom in and out in the scene view, witch you can control with the scene view camera settings - but a faster way and to leave that alone is just to just hold down Alt and right mouse button and slide left and right. Keep up the good work. I was trying to find out if there is a difference in using shader graph or to use the 5 surface maps on a 'normal' urp lit map. Are both called PBR if all 5 maps are present in either way? (I am making an asset for the store, so wanted to know if i should mention it as pbr, and im not currently using custom shaders)
If you use the URP Lit shader that is PBR. Only reason to use shader graph is if you want to do something a little extra, but the lit shader has you covered for most things
Helpful tutorial even though I can't directly use it since I have to manually write (or borrow) GLSL... etc. shaders for Game Maker Studio 2... it's the one area it's not really streamlined and noob friendly in. Rebb cameo! Nice.
Surprising that GM doesnt have a shader editor. Shader graph in unity spits out hlsl, so you can always convert, I've done manual conversion before, it is a pain tho
GMS2 can use HLSL, it's just not the most compatible shader that works with the most platforms, if I'm correct that would be GLSL ES, that being said since Unity is free to use I might check out shader graph if I can't find or make a shader I need and then this tutorial will be very helpful!
Hi, you have amazing videos, the only place that really teaches Shader Graph, thanks! I have already signed up. Look, may I have a suggestion for you. I didn't find a video all over youtube talking about "Shader Graph Lit" for 2D games (only "Sprite lit SG", but that doesn't get the "metalic" effect for example) is this possible? (I tried on my own and couldn't), can you help? A video about this would be the first on all of youtube. (I'm from Brazil, I used Google translator)
Tysm for the handy overview! I am new to this stuff and the step node would have spared me a headache yesterday haha. :D will you cover the position nodes on top too sometime, or is there a video you recommend? :)
I do want to make one! I made this flag with it a while back that I think could be a cool tutorial twitter.com/PabloPoon/status/1364057228702085123 However this example avoids messing with normals, which is wrong, but in this case its not very noticeable. Dealing with normals is much more complicated, and there is a pretty good tutorial on that, so not really looking forward to rethreading that ground, so maybe I will do the flag and then point people to this other tutorial? ua-cam.com/video/arCHjoQHgEU/v-deo.html Hope you ahve a great time shadering
Hi, I'm five minutes in and my shader graph material when created was magenta pink, not grey. When you suggest colouring the shader red then saving, nothing changed because I think the bright pink denotes that something in settings isn't correct. How can I fix this please? Thanks
Pink is the color broken materials show in unity. So that means something is broken pretty early on. If a brand new material is already pink my guess would be your render pipeline isn’t setup properly. Shader graph works on URP and HDRP, so gotta make sure when you make your project you select those and not the standard render pipeline. Hope that makes sense, I’m just guessing that’s why it’s pink but there could be other reasons hard to tell remotely
@@PabloMakes Thanks for responding. I'll go back and take a look at my settings. I tend to stick with URP at present, but being relatively fresh with using Unity, I haven't developed the skills to quickly identify problems which might seem more obvious to seasoned users.
Thanks for the video! I'm about half way through it and the object that I have my shader on is just showing a non moving black and white noise pattern, while my shadergraph window shows the different colors moving up and down. I've made sure to save the asset. Any clue on why it wouldn't show up in the scene view?
I’m having an issue with all my shaders, whenever I create a material out of the unlit shader it’s pink off the bat not grey, I have urp, shader installed…
Pink material means broken shader, if the shader is doing nothing, it means the target of your shader graph doesn’t match the srp you are using. Are you 100% sure you have URP properly set? I’d bet that is what’s wrong
For anyone else experiencing this, you need to make sure your project's graphics settings (Edit->Project Settings->Graphics->Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings) have the URP Pipeline Asset assigned. You can create one by doing the following: Assets->Create->Rendering->Universal Render Pipeline->Pipeline Asset. Then drag the newly created Renderer asset to the Scriptable Pipeline in the graphics settings. The above worked for me in Unity 2020.3.32f1.
Depends on what you want to do. The most common case I see is “I deformed my vertices and now my normals are wrong.” If this is what you want to solve GameDevBill has a very good tutorial on the topic ua-cam.com/video/arCHjoQHgEU/v-deo.html hope this helps
@@PabloMakes I was just looking at that video last thanks. My issue was that I wanted to edit the normals like at this time stamp ua-cam.com/video/yhGjCzxJV3E/v-deo.html . I see the poor topology with going with a lower resolution model can cause poor lighting. Thing is that I know the Shader Graph can change the normals, and I created a HLSL script that allows me to get the camera angle of the player, so I wanted to edit the normals as needed with a shader. I know this video ua-cam.com/video/hrCILKVbjcI/v-deo.html , shows us we can edit the normals in a 3D model and import it that way. But I wanted to be able to procedurally edit the normals with the Shader Graph. I am just a few steps away from it, I can see how figuring out editing these normals will give me the result I want. I just don't know how to input into that Vertex part of the node. There is some conversion I am unaware of because I can not input anything into that part of the node, nothing will connect. I will look at his video again. Thank you for your time.
Nothing will connect likely means you are using something it doesn’t have available. Pretty common case is texture sample, try using texture sample lod instead
Hi! Shader newbie here, I have URP installed and created an unlit shader but creating a material with that shader applied just makes it pink. Any idea why? Thanks!
Pink is the color of broken materials in Unity, if your shader graph is empty, then problem can’t be there. I would check if the render pipeline is hooked correctly. If you look in Edit > project settings > graphics, is the pipeline asset hooked there at the top? You can change the shader in your material to universal render pipeline/ Lit if that’s pink too, then for sure it’s the pipeline setup
If your project is brand new, I would recommend just making a new one and selecting URP. But if you already have stuff in there then I would recommend looking for a “convert to urp” tutorial
Only in a very general way, the upwards géiser looks to be particles, same with the embers, the ring is a cylinder with a custom material, the clouds themselves could be particles, but since they dissolve outwards they must have a custom shader, they could also just be billboards

Great tutorial! Finally somebody who can explain the actual input and results in practical application terms. Fantastic. Subscribed.
Glad you liked it. Shaders can be tough to explain 😅
Thank you soo much for this! I've been watching tutorials hoping to gain what you just showed in one video
For someone who has used blender I wanted to learn but couldn't find the nodes I wanted smoothstep is the I will use a lot thanks a lot 😊
This is an amazing and easy tutorial . Well done 👍
I don't even work in Unity but your vids are so calming I can't not watch

Damn you bro
Hi! It would be cool having a sort of tutorial about subsurface scattering with shader graph. Ty for your videos.

This is so great! Really help me a lot
still I have one doubt ( how to change roughness or metallic using color mask without affecting entire mesh )
Generally you would use textures for that, so if the texture has white then it’s super metallic, black not metallic at all. Hope that helps!
