In this webinar, we’ll learn how to create impressive and efficient effects using shaders and Unity’s Shader Graph tool. We’ll start with defining shaders, and how to create a Shader Graph asset. Throughout the session you’ll learn about the Shader Graph workflow, different types of nodes, and simple graphs that can act as building blocks for larger, more complex effects. This session will enable you to get started with Unity’s Shader Graph and create performant effects for your projects. Unleash your creativity and design stunning visual effects with Shader Graph's intuitive node-based workflow. Learning objectives: Understand the role of shaders in a Unity project Create Shader Graph assets and apply them to a Material Create a foliage shader to simulate moving grass or trees Create a simple water shader using similar techniques to the foliage shader

Eventually you will want to create a shader that animates continuously or at certain points in time. Whatever the goal, you will use the Time node to achieve this. The Time node allows you to access multiple time variables to work with within the shader. In this tutorial, you will learn to adjust and manage animations in Shaders.

Streamline your workflow by creating high-quality shaders. Shader Graph lets you visually author shaders and see the results in real-time. This session looks at how materials use texture maps to define the overall appearance of assets, then demonstrates how materials, textures, shaders and lighting all work together to create the final look.

Gradients are used for many things within Shaders, such as fading transparency, allowing a shift between two or more colors over time, or adding a vignette. Within the Shader Graph, there are two Gradient nodes you’ll want to become familiar with. In this tutorial, you will learn to adjust gradients to customize Shaders.

In this project, you will learn how to apply and configure some of the key VFX properties in Unity’s Visual FX Graph tool. You will utilise GPU events to create realistic fireworks effects, and you will learn how to integrate Shader Graph with Visual Effects graph to enhance the look and feel of visual effects. Suggested Skill Level & Prerequisite Knowledge - It is expected participants should already have some understanding of the following: Unity Editor level: Beginner to Intermediate VFX Graph level: Beginner Shader Graph level: Beginner Optional: Complete Making Snow with VFX Graph and Make a Flag with Shader Graph projects

In this tutorial, you will learn to create a simple node-based Shader using Shader Graph and implement it in the Lightweight Render Pipeline

In this tutorial, you will learn the fundamentals of creating particle-driven effects in VFX Graph and later move on to creating effects such as the snowstorm below.

Within the Shader Graph, there is a Add node that allows you to define a math node that adds two inputs together. In this tutorial, you will learn to use the Add node to create Custom Shaders.

Within the Shader Graph, the Color node allows you to add color to an effect, use it to sample other colors, and much more. In this tutorial, you will learn to adjust color to customize effects in your Shaders.
