How to Make Your First Shader Graph | Unity Basics

Shader Graph is often seen as a "friendlier" route to making shaders in Unity than code. Learn how to set up Shader Graph and build your own graphs using the simplest nodes and properties in this Unity Basics tutorial!

More Shader Graph basic content will be covered in future videos, so stay tuned!

If you're having problems finding the correct type of graph at the 2:05 mark, the menu changed a bit between Unity versions. In newer versions, go to Create -> Shader -> Universal Render Pipeline, and pick one of those. Unlit is the same, and PBR has changed to Lit.

It just surprises me over and over how big unity actually is and how much you can do there. Thanks for the vid

Oh thanks a lot! All the videos I found on this topic just rush copying a super polished shader from previous work to stay at the 10 minute mark and I don't actually understand anything, finally some basics of this.

Just a big thanks for this well explained tutorial. I'm using 2020.3.18 so I needed to do some extra footwork to follow along, but it worked and I found what you had to say very useful for a total noob like me.

hey, I have a weird problem:
I installed shader graph, but one I want to create a shader, the options aren't the same.
I only have:
-standard surface shader
-unlit shader
-image effect shader
-compute shader
-ray tracing shader

HD Render shader >
blank shader graph
sub graph
VFX shader graph

is there something I missed?
