Overview of this book

Unity is a cross-platform game engine that provides you with powerful but simple-to-use features to solve the most common problems in Game Development, such as rendering, animation, physics, sound, and effects. You’ll learn to use these features to create simple but complete games (and all the nuances needed to handle Unity). Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this book will teach you to use the Unity game engine, create C# and visual scripts, integrate graphics, sound, and animations, and manipulate physics to create interesting mechanics for your game. You’ll then code a simple AI agent to challenge the user and work with profiling tools to ensure code efficiency. Finally, you'll work with Unity's AR tools to create AR experiences for 3D apps and games before publishing them to the world. If you are interested in creating impressive, commercial-quality games that are playable on a variety of platforms, then you’ve come to the right place.

Creating shaders with Shader Graph

Now that we know how shaders work and the existing shaders in URP, we have a basic notion of when it is necessary to create a custom shader and when it is not necessary. In case you really need to create one, this section will cover the basics of effects creation with Shader Graph, a tool to create effects using a visual node-based editor. This is an easy tool to use when you are not used to coding.

In this section, we will discuss the following concepts of the Shader Graph:

  • Creating our first Shader Graph
  • Using textures
  • Combining textures
  • Applying transparency
  • Creating Vertex effects

Let’s start by seeing how we can create and use a Shader Graph.

Creating our first Shader Graph

Shader Graph is a tool that allows us to create custom effects using a node-based system. An effect in the Shader Graph can look like in the following screenshot:
