Shader Graph
Shader Graph is a tool in real-time graphics that lets designers build visual effects and surface appearances by connecting simple blocks together, like building with digital Lego. Each block controls a part of how an object looks, such as its color, shine, or how it reacts to light. Designers can see changes instantly as they work, which helps them quickly try out new ideas for materials and effects. This visual way of working means designers do not need to write code to create complex looks for objects in games or interactive projects. Shader Graph can use time or movement to make effects that change, such as water that ripples or lights that flicker, which is important for making scenes feel alive in real-time graphics.
