Improvements on Undo/Redo landed in 2023.3.0a10 and were backported into 2022 LTS.

We're working on speeding up undo/redo to make the Shader Graph UI performant and the data more reliable.

New Shader Subgraphs were released with the latest Production Ready Assets Sample.

This feature would allow Shader Graph users to author Material graphs from a higher level with no specific distinction between vertex and fragment stages, by connecting nodes to a Material's inputs ports such as Albedo, Displacement, Emission, etc..

This would allow Shader Graph users to edit their graphs' instance UI, to add tooltips, conditional visibility, customize the layout, use advanced widgets like min/max sliders and tiny texture slots, and more.

You would be able to disable Fog on a per graph, or per material instance basis.

Also known as portals, this will allow setting and getting a local variable for graph organization and performance purposes.

We'll create a place for you to easily see performance information for your graphs, such as: estimated instruction count, sampler count, and variant estimates.

You would be able to author shaders that use Tessellation for Universal Render Pipeline. This will allow you to dynamically add detail to your meshes.

Thanks to the success of the previous 2021.2 release, you'll eventually be able to put controls (like check boxes, and sliders) on your Sub Graph Nodes, so they can behave more like built-in nodes.

With adding nodes "Get Main Light" and "Get Additional Light”, you would be able to more easily create custom lighting in Universal Render Pipeline.

Currently you can create custom lighting in Universal Render Pipeline using the custom function node see this blog post for more information: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/07/31/custom-lighting-in-shader-graph-expanding-your-graphs-in-2019/

There are no plans to enable custom lighting in HDRP, as HDRP was built with the separation of lighting and materials on a foundational level.

You would be able to modify the ShaderGraph's vertex shader to support custom vertex behavior for use with DrawIndirect or DrawProcedural.

Full support for up to 8 texture coordinates.

You will be able to define custom collections of data and operate on them in your graph.

With this feature, you will be able to organize static branching in Shader Graphs, Sub Graphs and Custom Function Nodes.

This would give control over Source and Destination Blend Modes.

With this feature, you will be able to set "nointerpolation" on Vertex Colors, UVs and other custom interpolators.

This would allow setting the stage a Sub Graph can be used in, Vertex, Fragment or Both.

This would allow to use Keywords for dynamic branching, and reduce the number of variants when performance impact is low.

We would add inputs to the Vertex Stage for UV and COLOR.

Console warnings and errors shall point to the problem in a Graph, just like it

takes a programmer to a source code line.

Similar to Animator Controller API, this shall allow tech. artists and programmers to create and populate new graphs from C# for automation purposes.

This would let Shader Graph users set Light Mode Tag.

This would enable ZTest and ZWrite customization in Shader Graphs.

This would let adding custom #pragma and #define to Shader Graphs

With the Blit Target, users would able to author a SRP blit shader graph.

This would provide Shader Graph users the ability to customize how the SSAO texture sampling is being used in a URP Lit Material.

This would allow Shader Graph users to:

• expose a Gradient Property to the Material Inspector

• expose a Gradient Property to VFX Graph SG Output Block

• expose a Gradient Property from a Subgraph to a Shader Graph

Please let us know how we can improve your workflows with Shader Graph when using GPU Instancing with Graphics features like Graphics.RenderMeshInstanced.
