// Property attribute drawers | |
// [HideInInspector] - does not show the property value in the material inspector. | |
// [NoScaleOffset] - material inspector will not show texture tiling/offset fields for texture properties with this attribute. | |
// [Normal] - indicates that a texture property expects a normal-map. | |
// [HDR] - indicates that a texture property expects a high-dynamic range (HDR) texture. | |
// [Gamma] - indicates that a float/vector property is specified as sRGB value in the UI (just like colors are), and possibly needs conversion according to color space used. See Properties in Shader Programs. | |
// [PerRendererData] - indicates that a texture property will be coming from per-renderer data in the form of a MaterialPropertyBlock. Material inspector changes the texture slot UI for these properties. | |
// [Enum(UnityEngine.Rendering.BlendMode)] _Blend ("Blend mode", Float) = 1 - blend modes selection. | |
// [Toggle(ENABLE_FANCY)] _Fancy ("Fancy?", Float) = 0 - Will set "ENABLE_FANCY" shader keyword when set. | |
// [KeywordEnum(None, Add, Multiply)] _Overlay ("Overlay mode", Float) = 0 - Display a popup with None,Add,Multiply choices. Each option will set _OVERLAY_NONE, _OVERLAY_ADD, _OVERLAY_MULTIPLY shader keywords. | |
// [Enum(UnityEngine.Rendering.CompareFunction)] _ZTest("ZTest", Float) = 0 | |
// [Enum(UnityEngine.Rendering.CullMode)] _CullMode("Cull Mode", Int) = 0 | |
// Later on in the shader’s fixed function parts, property values can be accessed using property name in square brackets: [name] e.g. Blend [_SrcBlend] [_DstBlend]. | |

Tags { "TagName1" = "Value1" "TagName2" = "Value2" } | |
// Queue tag: | |
// Background - this render queue is rendered before any others. You’d typically use this for things that really need to be in the background. | |
// Geometry (default) - this is used for most objects. Opaque geometry uses this queue. | |
// AlphaTest - alpha tested geometry uses this queue. It’s a separate queue from Geometry one since it’s more efficient to render alpha-tested objects after all solid ones are drawn. | |
// Transparent - this render queue is rendered after Geometry and AlphaTest, in back-to-front order. Anything alpha-blended (i.e. shaders that don’t write to depth buffer) should go here (glass, particle effects). | |
// Overlay - this render queue is meant for overlay effects. Anything rendered last should go here (e.g. lens flares). | |
// RenderType tag: (Can you custom values and use Camera.RenderWithShader or Camera.SetReplacementShader to render camera with selected subshader e.g. replacementTag="RenderType=Transparent" | |
// Opaque: most of the shaders (Normal, Self Illuminated, Reflective, terrain shaders). | |
// Transparent: most semitransparent shaders (Transparent, Particle, Font, terrain additive pass shaders). | |
// TransparentCutout: masked transparency shaders (Transparent Cutout, two pass vegetation shaders). | |
// Background: Skybox shaders. | |
// Overlay: GUITexture, Halo, Flare shaders. | |
// TreeOpaque: terrain engine tree bark. | |
// TreeTransparentCutout: terrain engine tree leaves. | |
// TreeBillboard: terrain engine billboarded trees. | |
// Grass: terrain engine grass. | |
// GrassBillboard: terrain engine billboarded grass. | |
// RequireOptions tag: | |
// SoftVegetation: Render this pass only if Soft Vegetation is on in Quality Settings. | |
// DisableBatching tag | |
// True, False, LODFading | |
// ForceNoShadowCasting tag | |
// IgnoreProjector tag | |
// CanUseSpriteAtlas tag | |
// PreviewType tag | |
// Sphere, Plane, Skybox | |
GrabPass { } | |
// Just GrabPass { } will grab current screen contents into a texture. The texture can be accessed in further passes by _GrabTexture name. | |
// Note: this form of grab pass will do the expensive screen grabbing operation for each object that uses it! | |
// GrabPass { "TextureName" } will grab screen contents into a texture, but will only do that once per frame for the first object that uses the given texture name. | |
// The texture can be accessed in further passes by the given texture name. This is a more performant way when you have multiple objects using grab pass in the scene. | |
// Additionally, GrabPass can use Name and Tags commands. | |
UsePass "Shader/Name" | |
// Inserts all passes with a given name from a given shader. Shader/Name contains the name of the shader and the name of the pass, separated by a slash character. | |
// Note that only first supported subshader is taken into account. | |
Pass { | |
Name "Pass Name" | |
Tags { "TagName1" = "Value1" "TagName2" = "Value2" } | |
// LightMode tag: | |
// Always: Always rendered; no lighting is applied. | |
// ForwardBase: Used in Forward rendering, ambient, main directional light, vertex/SH lights and lightmaps are applied. | |
// ForwardAdd: Used in Forward rendering; additive per-pixel lights are applied, one pass per light. | |
// Deferred: Used in Deferred Shading; renders g-buffer. | |
// ShadowCaster: Renders object depth into the shadowmap or a depth texture. | |
// PrepassBase: Used in legacy Deferred Lighting, renders normals and specular exponent. | |
// PrepassFinal: Used in legacy Deferred Lighting, renders final color by combining textures, lighting and emission. | |
// Vertex: Used in legacy Vertex Lit rendering when object is not lightmapped; all vertex lights are applied. | |
// VertexLMRGBM: Used in legacy Vertex Lit rendering when object is lightmapped; on platforms where lightmap is RGBM encoded (PC & console). | |
// VertexLM: Used in legacy Vertex Lit rendering when object is lightmapped; on platforms where lightmap is double-LDR encoded (mobile platforms). | |
// Render setup | |

CGPROGRAM | |
#pragma vertex name // compile function name as the vertex shader. | |
#pragma fragment name // compile function name as the fragment shader. | |
#pragma geometry name // compile function name as DX10 geometry shader. Having this option automatically turns on #pragma target 4.0, described below. | |
#pragma hull name // compile function name as DX11 hull shader. Having this option automatically turns on #pragma target 5.0, described below. | |
#pragma domain name // compile function name as DX11 domain shader. Having this option automatically turns on #pragma target 5.0, described below. | |
// Other compilation directives: | |
// #pragma target name - which shader target to compile to. See Shader Compilation Targets page for details. | |
// #pragma only_renderers space separated names - compile shader only for given renderers. By default shaders are compiled for all renderers. See Renderers below for details. | |
// #pragma exclude_renderers space separated names - do not compile shader for given renderers. By default shaders are compiled for all renderers. See Renderers below for details. | |
// #pragma multi_compile - for working with multiple shader variants. | |
// #pragma shader_feature - for working with multiple shader variants. (unused variants of shader_feature shaders will not be included into game build) | |
// #pragma enable_d3d11_debug_symbols - generate debug information for shaders compiled for DirectX 11, this will allow you to debug shaders via Visual Studio 2012 (or higher) Graphics debugger. | |
// #pragma multi_compile_instancing | |
// VARIABLES | |
// Color and Vector properties map to float4, half4 or fixed4 variables. | |
// Range and Float properties map to float, half or fixed variables. | |
// Texture properties map to sampler2D variables for regular (2D) textures; Cubemaps map to samplerCUBE; and 3D textures map to sampler3D. | |
// Shader property values are found and provided to shaders from these places: | |
// Per-Renderer values set in MaterialPropertyBlock. This is typically “per-instance” data (e.g. customized tint color for a lot of objects that all share the same material). | |
// Values set in the Material that’s used on the rendered object. | |
// Global shader properties, set either by Unity rendering code itself (see built-in shader variables), or from your own scripts (e.g. Shader.SetGlobalTexture). | |
// Simple VS and FS example | |

// Functions in UnityCG.cginc | |
// uv - UV texture coordinates. Either a float2 for a standard UV or a float4 for a packed pair of two UVs. | |
// sb - A float4 containing a 2D scale and 2D bias to be applied to the UV, with scale in xy and bias in zw. | |
// Description: Returns the result of applying the scale and bias in sb to the texture coordinates in uv. | |
// This only occurs when UNITY_SINGLE_PASS_STEREO is defined, otherwise the texture coordinates are returned unmodified. | |
// This is often used to apply a per-eye scale and bias only when in Single-Pass Stereo rendering mode. | |
UnityStereoScreenSpaceUVAdjust(uv, sb) | |
// uv - UV texture coordinates. Either a float2 for a standard UV or a float4 for a packed pair of two UVs. | |
// Description: Returns the result of applying the current eye’s scale and bias to the texture coordinates in uv. | |
// This only occurs when UNITY_SINGLE_PASS_STEREO is defined, otherwise the texture coordinates are returned unaltered. | |
UnityStereoTransformScreenSpaceTex(uv) | |
// uv - UV texture coordinates. Either a float2 for a standard UV or a float4 for a packed pair of two UVs. | |
// sb - A float4 containing a 2D scale and 2D bias to be applied to the UV, with scale in xy and bias in zw. | |
// Description: Returns the uv clamped in the x value by the width and bias provided by sb. This only occurs | |
// when UNITY_SINGLE_PASS_STEREO is defined, otherwise the texture coordinates are returned unmodified. | |
// This is often used to apply a per-eye clamping in Single-Pass Stereo rendering mode to avoid color bleeding between eyes. | |
UnityStereoClamp(uv, sb) | |
ComputeNonStereoScreenPos | |
ComputeScreenPos | |
// Additionally, the constant unity_StereoEyeIndex is exposed in Shaders, so eye-dependent calculations can be performed. | |
// The value of unity_StereoEyeIndex is 0 for rendering of the left eye, and 1 for rendering of the right eye. | |
