Sub Graphs
A Sub Graph is a type of shader graph that you include in other shader graphs. Use a Sub Graph to perform the same operations multiple times within a single shader graph, or across multiple shader graphs. It's similar to a reusable function in programming.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Introduction to Sub Graphs | Learn about how a Sub Graph differs from a regular shader graph, and refer to example Sub Graphs. |
| Create a Sub Graph | Create a Sub Graph from existing nodes, or create an empty Sub Graph. |
| Add a Sub Graph to a shader graph | Add a Sub Graph node to a shader graph. |
| Add inputs and outputs to a Sub Graph | To pass data in and out of a Sub Graph, create input and output ports. |
| Change how Sub Graph inputs appear on a node | Display a float input as a slider or dropdown, or set an input value on the node instead of a port. |
| Set default inputs for a Sub Graph | Add default values for the inputs of a Sub Graph. |
| Change the behavior of a Sub Graph with a dropdown | Add a Dropdown node to change the behavior of a Sub Graph using a dropdown menu. |
| Expose a Sub Graph property in the Inspector window | Set a property or keyword as belonging to the main shader instead of a Sub Graph. This process is known as promoting the property, or creating a nested property. |
