A Shader Graph enables you to build your shaders visually. Instead of hand writing code you create and connect nodes in a graph network. You can do things like:

• Procedurally alter your surface appearance
• Warp and animate UVs
• Modify the look of your objects using familiar image adjustment operations
• Change your object’s surface based on useful information about it, its world location, normals, distance from camera, etc.
• Expose to the material inspector what you think is important to edit for your shader
• Share node networks between multiple graphs and users by creating subgraphs
• Create your own custom shader graph nodes through C# and HLSL

The graph framework gives instant feedback on the changes, and it’s simple enough that new users can become involved in shader creation.
