Unity Script Reference:

ShaderNamespace: UnityEngine
Parent class: Object

Description

Shader scripts used for all rendering.

Most of the advanced rendering is controlled via Material class. Shader class is mostly used just to check whether a shader can run on the user's hardware (isSupported property) and to find shaders by name (Find method).

See Also: Material class, Materials, ShaderLab documentation.

Static Variables

globalMaximumLOD	Shader LOD level for all shaders.

Variables

isSupported	Can this shader run on the end-users graphics card? (Read Only)
maximumLOD	Shader LOD level for this shader.
renderQueue	Render queue of this shader. (Read Only)

Constructors

Shader

Static Functions

Find	Finds a shader with the given name.
PropertyToID	Gets unique identifier for a shader property name.
SetGlobalBuffer
SetGlobalColor	Sets a global color property for all shaders.
SetGlobalFloat	Sets a global float property for all shaders.
SetGlobalInt
SetGlobalMatrix	Sets a global matrix property for all shaders.
SetGlobalTexture	Sets a global texture property for all shaders.
SetGlobalVector	Sets a global vector property for all shaders.
WarmupAllShaders	Fully load all shaders to prevent future performance hiccups.

Inherited members

Variables

hideFlags	Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?
m_CachedPtr
m_InstanceID
name	The name of the object.

Functions

GetHashCode
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Static Functions

Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

bool	Does the object exist?
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same.
