Description

Identifies a specific variant of a shader.

In Unity, many shaders internally have multiple "variants", to account for different light modes, lightmaps, shadows and so on. These variants are indentified by a shader pass type, and a set of shader keywords. See ShaderVariantCollection.

Note that creating a ShaderVariant will throw an ArgumentException if shader is null, pass type does not exist or variant with the passed keywords is not found.

Variables
