This section contains information on how to add GPU instancing support to a custom Unity shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary. It first explains the shader keywords, variables, and functions custom Unity shaders require to support GPU instancing. Then it includes examples of how to add per-instance data to both surface shadersA streamlined way of writing shaders for the Built-in Render Pipeline. More info
See in Glossary and vertex/fragment shaders.
