See in Glossary keywords, using them to create branches and shader variants, and toggling them in the Unity Editor or in a script.
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| Shader keywords fundamentals | Learn about defining shader keywords to create shaders that share some common code, but have different functionality when you enable or disable a keyword. |
| Shader keyword scope fundamentals | Learn about local and global keyword scope in shaders, and local and global keywords in C#. |
| Choose which type of conditional to use in shaders | Choose static branching, dynamic branching, or shader variants. |
| Declare shader keywords | Use a #pragma directive in HLSL code to declare keywords. |
| Make shader behavior conditional on keywords | Use an if statement in HLSL code, or a pre-processor directive, to mark parts of your shader code conditional based on whether you enable or disable a shader keyword. |
| Toggle shader keywords with the Inspector window | Add material properties for shader keywords. |
| Toggle and check shader keywords in a script | Check if a keyword is enabled or disabled, and enable and disable it. |
| Built-in keywords | Resources for the default shader keywords in Unity, and creating sets of built-in keywords. |
