By default, Unity compiles all shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary programs for each graphics API in the list for the current build target. To compile certain shader programs only for certain graphics APIs or platforms, for example if you use features that aren’t supported on all platforms, use a #pragma statement.
Use one of the following in the HLSLPROGRAM block of a shader:
#pragma only_renderers to compile shaders only for a specific graphics API, for example #pragma only_renderers metal.#pragma exclude_renderers to exclude shaders from compilation for a specific graphics API, for example #pragma exclude_renderers metal.You can pass multiple values by adding a space between each argument, for example #pragma only_renderers metal vulkan.
The supported values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
d3d11 |
DirectX 11 feature level 10 and above, DirectX 12 |
glcore |
OpenGL 3.x, OpenGL 4.x |
