Implement ray tracing with Shader Graph

To use ray-traced effects with Shader Graph, use the Raytracing Quality Keyword node. This node exchanges accuracy for speed, except for Path-Traced effects which aren't affected and use the default path.

Add the Raytracing Quality Keyword node

The Raytracing Quality Keyword node is a Built-in Keyword node .

To add the Raytracing Quality Keyword node to the graph:

1. In the Blackboard, click plus (+).
2. Go to Keyword > Raytracing Quality. This creates the keyword and makes it visible on the Blackboard.

Use the Raytracing Quality keyword node

To use this keyword in the graph, you need to create a Keyword Node. To do this, drag the Raytracing Quality Keyword node from the Blackboard to the graph or open the Create Node Menu and search for Raytracing Quality .
