Object Node

Description

Provides access to various parameters of the currently rendering Object.

Note: The behaviour of the Position Port can be defined per Render Pipeline. Different Render Pipelines may produce different results. If you're building a shader in one Render Pipeline that you want to use in both, try checking it in both pipelines before production.

Unity Render Pipelines Support

• Universal Render Pipeline
• High Definition Render Pipeline

Ports

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
Position	Output	Vector 3	None	Object position in world space
Scale	Output	Vector 3	None	Object scale in world space
World Bounds Min	Output	Vector 3	None	Minimum value of the renderer bounds in world space
World Bounds Max	Output	Vector 3	None	Maximum value of the renderer bounds in world space
Bounds Size	Output	Vector 3	None	Size of the renderer bounds

Note: the bounds values are the equivalent of the bounds in the renderer component. This means that vertex deformation done in ShaderGraph doesn't affect these values.

Generated Code Example

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

float3 _Object_Position = SHADERGRAPH_OBJECT_POSITION;
float3 _Object_Scale = float3(length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].x, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].x, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].x)),
                             length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].y, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].y, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].y)),
                             length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].z, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].z, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].z)));
float3 _Object_WorldBoundsMin = SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MIN;
float3 _Object_WorldBoundsMax = SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MAX;
float3 _Object_BoundsSize = (SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MAX - SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MIN);
