Shader Variant List Import Settings Inspector window reference

Explore the properties and settings in the Inspector window of a Shader Variant List asset. Use a shader variant list to control which shader variants Unity keeps or strips when you build graphics tests.

For more information, refer to Strip shader variants from test builds.

Logs operations

Property	Description
Update Shader Variants From Player.log	Replaces the current shader variant list with the shader variants from a `Player.log` file. For more information about `Player.log` files, refer to Unity log files.
Aggregate Shader Variants From Player.log	Adds the shader variants from a `Player.log` file to the current shader variants.

Shader Variant Collection Operations

Property	Description
Update Shader Variants From SVC	Replaces the current shader variant list with the shader variants from a shader variant collection asset. For more information, refer to Shader Variant Collection.
Aggregate Shader Variants From SVC	Adds the shader variants from a shader variant collection asset to the current shader variants.

Other settings

Property	Description
Clear All Data	Removes all shader variant entries from the list.
Log all duplicated variants	Logs shader variants that have different keyword combinations but compile into identical code. Use this property to find unneeded keywords in your shader passes. Unity writes the results to a `DuplicatedVariants.log` file in the root folder of your project.
Enabled	Keeps the shader variants in the list during tests and removes other shader variants.
Target Platform	Sets the platform the shader variant list targets. Unity matches this value against the graphics API of the current build, to determine which shader variant list to use.
XR	Selects shader variants that support XR rendering.

Serialized Shader Variants

Displays the list of shader variants that Unity keeps during shader stripping.

Property	Description
Shader Name	The name of the shader.
Pass Name	The name of the shader pass.
Stage	The shader stage type, for example Vertex, Fragment, or Geometry.
Keywords	The shader keywords of the shader variant.

Serialized Compute Shader Variants

Displays the list of compute shader variants that Unity keeps during shader stripping.

Property	Description
Compute Shader Name	The name of the compute shader.
Kernel Name	The name of the compute shader kernel.
Keywords	The shader keywords of the shader variant.
