Changelog

[v2.0.0] - 2025-5-19

  • Complete rewrite of core shader code
  • Changes to the transparency mode require upgrading existing materials
    • Menu item Tools -> Graphlit -> Upgrade Materials
    • This upgrade is automatic when swapping to a graphlit shader
  • Implemented softer shadow filtering for point and spot lights
  • Implemented inverse square falloff for built-in point and spot ligths
    • This should make previewing baked lights with physically based falloff better
    • Enabled by default for now
  • Fixed shadowmask and subtractive modes and optional bicubic shadowmask define
  • Implemeted custom specular only lighting mode for bakery shadowmask directional lights
    • Set light color alpha to 0 to enable
  • Fixed horizon occlusion
    • This prevents normal maps from pointing behind the geometry
  • VRC Volumes
  • Alpha to coverage
  • Better URP support
  • Realtime Lightmaps
  • Lightmapped specular can now also fake specular from lightprobes
  • Flip normal direction with cull face
  • ZTest
  • Cheaper specular for android
  • Microshadows for directional light
  • Mirror reflection mode
    • Samples a VRChat mirror texture instead of reflection probes
    • Normal maps currently dont affect it
  • Keyword properties pass flags option
    • Pass flags skip adding kewords to unselected shader passes
    • This reduces shader variants and stops the graph from generating code, varings and attributes for the true branch, which also helps with optimizations
  • New main shader Graphlit/Lit
    • This is mostly a direct replacement to the Lit shader recreated with the graph with some extra features
    • Separate roughness and metallic sliders when mask map is enabled with default value of 1
  • Redesigned shader inspector
    • Linear texture warning
    • new [Folder(Name)] attribute replaces the old foldout attribute
    • Added [Indent(Value)], [ShowIf(_Property, Value)], [ExtraProperty(_Property)], [HelpBox] attributes

[v1.0.0] - 2024-9-9

  • Renamed to Graphlit
  • Full custom lighting is now entierly possible in the unlit graph when enabling Custom Lighting - this creates all the passes and keywords required for lighting
  • Creating a new Lit, Toon or Unlit graph now comes by default already setup with basic nodes
  • Created a Toon sample with the new Unlit graph and the layered shadow node
  • Created a Main light node with the light color, direction, shadow attenuation and distance attenuation which works both in unlit and lit graphs
  • Fixed a bug with properties getting renamed when reordering them
  • Refactored code for the lit graph
  • Added B hotkey for split node
  • Added G hotkey for get variable node
  • Added all variable get nodes to the create nodes list
  • Removed flat shading toggle in the lit graph
  • Non linear lightprobe SH
  • Use _ to automatically create a valid reference name from the display name
  • Added more samples
  • Added a default toon
  • Added a triplanar node
  • Groups can now also be copied
  • Copying nodes now works between graphs as well
  • Non existing properties now get added automatically when copying nodes between graphs
  • Added a Specular Higlights and Reflections toggle to the lit graph
  • Implemented non important lights per pixel on the lit graph
  • Added an icon
  • Fixed loose edges in the graph view when changing nodes
  • Add toggle button for previews on the node
  • Increased height of ports on the master node
  • Improved outline scale node
  • Outline pass can now be toggled on the material
