Render Pipeline compatibility#

Unity 2021.2+#

As of Unity 2021.2, Shader Graph added a Built-In target.

Other Unity versions#

Shader Graph is only compatible with Universal Rendering Pipeline (formerly LWRP), and High Definition Rendering Pipeline.
The built-in render pipeline does not support Shader Graph.

Resolution#

• Switch render pipelines to use Shader Graph. This is generally advisable at the start of a project with an understanding of the repercussions associated with using one.
  • Switch to URP.
    A light-weight pipeline set to replace the Built-in Renderer.
  • Switch to HDRP.
    A complex high-fidelity pipeline intended for modern PCs and Consoles.
• Use an alternate solution.
  • Amplify Shader Editor.
    A fully-featured and supported shader editor on the Asset Store.
• Update your project to Unity 2021.2+, and update Shader Graph to 12.0.0+ to support built-in.
