Shader Forge is a node-based shader editor plugin for Unity that lets users create shaders visually without writing code. This repository is a community-maintained fork receiving occasional compatibility updates for newer Unity versions.

Use cases

  • create shaders in unity without writing code
  • node-based shader editor for unity
  • visual shader graph tool
  • edit unity shaders with a gui
  • build custom materials for unity games

When to choose

  • you want a visual, node-based workflow for authoring Unity shaders
  • you're on an older Unity version (5.x+) that Shader Forge supports
  • you prefer editing shaders without writing HLSL by hand

When to avoid

  • you're on the latest Unity versions where the built-in Shader Graph is better supported
  • you need actively maintained software with guaranteed updates
  • you need a project with a clear license file in the repository
