## What it is
A collection of example shaders built with Unity's Shader Graph, targeting the Lightweight Scriptable Render Pipeline. It includes examples for mesh renderers, particles, procedural animations, sprites, and scenario shaders like triplanar grass.

## Use cases
- learn Unity Shader Graph through examples
- find ready-made shaders for Unity LWRP projects
- study procedural shader animations without textures
- get particle and sprite shader examples
- implement triplanar grass or vertex offset effects

## When to choose
- you use Unity 2018.3 with the Lightweight SRP and want shader examples
- you are learning Shader Graph node-based shader authoring
- you want a starting point to modify or extract shaders from

## When to avoid
- you use a different engine or render pipeline (e.g., HDRP, URP newer versions)
- you need production-supported, licensed software (no license file is provided)
- you need actively maintained or updated shaders (last release 2020)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, game-engine
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, shader-graph, shaders, shaderlab, render-pipeline, example-library, game-development
