Hello, I have just got your amplify shader editor and have been trying to get it setup properly...

I was using unity 2018.2.14f1

I am now using Unity 2018.2.15f1

The problem is the same in both...

I am using the Lightweight Render Pipeline

on inporting the asset, there are a bunch of errors (60)

All seem to start with

Code: Select all

Shader properties can't be added to this global property sheet. Trying to ad

for example the first one is

Code: Select all

Shader properties can't be added to this global property sheet. Trying to add _GrabTexture (type 3 count 1)UnityEditor.AssetPreviewUpdater:CreatePreviewForAsset(Object, Object[], String)

I tried just clearing the errors, but it seems things are broken for example I need to install the LWSRPTemplates.unitypackage - but it doesnt have a proper icon and doesnt seem to work as intended.

The package does extract but with more errors...

Code: Select all

Shader error in 'Hidden/Templates/LightWeightSRPUnlit': failed to open source file: 'Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.lightweight/ShaderLibrary/Core.hlsl' at line 52 (on d3d11)

Code: Select all

Shader error in 'Hidden/Templates/LightWeightSRPPBR': failed to open source file: 'Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.lightweight/ShaderLibrary/Core.hlsl' at line 67 (on d3d11)

I still tried to make a shader and just plugged a colour node in to the albedo as lightweight pipeline and I get the following error..

Code: Select all

Shader error in 'Test Substance': failed to open source file: 'Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.lightweight/ShaderLibrary/Core.hlsl' at line 238 (on d3d11)


This only seems to be happening on the lightweight render pipeline, if I put ASE in standard surface shader mode that works fine.

any help to get this working would be great

thanks in advance for your time and effort

p.s I have also downloaded and reinstalled the asset several times without any luck

Hello, thank you for getting in touch and for your support!

Regarding the issue you've encountered, we provide two distinct packages for each template, LW or HD, that are compatible with different SRP versions. We've had to offer distinct templates due to the extensive internal changes that have occurred between versions 3.0.0 and 4.0.0+.

After importing and installing the LWRP through Unity's Package Manager, extract only one of the following template packages that are located within the Assets > AmplifyShaderEditor > Plugins > EditorResources > Templates > SRP folder:

- LWSRPTemplates (Legacy).unitypackage for LW RP 3.0.0 and below
- LWSRPTemplates.unitypackage for LW RP 4.0.0 and above

I assume you're on the 3.0.0 judging from the Unity version you're using.

Please let me know if this helps!
