Expose RenderType on templates?

[teofilobd]

Hi,

Is there a way of exposing the RenderType tag (or any other tag) in user-defined templates (just like when you use a 'surface shader')?

Cheers

Hello,

We have actually just updated ASE in order to allow that type of manipulation, Shader tags can now be modified on template based shaders.



Let us know if you have any followup questions, we would be happy to help.

Thanks!

That's what I needed! Thanks!

No problem, happy to help!

Hi Ricardo,

I updated amplify, but the tag option is still not showing up. Do I need to put something else besides the /*ase_tags*/ in the template?

Hello teofilobd,

/*ase_tags*/ has been removed in this last update as we're updating ASE to support a couple of new features, now you only need to make use of Tags{ } at the beginning of the SubShader, in the near future we'll allow for the use of tags within each pass but for now you must place it in this specified line.

Hi,

It's still not working
I'm using Amplify v1.4.3 dev 01 (did a fresh install) on Unity 2017.2.0p4

And this is my template:

Code: Select all

Shader /*ase_name*/ "ASETemplateShaders/Test" /*end*/
{
   Properties
   {
      /*ase_props*/
   }
   
   SubShader
   {
      Tags { }
      LOD 100
      Cull Back
      /*ase_pass*/

      Pass
      {
         CGPROGRAM
         #pragma target 3.0
         #pragma vertex vert
         #pragma fragment frag
         #include "UnityCG.cginc"
         /*ase_pragma*/

         struct appdata
         {
            float4 vertex : POSITION;
            UNITY_VERTEX_INPUT_INSTANCE_ID
            /*ase_vdata:p=p*/
         };
         
         struct v2f
         {
            float4 vertex : SV_POSITION;
            UNITY_VERTEX_OUTPUT_STEREO
            /*ase_interp(1,7):sp=sp.xyzw*/
         };

         /*ase_globals*/
         
         v2f vert ( appdata v /*ase_vert_input*/)
         {
            v2f o;
            UNITY_SETUP_INSTANCE_ID(v);
            UNITY_INITIALIZE_VERTEX_OUTPUT_STEREO(o);
            
            // ase common template code
            /*ase_vert_code:v=appdata;o=v2f*/
            
            v.vertex.xyz += /*ase_vert_out:Local Vertex;Float3*/ float3(0,0,0) /*end*/;
            o.vertex = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
            return o;
         }
         
         fixed4 frag (v2f i /*ase_frag_input*/) : SV_Target
         {
            fixed4 myColorVar;
            // ase common template code
            /*ase_frag_code:i=v2f*/
            
            myColorVar = /*ase_frag_out:Frag Color;Float4*/fixed4(1,0,0,1)/*end*/;
            return myColorVar;
         }
         ENDCG
      }
   }
   CustomEditor "ASEMaterialInspector"
}

Apologies for not confirming your ASE version earlier, your current version does not include the intended feature, you should download the latest one available through our download page, v1.4.3.002 – 26th January 2018, where added Shader tag modification on template based shaders.

We always upload the latest version to our website, as it may take a couple of days for it to be approved and show up on the Asset store, please let us know if everything is fine on your end after updating, thanks!

[teofilobd]

It worked! Thanks!
