First, Shader Graph forum is this way → Unity Engine - Unity Discussions

Second, you just need a Normal Vector node set to View space, multiply by 0.5, add 0.5, and pipe that into the UVs of the matcap texture.

OK i tried this and it doesnt seem to work. Material is black without lights in scene.

As it should be. Look up the definition of Albedo.

Use an Unlit Master Node.

here is my version of Shader Graph Matcap. With exposed Power / Factor variable for design tweaks. And introdused as subgraph, for easier combine with other your graph-shaders.

and here are ready-to-use matcap graphs.

  • Unlit Albedo + Additive MatCap
  • Unlit Albedo + Multiply MatCap
  • Unlit Albedo + Blend MatCap (you can switch blend operation inside graph)
