Material and Shader properties logging

[Rowlan]

I needed a script which lists the material and shader properties for comparison. Couldn’t find one on the web, so I created a quick one myself and thought I’d share, feel free to extend:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using static UnityEditor.ShaderUtil;

namespace DeveloperTools
{
    public static class MaterialAnalysis
    {
        static readonly IFormatProvider Formatter = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");

        /// <summary>
        /// Log material and shader data to the console.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="material"></param>
        public static void LogMaterial(Material material)
        {
            Shader shader = material.shader;

            string text = "";

            #region Common
            text += string.Format("Shader Name = {0}", shader.name);
            text += "\n";
            text += string.Format("Render Queue = {0}", shader.renderQueue);
            text += "\n";
            #endregion Common

            #region Shader Keywords
            text += "Shader Keywords";
            text += "\n";

            for (int i = 0; i < material.shaderKeywords.Length; i++)
            {
                text += string.Format("{0}: {1}", i, material.shaderKeywords[i]);
                text += "\n";
            }
            #endregion Shader Keywords

            #region Properties
            text += "Properties";
            text += "\n";

            for (int i = 0; i < ShaderUtil.GetPropertyCount(shader); i++)
            {
                string propertyName = ShaderUtil.GetPropertyName(shader, i);
                ShaderPropertyType propertyType = (ShaderPropertyType)ShaderUtil.GetPropertyType(shader, i);
                string propertyDescription = ShaderUtil.GetPropertyDescription(shader, i);

                string value;

                switch (propertyType)
                {
                    case ShaderPropertyType.Color: // The property holds a Vector4 value representing a color.
                        value = string.Format(Formatter, "{0}", material.GetColor(propertyName));
                        break;
                    case ShaderPropertyType.Vector: // The property holds a Vector4 value.
                        value = string.Format(Formatter, "{0}", material.GetVector(propertyName));
                        break;
                    case ShaderPropertyType.Float: // The property holds a floating number value.
                        value = string.Format(Formatter, "{0}", material.GetFloat(propertyName));
                        break;
                    case ShaderPropertyType.Range: //    The property holds a floating number value in a certain range.
                        value = string.Format(Formatter, "{0}", material.GetFloat(propertyName));
                        break;
                    case ShaderPropertyType.TexEnv: // The property holds a Texture object.
                        value = material.GetTexture(propertyName) == null ? "null" : string.Format(Formatter, "{0}", material.GetTexture(propertyName).dimension);
                        break;
                    default:
                        value = "<undefined>";
                        break;
                }

                text += string.Format("{0}: {1} = {2} ({3}, {4})", i, propertyName, value, propertyType, propertyDescription);

In case anyone needs it: I had to find out which Shader values to set after I changed the Transparent Depth Prepass on a HDRP material. So I wrote a Diff helper tool. You can find it here:

https://github.com/Roland09/MaterialAnalyzer

Long story short:

• create a gameobject and attach the MaterialPicker script to it:

• drag a gameobject with a material into the Analyzed Object slot

Buttons:

• Log Material logs the material settings into the console
• Store A stores the current material settings
• Store B stores the current material settings
• Diff A → B and Diff B → A show the respective differences

Example from changing the Transparent Depth Prepass checkbox:

Diff A -> B:
Common
Keywords
0: _DISABLE_SSR_TRANSPARENT
Properties
0: _DistortionSrcBlend = 1 (Float, Distortion Blend Src)
1: _DistortionDstBlend = 1 (Float, Distortion Blend Dst)
2: _DistortionBlurSrcBlend = 1 (Float, Distortion Blur Blend Src)
3: _DistortionBlurDstBlend = 1 (Float, Distortion Blur Blend Dst)
4: _TransparentDepthPrepassEnable = 1 (Float, _TransparentDepthPrepassEnable)
5: _StencilWriteMask = 6 (Float, _StencilWriteMask)
6: _StencilWriteMaskGBuffer = 14 (Float, _StencilWriteMaskGBuffer)
7: _StencilWriteMaskMV = 40 (Float, _StencilWriteMaskMV)
8: _AlphaDstBlend = 10 (Float, __alphaDst)
9: _ZTestModeDistortion = 4 (Float, _ZTestModeDistortion)
ShaderPasses
0: TransparentDepthPrepass = True
1: RayTracingPrepass = False

ie those are all the settings I have to apply via code if I wanted to change the Transparent Depth Prepass via code.

Or in other words: This is an example of what Unity modifies if you tick the mentioned single checkbox in the Material Inspector.
