Shader Graph improvements in Unity 6.3

[FredMoreau]

Hi @nickdevprod,

@nickdevprod

why is shader graph still developed? I thought shader graph 2 is going to replace it?

we addressed this question already.

@FredMoreau

Yes, like @BenCloward said, we are working on SG2 and will share more information when we can.

SG2 is not only a complete rewrite of Shader Graph using Graph Tool Kit (GTK), but also leverages Block Shaders. Indeed, forward compatibility, while not trivial, is high on the priority list.

Now, to share some thoughts on our prioritization strategy. We appreciate that SG1 is what you, the users, are using today, and will be using for some time until SG2 eventually reaches feature parity and is considered the default. So while we won’t invest engineering time in adding features we already have in SG2 – like portals – we still want to improve with SG1, for it gives us the opportunity to deliver improvements sooner in every version.
This sets requirements for SG2, helps us evaluate UX design challenges early on, and allows us to take your feedback, all while improving your experience.

I hope this helps framing our strategy.
