LWGUI (Light Weight Shader GUI)

中文 | English

A Lightweight, Flexible, Powerful Unity Shader GUI system.

Having been validated through numerous large-scale commercial projects, employing a succinct Material Property Drawer syntax allows for the realization of powerful Shader GUIs, substantially reducing development time, fostering ease of use and extensibility, and elevating the user experience for artists effectively.

Installation

  1. Make sure your environment is compatible with LWGUI

    • LWGUI <1.17: Unity 2017.4+

    • LWGUI >=1.17: Unity 2021.3+

      • Recommended minimum version: Unity 2022.2+, lower versions can be used but may have bugs
  2. Open your project

  3. Window > Package Manager > Add > Add package from git URL , enter: https://github.com/JasonMa0012/LWGUI.git

    • You can also choose to manually download the Zip from Github,then: Package Manager > Add package from disk
    • For Unity 2017, please extract the Zip directly to the Assets directory

Usage

Getting Started

  1. Create a newer or use the existing Shader
  2. Open the Shader in the code editor
  3. At the bottom of the Shader, before the last large bracket, add line:CustomEditor "LWGUI.LWGUI"
  4. Completed! Start using the following powerful Drawer to easily draw your Shader GUI
    • MaterialPropertyDrawer is C#-like attribute syntax, it can be used in front of shader properties to change the drawing method, more information can be found in the official documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MaterialPropertyDrawer.html
    • Each Property can only have one Drawer
    • Each Property can have multiple Decorators

You must manually Save the edit results, if there are unsaved changes, the Save button will display yellow.

When you move or copy the Ramp Map, remember to move together with the .meta file, otherwise you will not be able to edit it again!

C#

Example:

public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
    public LwguiGradient lwguiGradientSrgb = new LwguiGradient();

    [LwguiGradientUsage(ColorSpace.Linear, LwguiGradient.ChannelMask.RGB, LwguiGradient.GradientTimeRange.TwentyFourHundred)]
    public LwguiGradient lwguiGradientLinear = new LwguiGradient();
}

Result:

image-20240717104144821image-20240717104206365

Default display settings can be set using the LwguiGradientUsage() Attribute.

Gradient Editor

The new LWGUI Gradient Editor integrates with Unity's built-in Gradient Editor and Curve Editor, enabling more powerful features than UE's Gradient Editor.

image-20241126110012922

EditorDescription
Time RangeThe display range of the horizontal axis, selectable from 0-1 / 0-24 / 0-2400, is very useful when the horizontal axis is time. Note that only the display is affected, the actual value stored in the horizontal axis is always 0-1.
ChannelsThe channels displayed. Can be displayed individually.
sRGB PreviewIt should be checked when the value of Gradient is a color to preview the correct color, otherwise it doesn't need to be checked. Only affects the display, Gradient and Ramp Map are always stored as Linear.
Value / R / G / B / AUsed to edit the Value of the selected Key, you can edit the Value of multiple Keys at the same time.
TimeUsed to edit the Time of the selected Key, you can edit the Time of multiple Keys at the same time. If you enter a number manually, you must press enter to end the editing.
Gradient EditorThis is similar to Unity's built-in Gradient Editor, but the Alpha channels are separated into black and white. <br/>Note that adding keys from the Gradient Editor is limited to a maximum of 8 keys, adding keys from the Curve Editor is unlimited. Exceeding the key limit will not affect preview or usage.
Curve EditorSimilar to Unity's built-in Curve Editor, it displays the XY 0-1 range by default, and you can use the scroll wheel to zoom or move the display range.<br/>As you can see in the image below, the context menu has a number of functions for controlling the shape of the curve, and you can consult the Unity documentation to get the most out of these functions.
PresetsYou can save the current LWGUI Gradient as a preset and apply it anytime. These presets are common between different engine versions on the local computer, but are not saved to the project.

///		*any Preset in the entire project cannot have the same name*
public PresetDrawer(string presetFileName) : this("_", presetFileName) {}

``````
    
Cull [_Cull]
ZWrite [_ZWrite]
Blend [_SrcBlend] [_DstBlend]
ColorMask [_ColorMask]

Result:

The Property Value in the selected Preset will be the default value

RenderQueue is a Hard-Coded Property Name, you need to manually add it to the preset

Custom Shader GUI

Custom Header and Footer

image-20230821211652918

  1. Custom Headers and Footers enable you to integrate bespoke modules at the top or bottom of the ShaderGUI without altering LWGUI plugin code.

  2. Depending on the desired location for the custom GUI, duplicate the following script into an Editor folder within your project:

    • Top: Packages/com.jasonma.lwgui/Editor/CustomGUISample/CustomHeader.cs
    • Bottom: Packages/com.jasonma.lwgui/Editor/CustomGUISample/CustomFooter.cs
  3. Modify the file name and class name accordingly.

  4. Implement your custom GUI code within the DoCustomHeader() / DoCustomFooter() functions.

  5. It is advisable to examine the lwgui object definition to obtain any requisite data.
