Discover Unity 6.5’s powerful new Shader Function Reflection API. Write normal HLSL functions, add minimal boilerplate, and Unity automatically turns them into fully-featured Shader Graph nodes with proper ports, color pickers, sliders, and even multiple outputs. No Custom Function node hassle and no C# required. In this video we build a scrolling UV node, a colorize effect, and a complete procedural lava material — all from clean HLSL with live hot reload.
