Implementing a simple a Shader Graph

To get acquainted with the interface of the Shader Graph, let's create something similar to what we have seen before by sampling a texture to create a simple shader.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have created a project using the Lightweight Render Pipeline, as described in the Create a Shader Graph project recipe. Afterward, complete the following steps:

1. Create a new scene, if you haven't done so already, by going to File | New Scene
2. Afterward, we need to have something to show our shader, so let's create a new sphere by going to Game Object | 3D Object| Sphere:

How to do it...

We will start off by creating a simple shader graph.

1. From the Project window, create a new shader by going to Create | Shader | PBR Graph, and name it SimpleGraph.
2. Afterward, create a new material by going to Create | Material (I named mine SimpleGraphMat). Next, assign the shader to the material by selecting the Material, then from the Inspector tab, you should select the Shader dropdown...
