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.
The search bar also enables filtering of modified properties | Right-click to paste property values according to their type |

-
Make sure your environment is compatible with LWGUI: Unity 2017.4+
-
Open your project
-
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
- You can also choose to manually download the Zip from Github,then:
- Create a newer or use the existing Shader
- Open the Shader in the code editor
- At the bottom of the Shader, before the last large bracket, add line:
CustomEditor "LWGUI.LWGUI"
- 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

- Tooltip may disappear when the Editor is running. This is a feature of Unity itself (or a bug)

Tips:
- LWGUI uses a tree data structure to store the relationship between Group, Advanced Block and their children. In theory, it can store unlimited multi-level parent-child relationships, but currently LWGUI only manually handles 3-level parent-child relationships, which means you can put an Advanced Block in a Group, but a Group cannot be placed in an Advanced Block.

-
Custom Headers and Footers enable you to integrate bespoke modules at the top or bottom of the ShaderGUI without altering LWGUI plugin code.
-
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
-
Modify the file name and class name accordingly.
-
Implement your custom GUI code within the DoCustomHeader() / DoCustomFooter() functions.
-
It is advisable to examine the lwgui object definition to obtain any requisite data.
