Use when a Unity 6.3 URP task involves shaders: hand-written HLSL, Shader Graph water, toon, dissolve or outline, Custom Function nodes, a renderer feature or full-screen effect on Render Graph, compute shaders, shader variants, keywords, stripping, Shader Build Settings, PSO warm-up, or shader cost; or when a material turns pink or invisible, casts no shadow, ignores extra lights under Forward+, an effect 'does nothing', the game stutters the first time something appears, or builds bloat with variants.

When to use

• hand-written HLSL
• Shader Graph water, toon, dissolve or outline
• Custom Function nodes
• renderer feature or full-screen effect on Render Graph
• compute shaders
• shader variants, keywords, stripping
• PSO warm-up
• shader cost

When not to use

• new graph wiring
