Object Node#

Description#

Provides access to various parameters of the currently rendering Object.

Note: The behaviour of the Position Port can be defined per Render Pipeline. Different Render Pipelines may produce different results. If you're building a shader in one Render Pipeline that you want to use in both, try checking it in both pipelines before production.

Unity Render Pipelines Support#

Ports#

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
Position	Output	Vector 3	None	Object position in world space
Scale	Output	Vector 3	None	Object scale in world space
World Bounds Min	Output	Vector 3	None	Minimum value of the renderer bounds in world space
World Bounds Max	Output	Vector 3	None	Maximum value of the renderer bounds in world space
Bounds Size	Output	Vector 3	None	Size of the renderer bounds

Note: the bounds values are the equivalent of the bounds in the renderer component. This means that vertex deformation done in ShaderGraph doesn't affect these values.

Generated Code Example#

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

float3 _Object_Position = SHADERGRAPH_OBJECT_POSITION;
float3 _Object_Scale = float3(length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].x, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].x, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].x)),
                             length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].y, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].y, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].y)),
                             length(float3(UNITY_MATRIX_M[0].z, UNITY_MATRIX_M[1].z, UNITY_MATRIX_M[2].z)));
float3 _Object_WorldBoundsMin = SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MIN;
float3 _Object_WorldBoundsMax = SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MAX;
float3 _Object_BoundsSize = (SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MAX - SHADERGRAPH_RENDERER_BOUNDS_MIN);
