Question by TommiH · Jul 23, 2012 at 07:14 PM · shaderpropertieshidden

What built-in shader properties are there?

Hello.

I read that I can access a camera's depth map from a shader simply by referencing _CameraDepthTexture. Now I'm wondering what other similar hidden built-in properties there are that I don't know about and that could be of use. Shadow maps perhaps? Something else? Is there a list somewhere that I've missed?

Yep, that's why I was wondering. The documentation doesn't seem to quite include all the information...

I'm looking for the same answer. I found someone said _CameraDepthTexture is global shader property. the link is here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/59956/retrieving-depth-buffer-of-a-frame.html

Thanks for the link, but I already know about _CameraDepthTexture. I'm wondering what other similar things there are.

Thanks, but that's not the answer I was looking for. I already knew about _CameraDepthTexture. I would like a comprehensive list of all other such properties.

perhaps you can check the UnityCG.cginc file to looking some built-in structs/functions. the file is located in %UNITY_HO$$anonymous$$E%/Editor/Data/CGIncludes folder.
