Feature Request Add Curve Node.

I hope to use it in shaders.

 

More like you need vector property that show curve inspector and custom node that translate vector to curve function

 

Hi,

This is a nice idea (and something I've thought about before). Honestly, the only reason we don't have one is no-one has had the time to work on it.

Worth noting that this requires an HLSL representation of an array of bezier curve segments, which requires many vectors and some non-trivial evaluation maths. Its pretty similar to our current Gradient definition, which (if you want to allow it as a Property type like the Gradient) isnt so simple.

 

I want the same as the curve node of VFX Graph.
Since it is in VFX Graph, I want you to copy it as it is.
I just need the curve to return the float in time.
I use Time nodes, Sine nodes, and Multiphy for animation, but it is troublesome.
I want to define an animation in a Curve node.

 

+1 would be very helpful!

 

the gradient is prety much the same
sculpt the curve whith keys

 

By the way, I wrote a package that gives you this feature:

Instead of using Beziers directly (expensive in terms of ALU), it bakes curves to a 1x32 texture and just reads them normally.

This also means your curves can be arbitrarily complex, without any additional costs.

 

Is this still true?

 

VFXGraph has add exactly this node for years now and has also have AnimationCurve and Gradients exposable as properties. I wish ShaderGraph could just copy their nodes...

 

Works a charm, thank you. Tested with Unity 2021.2.12f1

 

I would also love this feature.
In VFX Graph I use curves a lot.
Would be great to have it in shadergraph too!

 

+1 reaaly needed!
