Any way to force terrain shaders to be added to build in HDRP?

Hello,

I'm creating a procedural terrain in the HDRP. This is created in a script and no terrain object exist in the scene itself. Everything works fine in the editor, but when doing a build, the terrain seems to use a fallback shader and render incorrectly (see attached image).

In the builtin render pipeline you can force the terrain shaders into a build in the graphics settings by adding the "Nature/Terrain/Standard" shader to the "Always included shaders" in the graphics settings, but the "HDRP/TerrainLit" shader can not be added to the list in the same way, as it's nowhere to be found.

I can work around the issue by adding adding a dummy terrain in the the hierarchy, adding some terrain layers to it and then killing it in code when the game launches, but surely there is a better way of doing this?

Thanks!

 

It looks like the shader is included in the build, but your sand material layers (which covers the peaks) isn't.

 

I think this is really the shader, that seems to be a legacy diffuse shader with 1 pass that can only render 4 splats.
If you look closely to in areas covered by one of the first 4 textures, you can observe that bumps are not rendered properly, see attached image.

 

I'm not sure what you mean with can't add. You can select a shader from packages by "unhide" them from the menu.
