Quick question - VFX x Shadergraph Vertex Position

So i made a shader in hdrp shadergraph using the vertex part, so it could morph and stuff.
However, when I put it into VFX graph, the parameters I set for color and alpha transfer fine, but the vertex position deformation doesn't work.

I thought maybe I did something wrong, so I put the shader on a normal low poly plane, and the deformation worked fine.

Does vfx graph fundamentally not work with the vertex parameter in shadergraph? Or am I missing something?

I'd share the graphs, but this is more a fundamental question than anything. Has anybody been able to spawn meshes from a vfx mesh output that deformed using the parameters in the vertex portion of the shadergraph asset? Does anybody know why this wouldn't work?

 

Hi, sorry for digging the thread out, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
Vertex position doesn't seem to work for me in either 2020.3.25f1 or 2021.3.5f1. Shader works fine for HDRP, but Position and everything plugged in is grayed out if I switch it to Visual Effect.
I got Experimental Operators turned on.
I attached everything as a package.

 

You can create new thread too.
Do you have new shader graph integration? The checkbox (blue 3) + not visual effect as target?

Thanks for suggestion but I am on HDRP 10.10.1 in 2020.3 and I can see no such option. Even if I remove Visual Effect from targets, leaving HDRP only. Also cannot upgrade now due to being quite close to the release.


In 2021 it works after I set it up the way you wrote, so shader itself is fine.

 

I mean if I remember correctly there is no choice, Visual Efect target does not support vertex modification, so either you use new integration or you simply can't access vertex stage.

 

Ok then, thanks for the help, hoped maybe there is a way.
I have already started working on making it in a way simillar to the butterflies example but that's a bit more complicated.
