Question Shader Graph: How do I access the sprite from the Particle System's Texture Sheet Animation?

TLDR: I'm trying to create a custom Particle Shader using Shader Graph and I need to be able to access the Sprite from the Particle System's Texture Sheet Animation.

How can I do that?

I keep all of my particle textures in an atlas and split them using the Sprite Editor. To then use them in a Particle System, I just place whichever sprite I want to use in the Texture Sheet Animation section and I assign a material that uses the default URP > Simple Lit shader.

I would like to replace the URP Simple Lit shader with a custom one to achieve various effects. The problem that I'm having, is that I'm not sure how to access the sprite within the shader. I tried the Vertex Color node, but that only appears to grab the Particle color.

In the example above I was hoping that Vertex Color would grab the particle color multiplied by the texture and I could multiply that by a custom HDR color which in my case would be white but with a higher intensity, with the final result being what I had previously, but with HDR intensity.

Thank you!

 

Take a look at this. It's from Unity's Lost Crypt tech demo.


For the "Main Texture," you need to create a texture property on the Blackboard. In the Reference field, put "_MainTex" without the quotes.

 

That worked great, thank you!
