    Hello, I'm trying to create a simple low poly water shader but for some reason it just doesn't work. It works fine in the shader graph window but in the editor it's totally still even when playing.

    How are you offsetting the vertex positions? What scale is the object you're using the shader on?

    The preview sphere is a 1 unit radius sphere centered at 0,0,0 in "world space". If your in game sphere is much larger, it's possible it's not moving enough to be visible.

    The sphere has the scale of 1,1,1. I set wave height to an insane amount: 1000000 but it still doesn't work. Shader:

    Does your mesh have UVs ? The noise node is using UV as source, if you don't have those, it will result in an uniform value.

    That is probably the problem. I tried fixing it by adding a texture as an input but now everything is purple!

    Well ... that should definitively not happen.

    Random guess :
    - check that the LWRPAsset is properly assigned in the graphic settings.
    - Update to newer version of package is available.
