Feedback shadergraph text file syntax is insane

8600 lines for this baby graph


in contrast ASE is 200 lines, that's a 40x ratio which is complete insanity since more data is included in ASE node position connection and actual shader

 

Most of the shader graph output is boilerplate that copies structures from the ones you use into generically named ones and back, along with a ton of boilerplate that gets commented in/out and conversion code for lighting that could be in an include file instead of written for every pass. Ironically the things you often want to modify are actually in include files instead of all this boilerplate..

 

Good to know, it saves me from trying to make sense of it.

 

what is ASE?

 

I'm guessing Amplify Shader Editor.
