Question Sprite does not appear when using Color property in Shader graph (Sprite Lit Master Graph)

Hi, I have a very simple Shader Graph which uses a Sprite Lit Master node. The graph smooths the edge of a circle sprite and adds a Simple Noise effect to it.

Issue: When multiplying the Color property, it appears alright in the Main Preview window. But in the Scene, the color does not change to the color set in the Shader graph. I also cannot change the color of the sprite through the Color picker in the editor (sprite color remains grey).

Note: Alpha in color property is set to 1.

Shader Graph:


Sprite (in scene):


Inspector (settings):


Am I missing something in the inspector settings or in the shader graph?

Thanks in advance.

 

I'm finding that "_Color" is not behaving expectedly. For me, what happens is that the SpriteRenderer's color always takes effect, whether or not I want to use it. This is the case whether there's a property with reference "_Color" or not. I haven't found a way to get the material to ignore the SpriteRenderer.color. I'd like to do that in some circumstances. In some cases I want to apply the SpriteRenderer's color before what's driven by the shader, but that's also a mystery to me because if I try to do so in the shader it's like the color is multiplication afterward always.

 

Once I apply a material to the Sprite Renderer, the Color property does not work. And I can't even change the color of the sprite from the color property in the Shader Material component. I don't really know what's the issue here.

 

Hi @bgolus, do you know why I might be getting this issue? Even setting a different sprite in the Shader graph under the _MainTex doesn't change the sprite in the Scene/Game.
