Question Using Depth Texture

Could anyone possible share an example of using the camera depth texture in a material? I see this setting in my LWRP settings but unsure how to take advantage of it.

 

Soft particles
Water edge foam
Localized fog volumes

The usual stuff the depth texture is used for.

 

In my case, I know what it can be used for. I just don't understand how to use it... I tried building a water shader in the share graph but couldn't get depth to work for it at all. There's some transformations that need to be done but I don't understand how.

 

If you’re using the older 2018 versions of Shader Graph, it’s a complicated and overly involved affair. I’ve posted an example on how to use it in the past, but I would highly recommend upgrading to Unity 2019 and using a recent SRP & Shader Graph instead.

If you’re using 2019 and something like Shader Graph 5.13, then it’s much more straight forward.

 

I’ll double check which graph I’m using and watch this tutorial. Thanks.
