    So at the moment I need to output a particle mesh using vfx graph. I have some other meshes I used shader graphs with, but I need to specifically apply a shader in this case. But I can't for some reason? I also can't seem to find any good workarounds for my case. upload_2023-5-31_20-51-20.png

    The shader I am trying to apply is very simple, I was looking into how to remake it in a shader graph but it seems maybe, "too simple" to replicate for a shader graph. I'm only trying to disable the z write. Any help is very appreciated!

    Select the output context and there should be option to change z-write in the inspector.

    Qriva's reply is the correct for the Zwrite issue to avoid having to use shader.

    But to use a shadergraph into a VFX Graph slot, you have to make sure that the shader has "support VFX Graph" option enabled in the shaders settings. This will create a subasset in the shader and this is the asset that you will be able to put into the SG field
