Question VFX graph 2021.2b vertex position (SOLVED)

    According to this link https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...raph@12.0/manual/sg-target-visual-effect.html, and https://unity.com/roadmap/unity-platform/rendering-visual-effects, the unity road map. I should be able to modify my lit particle meshes vertex position. But when I add the vertex output node in shader graph with the render target set to Visual Effect the position node becomes greyed out and nothing happens to the mesh. If I change the target and add the material to a mesh in the inspector it behaves as expected with the correct vertex displacement.

    I've tried to find a solution for a couple of days now but I'm stuck.
    Do any of you have a solution? Thanks!

    Also, I'm using URP and unity version 2021.2b.

    Hi @wichilowat ,

    This functionality for URP is fresh out of the oven and *just* landed :) You'll be able to access it in the next beta: 2021.2.0b15 which, bar any unforeseen circumstances, should become available later this week.

    You won't need to use a Visual Effect target anymore, just Universal if you are in URP, and you need to tick the Support VFX Graph option at the bottom of the Graph settings:


    It should be on by default, but for visibility, you can also toggle between the old and the new improved ShaderGraph integration in the VFX Graph in Preferences > Visual Effects:


    Hope this helps!

    So did this make it into Unity 2021.2, I'm trying to use it but it won't let me drag the shader graph onto here:

    not allowing me to select it here:

    Hey @SniperED007 ,

    Replying here as well; is it possible that you are tryin to assign the shader graph asset parent? (you have to drag it's child):


    A few other possible reasons:
    - Have you saved the ShaderGraph after you've made it support the VFX Graph?
    - Are you using anything unsupported? (i.e. are there any console warnings) These can include things like Decal or Sprite type materials in URP, or having exposed blackboard bools, enums, and a few other types.
