Terrain materials created with Shader Graph

What changed

Unity feature: Terrain Shader Graph

Terrain can use materials authored in Shader Graph. Terrain-specific nodes and templates expose terrain layers while allowing custom surface effects.

Use it

Create a graph from the terrain template for the project’s render pipeline.
Create a material from that graph and assign it to the terrain. Use the Terrain Shaders sample for concrete material examples.

Requirements and limits

Choose the template for URP or HDRP; material targets are not interchangeable between render pipelines.
