This page contains information on using a Fallback
block in your ShaderLabUnity’s language for defining the structure of Shader objects. More info
See in Glossary code to assign a fallback Shader objectAn instance of the Shader class, a Shader object is container for shader programs and GPU instructions, and information that tells Unity how to use them. Use them with materials to determine the appearance of your scene. More info

Feature name | Built-in Render PipelineA series of operations that take the contents of a Scene, and displays them on a screen. Unity lets you choose from pre-built render pipelines, or write your own. More info See in Glossary |

ShaderLab: Fallback block | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
To assign a fallback, you place a Fallback
block inside a Shader
block.
Signature | Function |
---|---|
Fallback "<name>" |
If no compatible SubShaders are found, use the named Shader object. |
Fallback Off |
Do not use a fallback Shader object in place of this one. If no compatible SubShaders are found, display the error material. |
This example code demonstrates the syntax for creating a Shader object that has a named fallback.
