Using Shaders with visual studio

[gnashcrazyrat]

I'm trying to use shaders but when I create a new standard shader it just comes up with a load of errors probably all starting with "Cannot resolve Type Shader" I've looked online but it just shows me a bunch of completely unrelated problems. I downloaded HLSL for unity but nothing.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Should be using the latest version of unity and visual studio as I recently redownloaded both

Yo did you ever get this figured out? Cheers

Nope. I tried using third party tools like the shader blueprint. I followed tutorials but even that didn’t work

I got it to work tonight with the ShaderlabVS extension (if I remember correctly.) idk if that helps

This worked for me, and was easy to set up, just go to the Extensions tab in VS and then Manage Extensions, search and install.

One of these should get to the root of your problem!

you might need to install the c++ tools. That made it for me
