Unity doesn't officially support terrains via Shader Graph. However, it is still possible to write shaders that accept the same textures as URP's built-in terrain shaders and recreate terrain effects ourselves! In this tutorial, I'll read four texture layers and apply an automatic rock cliff painting system and a world scan effect like the kinds you'd see in many open world games.

I have moved to Unity 6.0.23f1 for the remaining videos in this series and the new GitHub project. Most of what you see works similarly to Unity 2022.3 or older.
