Custom GUI for Shader Graph

Custom ShaderGUI for Unity Shader Graph that automatically:

• Creates collapsible categories from property names.
• Hides category properties using boolean toggles.
• Orders categories using numeric prefixes.
• Removes Unity internal properties from the Inspector.
• Provides a cleaner material workflow inspired by Unreal Engine's Material Editor.

Features

Automatic Categories

Properties are grouped automatically using the following format:

01. Texture/Base Color
01. Texture/Base Map

02. Normal/Normal Map
02. Normal/Strength

03. Emission/Color
03. Emission/Intensity

Result:

▼ 01. Texture
    Base Color
    Base Map

▼ 02. Normal
    Normal Map
    Strength

▼ 03. Emission
    Color
    Intensity

Toggle Categories

Display Name	Reference
01. Texture/Has Texture	_hasTexture
01. Texture/Base Color	_BaseColor
01. Texture/Base Map	_BaseMap

When the toggle is disabled:

▼ 01. Texture
    Has Texture

When enabled:

▼ 01. Texture
    Has Texture
    Base Color
    Base Map

Ordered Categories

01. Surface
02. Texture
03. Normal
04. Emission
05. Outline
06. Dissolve

Result:

▼ 01. Surface
▼ 02. Texture
▼ 03. Normal
▼ 04. Emission
▼ 05. Outline
▼ 06. Dissolve

Hidden Unity Internal Properties

The inspector automatically hides Unity internal properties such as:

_QueueOffset
_QueueControl

unity_Lightmap
unity_LightmapsInd
unity_ShadowMask

Shader Setup

Add a Custom Editor to your generated shader:

CustomEditor "AutoShaderGUI"

Naming Convention

Categories

Use the following format:

<Category>/<Property Name>

Example:

01. Texture/Base Color
01. Texture/Base Map

02. Normal/Normal Map
02. Normal/Strength

Toggle Properties

By default, any property whose reference contains:

has

is treated as a category toggle. Example:

_hasTexture
_hasNormal
_hasEmission

The keyword can be changed in the script:

private const string ToggleKeyword = "has";

Requirements

• Unity 6+
• Shader Graph
• URP or HDRP
