I recently rewrote a shared I was using into Shader Graph. As an example I carried out the color as an external parameter.

In my traditional shader to set the color I would call something like

MyMaterial.SetColor("_NewColor", color)

In the new code, I could not figure out the name of the parameter until I looked at the generated code. Turns out my Color parameter was actually named "Color_D027E98" So now my code is

MyMaterial.SetColor("Color_D027E98", color);

Not very pretty and I don't know how constant D027E98 is. Is this the correct way of changing a shader's parameter? Should I be doing something different using Shader Graph - Is this number going to change on me as if I update my shader?

In unity'sUnity's Shader Graph how do you access paramitersparameters from code?

I recently rewrote a shared I was using into Shader Graph. As an example I carried out the color as an external parameter.

In the new code i, I could not figure out the name of the paramiterparameter until I looked at the generated code. Turns out my Color parameter was actually named "Color_D027E98" So now my code is
MyMaterial.SetColor("Color_D027E98", color);
