VisualShader
============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Shader<class_Shader>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A custom shader program with a visual editor.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This class provides a graph-like visual editor for creating a :ref:`Shader<class_Shader>`. Although **VisualShader**\ s do not require coding, they share the same logic with script shaders. They use :ref:`VisualShaderNode<class_VisualShaderNode>`\ s that can be connected to each other to control the flow of the shader. The visual shader graph is converted to a script shader behind the scenes.
