Hello, did you make any progress on getting this to work with HDRP?

You can hack around the HDRP issue by creating a component to sample your Sun Light. Once you have your component just sample the properties you want and set global variables. Then, in your shaders create the global properties that the component can write to.

Look up the Shader.SetGlobal* methods for setting those global property types.

I have this setup in my project and it works like a charm.

Hello I was woundering if anyone knows of a way to get the shadow attenuation and distance attenuation in HDRP. I have been looking everywhere for answers but cant find one. Here is the code I am using to get light data in hdrp

Is there any way to get the main light intensity also?

Hi, I'm getting this error. Do you have any idea why?
Shader error in 'hidden/preview/MainLightNodeCustomFunction_034dc8d0349e4af2abb4da742cca9b07': undeclared identifier 'MainLightNode_float' at line 155 (on d3d11)

Be sure you set custom function node right.
_half postfix is important and it should match Precision in custom function node settings.
