On-Demand Shader Compilation (ODSC) compiles only the shaders needed to render what is seen on screen in the editor, and during iterative platform development using cook-on-the-fly. ODSC can significantly reduce the number of shaders to be compiled for those who routinely sync their builds and have a large number of shaders to compile, those who iterate on materials and shaders often, and for anyone without access to a remote DDC for cached shaders.
