Expose 6-way lighting as a Shader Graph shader compatible with both HDRP and URP.
6-way lighting allows to create more realistic smoke effects and relight them dynamically using six-way lightmaps that can be baked in various content creation tools like Houdini, Blender, or Embergen. However, currently, 6-way lighting is only supported with HDRP, and cannot be customized easily, being an internal hand written shader.
