Universal Render Pipeline in Unity 2019 - Overview & Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2019
- In Unity 2019, we introduced a few changes to the Lightweight Render Pipeline, including a name change! It is now called the Universal Render Pipeline - but what exactly is it? How do you use the URP? Well let's check it out!
The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a prebuilt Scriptable Render Pipeline, made by Unity. The technology offers graphics that are scalable to mobile platforms, and you can also use it for higher-end consoles and PCs. You’re able to achieve quick rendering at a high quality without needing compute shader technology. URP uses simplified, physically based Lighting and Materials.

Here's the Github for the Boat Attack demo shown: ole.unity.com/boatattack
Thanks for giving the demo.
Oh wow, brings me back to the days of playing Speedboat Attack! Please make this into a fully fledged game :D
I am actually just getting started with my first game. It's like the most intense boss battle ever.. not the game itself, just my experience of learning Unity.
With that said, the reward is enormous once things things fall into place. I'm working on creating some sort of smash 'em up featuring cute rabbits. Would be interested if there are any communities out there to help out and even to help with things like keeping motivation up etc. All tips are highly appreciated!
Great video. I love how 4:33 post-processing is added, there is a lot of tweaking of different parameters and at the end 5:14 scene looks exactly like it did before adding the post-processing :D
@Lucien Studio you are right! thank you for explaining it all to me.
You missed the bit where it's not compatible with the LWRP post-processing stack, but the replacement doesn't support custom effects. I'm stuck with 2019.2 until URP is finished, and I don't mean "out of preview" or "production-ready". I mean actually feature complete, and not just some hasty marketing ploy to try and mask the awful fragmentation that's happening with Unity's technology stack.
Yep, I was trying to switch to LWRP for a long time but every time I've tried to, I'd brush up against something missing I'd call a deal breaker. There aren't enough features in LWRP for them to lose any in the transition to URP.
Yeah, the comment about fragmentation is exactly right. The relative stability and flexibility that was achieved around the 4.6 era has given way to some interesting features, but those features feel like they're spread out across what are really dozens of separate, poorly-documented applications. I just came back to Unity after some time away and the confusion surrounding render pipeline details is incredible, and my current project has I think now 3 unique forms of broken shadows on very basic instanced geometry. I don't really want to roll my own engine and never be heard from again, but it seems just about impossible to understand these features and get stable, usable results in any combination now. It's a shame.
Familiar faces all around me! Thanks for watching everybody, hope you enjoy! =)
I thought i was watching the wrong video at first
I was about to say that sykoo change the logo of his channel
HUGE HELP for a Unity nub like me. I was watching videos on setting up LWRP, and then getting pink shaders. It really hampered my tutorial progress. Once I came across a link to this video was the answer. Thank you so much Unity team!
Would love to use URP, but I need a deferred render mode. Our project relies on a lot of independent light sources.
Wow this is actually a really great informative and thought out explanation. Thank you for this great job
I came across this video because I was just about to start a project for a 2D RPG and saw URP as an option - after seeing this overview (and another video regarding the lighting in URP), this sounds like something that would really make a huge impact! 😁
This Tutorial was Amazing, I understood a lot from it
Keep up the Job
Great work on the URP so far. Will be checking it out for VR to see how it goes. Our last test with LWRP didn't go smoothly with issues with rendering only for one eye. Crossing our fingers for a better experience. Keep up the good work.
I was facing the same issue till recent attempts. Any updates on whether it works?
Love Unity. Addicted to game developing because of your Engine.❤️
Looks really nice :)
Definitely using URP. While it is just an animation that I'm currently making, it's making it even more suitable even than blender to make my animations right in Unity. So great.
Switching from built-in to URP required some extra steps for me. the Lighting tab needed a lot of tweaks as the scene was way too dark and some of the materials and textures didn't convert, mainly probuilder stuff, so I guess if you don't use that, you'll be fine. Also, as mentioned below, no Lens flares?! (but I hear that's planned)
I am using URP for my game... Thank you Unity for making such an amazing tool for us.
This is excellent! Rendering for mobile devices! Now I would like to have an easy way to reduce ressources (materials, sounds, unused assets ... ) for mobile devices.
Universal RP sounds good, if Unity is really heading to that as their main RP (ShaderGraph, yay).
For new projects in unity the option for 2d Universal Render Pipeline would be nice.
Using orth camera ,2d Renderer, 2d shaders as default and doing what ever else selecting a 2d project normally does.
Yes please!
Very clear and informative. Thanks for the tutorial
You're welcome, Yang! Hope you found it helpful!
URP doesn't support lens flare please fix that because image effects are so slow on mobile devices
Also we need more modern lens flares system (eg physically based).
URP doesn't support a lot of things, it feels like work in progress and not ready for production.
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto i love it complex better to adjust to your needs
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto It's simple enough consider you need to write your own shader with graphic language with it by default
Well I followed this and upgraded and now half of my scene is still pink as they won't convert, seems to be materials with shaders and pretty much every asset I am using is having issues. Looks like I will have to revert until it is able to cope with more
Yes, i am currently working on a small game, using this universal render pipeline
We weren’t earlier in the week but we decided then that the benefits were just too great to ignore, your video has just confirmed we made the right decision. Thanks, would love to know even more... 😄
Using URP for our next VR project
I tried to upgrade to LRWP a long time ago but I had lightning issues, I can't wait to see if it's fixed with URP :D
thanks ! was totally lost between LWRP on 2019.2 version and now URP on 2019.3 Unity version :)
Im using universal rp in a 2d project and have a problem to make my shadows appers in game mode instead appers in editor mode. And using URP my 2d project.
"I get a little bit jealous, im not gonna lie"
Say the one who works with Unity. Lol
lel
LWRP/URP: In game-view/ render stats and profiler, the tris and vertices count are not showing for imported 3D models.
I really need to try this out
I have a project that I want to migrate to URP, but for any reason (that I don't know) in my Win10 PC where I'm working on, I can't import URP because it shows a lot of errors and all materials get corrupted after that.
I know that it is something related with my Windows patch version, but I can't fix it.
So, for now, I'll continue using standard RP, but it's sad, because I want to use Shader Graph and Post Processing Stack :(
I will use in my next project
Would have been greate if this would work on my project... some objects turned pink even after your "fix" and now I cant undo that...
I believe Post Processing v2 is not compatible with URP, is there an easy way to migrate like migrating materials? or will we have to recreate the post processing in each scene? Also, it would be good to demystify the differences between URP and HDRP. URP = Low end devices & HDRP = PC and Console?? (if that's the case, why would URP be the default? Most gamers use PC and Consoles) But I've also heard that you need a graphics specialist to handle graphics with HDRP which does not work for indies. Any thoughts???
The question whether to switch or not (and I hesitate to say 'upgrade') from Standard to URP boils down to your projects needs. The message I got from the video was "Upgrade so you are not behind" without actually giving any advantages it would bring. There is no visual difference between standard and URP and post processing stack is available for standard, so why switch? The main advantage as highlighted in the blog post - URP allows for a huge performance boost, which can not be understated. That is a definite upgrade, although regrettably the video did not talk about that at all.
The biggest disadvantage at this point is that it does not support deferred rendering path, which is a downgrade from Standard, and it also has no Ambient Occlusion the last I checked. Those are the two main reasons our game is still using Standard Rendering Pipeline.
I would love to use URP if there would be any solution for volumetric lights/fog - even third party ones.
Unity should add a litle popup window right after creating pipeline asset to ask if we vant to assign newly created pipeline asset to graphics setting now? :)
Planning to convert my low poly game to URP soon
Hi, I have been working on a simple beginner game. I made all of my assets in blender. When i switched my project over to universal pipeline all of my animations stopped working and i dont know how to get them back.
Hi, you are doing great job!! Is urp well optimized then unity buit in randring pipeline for mobile games? Thanks
Thanks for the video :)
Question: LWRP have lighting issues where light flickers when camera moves (even with two lights only in the scene) , will this be fixed in URP? Since this will be the default PL in the future.
Hi, thanks for tutorial. I have a question. As I am working on VR game for Android and going to make this update to my project, do I have to arrange new google vr package? Which google vr package supports biggest number of Android devices? I would be grateful for advice. Thanks
Gracias crack, me ayudaste a arreglar el problema dentro de mi proyecto.
Thanks for the concise upgrade tutorial. I'm looking at upgrading a BIRP project to URP because it's become too complex to bake decent lightmaps, and the standard dynamic lighting isn't performant at all. I'm also having issues with shadows not touching surfaces, even after the sliders at at minimum distance.
Anyways, looking forward to that later this year. Right now I'm taking the opportunity to build in URP for my Uni project, and there's plenty to learn on the way.
I used it for a project that has a lot of 360 videos. I chose this because it's supposed to be less resource intensive than the Standard Pipeline, but it turns out that it didn't really make a difference because biggest resource hog was playing the 360 videos. Those videos had eight times more pixels than 1080P video, so we were only able to play it on machines with dedicated graphics cards and integrated graphics cards that are capable of decoding 60-fps 4K. Even then, those integrated graphics cards had to use a 75% reduced resolution version of the videos.
Does the same steps would apply while trying to switch from any rendering pipeline? For instance to change from HDRP to URP? I find URP very interesting due to performance comparison. URP performs way more faster and the graphics are not that bad. In this case, you can chose performance for small cost.
I still use 2019.1 full version and have emission rendering problems with lwrp, when the emitting object with PP bloom(from shader graph) is faced towards the directional light, the object turns black. I hope it is fixed on the URP.
I'll upgrade to 2019.3 when the full version is out.
Is there a step missing for getting post processing working? I migrated a small project to URP and set up post processing, doing both following exactly along with this video. However post processing does not work at all. Nothing I add or modify has any impact on the Game window.
Unfortunately, when I download URP, created a pipeline asset, updated project settings -> graphics->scriptable render pipeline settings, and then edit -> render pipeline -> universal render pipeline-> upgrade project materials to UniversalIRP Materials, and clicked okay; nothing happened. And now all my game objects will remain pink forever...
2 :/
Urgh same
same for me, its all still pink, unless i set the graphic setting to not use the URP asset
Same thing happened to me amigo. I have to go and change everything.
what about 3rd party shaders those we have used in the project? will they automatically adjust with URP?
Hello, I've just downloaded it, followed all the steps, but some materials don't convert, or, if they do, it loses all the properties... what should I do?
Hi how about if you have a project in 2019.1 ? would I need to upgrade to 2019.3 first ? Ive tried to do this but it wont allow me as it says im missing packages ! Best H
trying to add bloom like you did in the video but I can't find any component like that. How can I add it?
I have upgraded my project to URP in 2019.3 version that I am using. The material I have imported stays pink always, even after doing that (edit>render pipeline>urp>upgrade to URP), I did that, It didn't work! Help!
Pix Spaces, same
Does the material use a custom shader? If so, the shader is incompatible and you need to remake it for URP.
am not sure if i need to change to urp, but i might need to do it, altho am not sure how my prject will end with it XD
i think there is some special material`s that might become broken etc. but all see if i end up changing :D
Nice to see sykoosam back with tutorial :D
THANK YOU!
i have been locking for 3 hour just how to use shader graph. and then when i go in to shader graph everything is PINK so i was trying to fix it but it did not WORK. and now i saw your video THANK GOD you are my hero. lel thats a waste of 5 hours XD
There is a ton of videos from Unity about how to move to new render pipeline but there is no good explanation of how to port existing custom shaders to be compatible with URP and URP Batcher.
Hello, I’m trying to make a museum project (it’s a student project) for oculus quest. I have googled it so much but could not find if I’m able to use the Universal render pipeline for quest development?
Use 2018.4 LTS and LWRP that's the most stable new release with all the new bells and whistles
Does the universal pipeline and post processing stacks work for Oculus Qwest?
Hi. First thanks to share this tutorial with us !!! . On the other hand, we created a project in Unity with URP (To have a better performance in the Virtual Reality game we are doing) and added an environment to it through an unitypackage. Then we opened it and we had no problems in converting the materials and shaders the complete scene to URP, but my intention now is adding characters from another unitypackage to this URP project, but this time we have to reassign the shaders for URP manually, for it, Do you know how to do it? Do you know some tutorial about this topic? Thanks for your time. Hopefully you can understand me since that my English is terrible :):)
Is there any easy way to make the transition from PPv2 to integrated Post processing in 2019.3?
If there isn't It will be really frustrating to upgrade any older projects.
Yes it will be frustrating, and no there is no upgrade path for postprocessing
there is no option for universal rp in the 2019 unity hub. seriously! why do you people bother making a tutorial that will change in a week or so?
please make a tutorial on how to use URP for mobile devices.
how to add universal pipeline to fps camera and walk
Thanks it works.
Is there any road plan to add back Post Processing Stack v2 to URP? LWRP initially supported PPSv2 and then dropped it when LWRP 7.0 was rebranded as URP and I hope URP can maintain the compatibility, as it would take a long time for asset store providers to update their assets from PPSv2 to the new Volume-based approach, and such fragmentation is preventing me from adopting new versions of Unity, thanks!
If you have a terrain made and then you activate said render pipeline and the terrain goes invisible, how do you fix that?
You can't imagine how poorly this was documented by Unity. Your insight was a lifesaver and helped me to salvage a game I have worked for a long time on. Losing all my lighting data from Enlighten was crushing.
You are a life Saver
First time trying to use render pipeline. It made my 3rd person camera no longer rotate. Anyway to change back or reason for this?
I am experiencing slower fps and nausea with build in render for a game in quest 2.0. Is it be better to migrate to URP?
I get a Black Screen when I build WebGL with Universal Render Pipeline. all the other builds work.
(I have a very small 2D project with around 5 2D lights, in other words a very small scene with 3 layers.) can't find help anywhere.
It would be good if you could add the option to select a URP template without the example scene and assets. Otherwise its more efficient to setup via the default 3D template.
if i wrote my own shadder, wil it support the new urp/hdrp?
How would I import the assets in the demo so I can try stuff out ?
what water asset are you using here?
I want to use Universal Render pipeline, make Nintendo games, that quality level . . I'll definitely use it, for many years, as a beginning game maker, a student . .
thank you.
Will URP be able to render multiple cameras?
it doesn't support lens flares :(
it wont work. created a new project in urp and brought in the project but it resets it back to standard and everything is pink and the render option in create doesnt show either. 2019.4
My potato of a computer can’t run 3D at more than 15 FPS so I’m trying this now. Any other tips? It has integrated graphics (yuck) which is dx10 but it’s trying to run dx11 I think
Please Can You Help Me Download A Unity Version Every Time I Press Add And Choose A Version It Does Nothing
Is it good at performance? I'm developing a mobile game using lwrp
You and then you gets errors and warnings rather than upgraded materials: M_Fence_03 material was not upgraded. There's no upgrader to convert HandpaintedVol1/HandpaintedBaseShader shader to selected pipeline
Thank you it was helpful. but the part of fix pink materials isn't so simple. Some have fixed and others that already were ok turned to pink, due some legacy shaders, as terrain in example. I created another just to see which materials and shaders it was using so i could fix my old one.
Now how to upgrade from Lightweight renderer pipeline to the universal one
ムハンマド is actually the way to write it mate
So, I upgraded my project to URP. It is a FPS and I was using 2 cameras, 1 for the player and 1 to render the weapon. But, when I switched, only I camera renders. How do I get the ability to use both cameras allowing them to overlay on top of each other in the game view?
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto I just figured it out. You just need to upgrade to URP 2.1, the latest version
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto no it is in the 2019 version just go to package manager and expand the URP drop down and click on like 2.1 and not 1.8
I need it because I need your new 2d lighting system
I just started creating a game, mainly to learn Unity. To answer your question, if URP is indeed the future of Unity, then here's where I'll start.
Which ocean asset does this use, crest?
I have converted to URP WebGL for getting best performance.Vertex and tris have dropped significantly(from millions to under 1000) but the FPS is remaining the same.
I'm facing many issue in urp, it is saying some sort of nature/ soft error and in ceratain free assets such it is showing error
We recommend sharing your issue, error report and all, over on our Forums. There you'll find other Unity creators that may be able to help troubleshoot the issue you've encountered.
forum.unity.com/forums/universal-render-pipeline.383/
Uh how do i attach the Post Processing to the camera?
It must be called something else now because there is no option to select pipeline asset
Great, now all we need is a post process stack that doesn't cut fps in half on mobile.
Edit - And also, the boat demo is completely broken when opening in 2019.3, with nothing rendering properly ...
hello sir please when i open unity hub today i get more pipeline 3d mobile 2d mobile and microgames , i need to know the different between URP and 3d Mobile templet i notice the 3d mobile templet support height map in material , i looking to make 3d mobile game with good graphics , sorry I am totally beginner is 3d mobile temple it's old ? URP is the new generation for making mobile games , waiting your reply ,, please for anyone read this comment answer me thank you ...
Thanks for the video! At the moment I am hating the URP. Switching from Built in render to URP is really stressful if you have an "advanced project". In the first hand, lights, does not support real-time point lights? really? very bad. On the other hand, many materials and props have to be made from scratch, again! The only good thing so far is the shader and vfx graph. Anyway, if in the future it will be the default pipeline, we will have to learn it.
