About this asset

Simply Sharp is an easy to use post-processing effect designed specifically for Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Easily integrate powerful, customizable sharpening into your scenes to bring out fine details, enhance image quality, and add a professional polish to your visuals.

Key Features

  • Native URP Integration

Implemented as a Renderer Feature and driven by Render Graph, ensuring seamless, optimized integration with your URP projects. Simply add it to your URP Renderer, and you're ready to go!

  • Volume Component Control

Adjust sharpening parameters directly within your Post-Processing Volumes for intuitive, scene-specific adjustments and easy blending.

  • Unsharp Masking Algorithm

Utilizes the industry-standard Unsharp Masking technique, a highly effective and visually pleasing method for enhancing edge contrast and bringing out latent detail without introducing harsh artifacts.

  • High-Quality Kawase Blur

Employs a performant and visually smooth Kawase blur for the underlying blur pass, ensuring excellent results as part of the unsharp masking process.

  • Contrast Threshold

Prevent over-sharpening in low-contrast areas and minimize noise amplification. Set a minimum contrast level to ensure sharpening is applied only where it truly enhances details, not noise.

  • Intensity Slider

Precisely control the strength of the sharpening effect, allowing for subtle enhancements or more pronounced, crisp visuals.

  • Artist-Friendly Workflow

Quick to set up and easy to tweak, making it an invaluable tool for artists and developers looking to add that final layer of visual fidelity.
