🎮 Core Features
Every effect in the pack supports layer-based masking, so you can choose to render each effect to parts of the screen. With masking you can:
- Draw effects based on each object's Layer Mask or Rendering Layer Mask
- Render effects on top of only opaque or transparent objects, or both
- Choose whether to include the skybox in the mask
- Restrict effects to draw over lit or unlit materials, only those that render depth, or only those that support deferred rendering, among other things
- Use a local mask only for an individual effect, or share a global mask between every effect in your volume profile
You can also choose where to draw the effect in URP's rendering loop. Right after drawing opaques, skyboxes, or transparents are all valid targets, or right before or after URP's internal post processing. On top of that:
- Use URP's volume system to add your effects to a volume profile and seamlessly integrate them with URP's existing post process filters
- Browse through demo scenes which explain each effect and provide use cases for every filter
- Attach a huge number of premade volume profiles to any volume in your scene
- Avoid mistakes through the use of helpful reminders and buttons when you use effects without adding them to the Renderer Features list
Please note that promotional content on this page shows off the URP Sample Scene, which is not included in the pack.
✅ Compatible Versions
