Unity Graphics and Rendering

Render Pipeline Selection Guide

A render pipeline performs a series of operations that take the contents of a scene and displays them on a screen. Unity provides three render pipelines:

Criteria	Built-in Render Pipeline	Universal Render Pipeline (URP)	High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP)
Target	Legacy projects	Mobile to high-end consoles/PCs	AAA, automotive, architectural
Customization	Limited	Scriptable, extensible via Renderer Features	Scriptable, Custom Passes, Full Frame Settings
Rendering Paths	Forward, Deferred	Forward, Forward+, Deferred	Forward, Deferred (hybrid tile/cluster)
Shader Authoring	ShaderLab + Surface Shaders	Shader Graph (recommended), HLSL	Shader Graph (recommended), HLSL
SRP Batcher	No	Yes	Yes
Ray Tracing	No	No	Yes (DXR)
Volumetrics	No	No	Yes (fog, clouds)
Anti-Aliasing	MSAA	FXAA, SMAA, TAA, MSAA	FXAA, SMAA, TAA, MSAA
Platforms	All	All (scalable)	High-end (DX11/12, Metal, Vulkan)
GPU Requirement	Standard	Standard	Compute shader capable

Decision flow:

Need ray tracing, volumetric clouds, or physically-based sky? --> HDRP
Need to target mobile, WebGL, or widest platform range? --> URP
Maintaining a legacy project with no migration budget? --> Built-in
Starting a new project? --> URP (most projects) or HDRP (high fidelity)

Warning: Render pipelines are NOT interchangeable. Materials, shaders, and post-processing from one pipeline do not work in another without conversion. Upgrading Built-in materials to URP/HDRP requires the pipeline's material upgrader; objects render bright pink if their shader is incompatible.

Shader Graph

Shader Graph enables building shaders visually by creating and connecting nodes in a graph framework instead of writing code. Changes are reflected with instant feedback.

Render pipeline compatibility:

Pipeline	Supported
URP	Yes
HDRP	Yes
Built-in Render Pipeline	Yes
Custom SRP	No

Shader Graph is included automatically when you install URP or HDRP.

Custom Function Node -- Inject custom HLSL code into Shader Graphs:

String mode: Write HLSL directly; use $precision token for half/float
File mode: Reference external .hlsl files with include guards

// File mode example with include guards
//UNITY_SHADER_NO_UPGRADE
#ifndef MYHLSLINCLUDE_INCLUDED
#define MYHLSLINCLUDE_INCLUDED

void MyFunction_float(float3 A, float B, out float3 Out)
{
    Out = A + B;
}
#endif //MYHLSLINCLUDE_INCLUDED

Pipeline detection in Custom Function nodes:

#ifdef SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW
    half3 color = half3(0,0,0);
#else
    #if defined(UNIVERSAL_PIPELINE_CORE_INCLUDED)
        half4 shadowCoord = TransformWorldToShadowCoord(WorldPosition);
        Light mainLight = GetMainLight(shadowCoord);
        half3 color = mainLight.color;
    #else
        half3 color = half3(0, 0, 0);
    #endif
#endif

Conditional keywords by pipeline:

Built-in: BUILTIN_PIPELINE_CORE_INCLUDED
URP: UNIVERSAL_PIPELINE_CORE_INCLUDED
HDRP: UNITY_HEADER_HD_INCLUDED
Preview window: SHADERGRAPH_PREVIEW

Shaders

A shader is a program that runs on the GPU. Unity categorizes shaders into three types:

Graphics Pipeline Shaders -- Most common; work with Shader objects to determine scene appearance
Compute Shaders -- Perform GPU calculations outside the regular graphics pipeline
Ray Tracing Shaders -- Handle ray tracing calculations (HDRP only)

Key terminology:

Shader Object -- Instance of the Shader class wrapping shader programs and GPU instructions
ShaderLab -- Unity's language for defining Shader object structure
Shader Graph -- Visual, code-free shader creation tool
Shader Asset -- A .shader file defining a Shader object
HLSL -- High Level Shader Language used inside shader code blocks

Surface Shaders (Built-in pipeline ONLY):

Streamlined way to write lighting-interactive shaders
Auto-generates vertex/pixel shaders and rendering passes
NOT supported in URP or HDRP; use Shader Graph instead

HLSL in ShaderLab:

Use HLSLPROGRAM directive to add shader code to Pass blocks
Declare structs connecting shader variables to mesh vertex data
Use #pragma directives to control compilation
Support 16-bit precision for mobile optimization

Source: Shaders Introduction

Materials and Textures

Materials and shaders work together to define the appearance of a scene.

Materials

Key workflows:

Create material assets and assign them to GameObjects
Modify material properties at runtime via scripting
Use Material Variants for managing large material collections
Upgrade Built-in materials to URP/HDRP to prevent pink rendering

Material API -- Key properties and methods:

Property/Method	Purpose
`color`	Main color of the material
`mainTexture`	Primary texture
`shader`	Assigned shader reference
`renderQueue`	Render order override
`enableInstancing`	GPU instancing toggle
`SetColor(name, color)`	Change a color property
`SetFloat(name, value)`	Set a float property
`SetTexture(name, texture)`	Assign a texture
`SetVector(name, vector)`	Set a vector property
`SetMatrix(name, matrix)`	Set a matrix property
`HasProperty(name)`	Check if property exists
`EnableKeyword(keyword)`	Enable a shader keyword
`CopyPropertiesFromMaterial(mat)`	Copy from another material
`Lerp(start, end, t)`	Interpolate between materials

Important: Set your desired shader BEFORE modifying properties. Property assignments have no effect if the current shader does not support them.

Textures

Textures are bitmap images applied to mesh surfaces. Key concepts:

Power-of-two dimensions recommended: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
LDR (Low Dynamic Range): PNG, JPG -- values 0.0-1.0
HDR (High Dynamic Range): EXR, HDR -- extended color ranges
RGBA: RGB color plus alpha channel for transparency
Bits per pixel (bpp): Lower values reduce memory and improve GPU cache
Anisotropic filtering: Improves quality at steep viewing angles

See: references/materials-textures.md Source: Materials, Textures

Cameras

Cameras create an image of a particular viewpoint in a scene, with output displayed on-screen or captured as a texture.

Projection modes:

Perspective -- Replicates human vision; distant objects appear smaller (default)
Orthographic -- No perspective; objects render at consistent size regardless of distance; useful for isometric/2D games

Key details:

At least one camera required per scene
Multiple cameras supported with configurable render order
Render path set in Player settings; overridable per camera
URP and HDRP have pipeline-specific camera documentation
Orthographic cameras render fog uniformly rather than depth-based

Common camera setups:

Puzzle games: static camera for full visibility
FPS: camera parented to player at eye level
Racing: camera following the vehicle

Source: Cameras

Post-Processing

Post-processing effects simulate physical camera/film properties or enable stylized visuals.

Pipeline	Post-Processing Solution
URP	Built-in (installed with URP template)
HDRP	Built-in (installed with HDRP template)
Built-in	Post-Processing Version 2 package (separate)

Warning: Post-processing solutions are NOT interchangeable across render pipelines. Each pipeline's effects and implementation methods differ.

HDRP anti-aliasing options:

MSAA -- Most resource-intensive
TAA -- Motion-dependent temporal smoothing
SMAA -- Pattern-based edge blending
FXAA -- Per-pixel; least intensive

HDRP exposure: Histogram-based with percentile selection, metering modes, and pre-exposure for precision with Physical Light Units.

Source: Post-Processing

Render Graph (Unity 6)

The Render Graph system provides a high-level representation of custom SRP render passes, explicitly stating how passes use resources. Both URP and HDRP use Render Graph.

Core Principles

Handle-based resources -- Use TextureHandle, BufferHandle, RendererListHandle instead of direct references
Scoped access -- Actual resources only accessible inside render pass execution code
Explicit declaration -- Each pass declares reads/writes, enabling dependency tracking
No persistence -- Resources created within one execution cannot carry to the next
RTHandle dependency -- Textures use RTHandle system

Three-Phase Execution (per frame)

Setup -- Declare all render passes and resource dependencies
Compilation -- System culls unused passes, calculates resource lifetimes for efficient allocation
Execution -- Run non-culled passes in declaration order

Key API Pattern -- AddRenderPass

using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.RenderGraphModule;

// 1. Define pass data
class MyPassData { public TextureHandle input, output; public float param; }

// 2. Create and configure pass
using (var bu
