Resources for choosing between the Forward, Forward+, and Deferred rendering pathsThe technique that a render pipeline uses to render graphics. Choosing a different rendering path affects how lighting and shading are calculated. Some rendering paths are more suited to different platforms and hardware than others. More info
See in Glossary in the Universal Render PipelineA series of operations that take the contents of a Scene, and displays them on a screen. Unity lets you choose from pre-built render pipelines, or write your own. More info
See in Glossary (URP).
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| Introduction to rendering paths | Understand the differences between the Forward, Forward+ and Deferred rendering paths in URP. |
| Choose a rendering path | Decide which rendering path to use for your Universal Render Pipeline (URP) project, depending on the type of project and the target hardware. |
| Set the rendering path | Use the Rendering Path setting in the Universal Renderer asset to set the rendering path. |
| Forward and Forward+ rendering paths | Learn more about the Forward and Forward+ rendering paths in URP. |
| Deferred rendering path | Resources for using the Deferred rendering path, which has no limit on the number of lights that can affect an opaque GameObjectThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info See in Glossary. |
| Troubleshooting the Forward+ rendering path | Solve common issues with the Forward+ rendering path, for example reduce the maximum number of visible lights to reduce build times. |
