Page Description
Create a sample scene in URP Create a sample sceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info

for writing shaders in URP.
Write an unlit basic shader in URP An example of a basic URP shader that fills a meshThe main graphics primitive of Unity. Meshes make up a large part of your 3D worlds. Unity supports triangulated or Quadrangulated polygon meshes. Nurbs, Nurms, Subdiv surfaces must be converted to polygons. More info

shape with a color.
Write an unlit shader with color input in URP An example of a URP shader that adds the Base Color property to a material.
Draw a texture in a shader in URP An example of a URP shader that draws a texture on a mesh.
Visualize normal vectors in a shader in URP An example of a URP shader that visualizes the normal vector values on a mesh.
Reconstruct world space positions in a shader in URP An exmaple of a URP shader that reconstructs the world space positions for pixelsThe smallest unit in a computer image. Pixel size depends on your screen resolution. Pixel lighting is calculated at every screen pixel. More info
