Using the Built-In Render Pipeline
Unity’s Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s older render pipeline. It’s not based on the Scriptable Render Pipeline, but you can configure it by choosing between different 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, and extend its functionality with command buffers and callbacks.
