Create a HDRP Project from the template
To set up and manage your Unity Projects, install the Unity Hub.
Unity provides an HDRP Template Project which you can use to get set up with HDRP. To create an HDRP Template Project:
- Open the Unity Hub,
- Go to Projects, and select New Project.
- Open the Sample tab and select 3D Sample Scene (HDRP).
- Enter a Project name.
- Select Create project.
Unity creates a Project and automatically installs the HDRP package, and all its dependencies. After Unity opens the Template Project, you can see the main Scene.

This template is a great starting point for projects aiming for high-end graphics. It includes multiple physically based lighting setups to help you realistically illuminate environments with HDRP. It also includes examples for many of HDRP's features such as Decals, Volumes, and physically accurate Materials.
Install the High Definition RP package
To install HDRP, add the High Definition RP package to your Unity Project:
- Open your Unity project.
- To open the Package Manager window, go to Window > Package Manager.
- In the Package Manager window, in the Packages: field, select Unity Registry from the menu.
- Select High Definition RP from the list of packages.
- In the bottom right corner of the Package Manager window, select Install.
Note: To fix any errors that appear, use the HDRP Wizard.
