Class ARCameraBackground
Add this component to a Camera to copy the color camera's texture onto the background.
If you are using the Universal Render Pipeline (version 7.0.0 or later), you must also add the ARBackgroundRendererFeature to the list of render features for the scriptable renderer.

public class ARCameraBackground : MonoBehaviourRemarks
To add the ARBackgroundRendererFeature to the list of render features for the scriptable renderer:
- In Project Settings > Graphics, select the render pipeline asset
(
UniversalRenderPipelineAsset) that is in the Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings field. - In the render pipeline asset's Inspector window, make sure that the Render Type is set to Custom.
- In render pipeline asset's Inspector window, select the Render Type > Data
asset which would be of type
ForwardRendererData. - In forward renderer data's Inspector window, ensure the Render Features list contains a ARBackgroundRendererFeature.
To customize background rendering with the legacy render pipeline, you can override the
legacyCameraEvents property and the
ConfigureLegacyCommandBuffer(CommandBuffer) method to modify the given
CommandBuffer with rendering commands and to inject the given CommandBuffer into the Camera's
rendering.
To customize background rendering with a scriptable render pipeline, create a
ScriptableRendererFeature with the background rendering commands, and insert the
ScriptableRendererFeature into the list of render features for the scriptable renderer.
Fields
