Low-level native plug-in rendering extensions

On top of the low-level native plug-in interface, Unity also supports low level rendering extensions that can receive callbacks when certain events happen. This is mostly used to implement and control low-level rendering in your plug-in and enable it to work with Unity’s multithreaded rendering.

Due to the low-level nature of this extension the plug-in might need to be preloaded before the devices get created. Currently the convention is name-based; the plug-in name must begin GfxPlugin (for example: GfxPluginMyNativePlugin).

La definición de la extensión de rendering expuesta por Unity se encuentra en el archivo IUnityRenderingExtensions.h, provisto con el Editor (mire la ruta del archivo Unity\Editor\Data\PluginAPI).

All platforms supporting native plug-ins support these extensions.

API de Extensiones de Rendering

To take advantage of the rendering extension, a plug-in should export UnityRenderingExtEvent and optionally UnityRenderingExtQuery. There is a lot of documentation provided inside the include file.

plug-in callbacks on the rendering thread

A plug-in gets called via UnityRenderingExtEvent whenever Unity triggers one of the built-in events. The callbacks can also be added to CommandBuffers via CommandBuffer.IssuePluginEventAndData or CommandBuffer.IssuePluginCustomBlit from scripts.
