ScriptableRenderContext.BeginScopedRenderPass

パラメーター

説明

Schedules the beginning of a new render pass. If you call this a using-statement, Unity calls EndRenderPass automatically when exiting the using-block. Only one render pass can be active at any time.

This method does the same as BeginRenderPass, but it will return an IDisposable that can be used in a using-statement, and so it is not necesssary to manually call EndRenderPass.

A render pass provides a new way to switch rendertargets in the context of a Scriptable Rendering Pipeline. As opposed to the SetRenderTargets function, the render pass specifies a clear beginning and an end for the rendering, alongside explicit load/store actions on the rendering surfaces.

The render pass also allows running multiple subpasses within the same renderpass, where the pixel shaders have a read access to the current pixel value within the renderpass. This allows for efficient implementation of various rendering methods on tile-based GPUs, such as deferred rendering.

Render passes are natively implemented on Metal (iOS) and Vulkan, but the API is fully functional on all rendering backends via emulation (using legacy SetRenderTargets calls and reading the current pixel values via texel fetches).

The render pass mechanism has the following limitations: - All attachments must have the same resolution and MSAA sample count - The rendering results of previous subpasses are only available within the same screen-space pixel coordinate via the UNITY_READ_FRAMEBUFFER_INPUT(x) macro in the shader; the attachments cannot be bound as textures or otherwise accessed until the renderpass has ended - iOS Metal does not allow reading from the Z-Buffer, so an additional render target is needed to work around that - The maximum amount of attachments allowed per render pass is currently 8 + depth, but note that various GPUs may have stricter limits.
