    I tried attach one SRP batcher compatible material to two mesh renderer the frame debugger told they are batched. Then I attached the same material to two particles, one duplicate from another, the frame debugger shows: Node is not compatible with SRP batcher. Does that mean SPR batcher couldn't work with particles?

    Hey. I've done some investigation with the owner of the SRP Batcher system, and we think it could being performance benefits to particle systems.

    So I've added an item to our roadmap for it. Thanks for the idea.
    (Probably we will add support for LineRenderer and TrailRenderer at the same time, too)

    Sorry - not yet. I’m currently trying to fix a bunch of old particle issues so I’ll try to take a look at this while I’m there. Thanks for the reminder!

    Hi Richard,

    Is there any update on getting the particle system to be compatible with the SRP batcher?

    Thank you!

    While similar, it's not exactly what I mean.
    The roadmap is about the VFX graph while my gripe is with the particle system that is breaking the SRP batcher.

    In our project all the opaque objects under 'DrawOpaqueObjects' are SRP batched which is great.
    But particles from the particle system under 'DrawTransparentObjects' use material property blocks and it breaks the SRP batching according to the documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SRPBatcher.html
    The Frame Debugger says the reason is because: "SRP: Node is not compatible with SRP batcher".
    I'm hoping there's a performant solution to using particle systems while retaining SRP batching functionality.

    I'm interested in this thread too - any updates? Particle system uses only dynamic batching even if material set to URP/Particles/Simple Lit
