Question Custom Post Processing Volume.

Hi, I have finished a custom post process for URP that works perfectly when added as a Renderer Feature, but I would like to make it usable using a 'Volume'.

After creating something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. [Serializable, VolumeComponentMenuForRenderPipeline("Custom/TestEffectComponent", typeof(UniversalRenderPipeline))]
3. public class TestEffectComponent : VolumeComponent, IPostProcessComponent
4. {
5.   // ...
6.  
7.   public bool IsActive() => true;
8.   public bool IsTileCompatible() => true;
9. }
10.  

It appears in the list to add in the Volume, but nothing happens. Do you know how I can add a custom
ScriptableRendererFeature to a Volume?

Thanks!

 

Hello, it seems by now, the official way to implement a post process with integrated post process stack is just keep your renderer feature, and in the actual Execute function in your render pass, using the following syntax to access your VolumeComponent and to detect where if should to render, and get more parameters.

Code (CSharp):

1. VolumeManager.instance.stack.GetComponent<TestEffectComponent>();
2. if (customEffect.IsActive())
3. {
4.     // Do actual render
5. }
6.  

 

That's what I was afraid of. I would have liked to be able to use a 'VolumeComponent' (why is it public if there is no point in using it?) to make it easier to use an asset for a store that I am finishing. I'll have to wait.

Thanks superhow.

 

After unity 2021.3.15 i would be extra cautious to use instance in a renderer feature, it crashed Unity on build in some cases, e.g. when create instance of the feature to access its parameters

 

After the announcement of version 2022.2 Tech Stream, it seems that Custom Post Processing support both renderers.



But... in the roadmap it is still marked as "In Progress".




In the documentation (URP 15.0.2), using Renderer Features is the only option
