Getting started with SRP

Apologies for the hopefully trivial question, I have been trying to start investigating the SRP for our needs. The problem is I don't seem to be able to get started. I am following the small guide on github, but there is not option to create a scriptable render pipeline, the only options that I get on the menu are :
Create->Render Pipeline ->Test ... (with stuff unrelated)
Create->Rendering-> HD render asset, HD render resource.

I am mainly focusing on the HD pipe. Once I create the asset, I have no way to assign the hand written render pipeline to it. I have downloaded the samples from the SRPBlog repo, and there there is a cs script with the same name of the render pipeline, which is somehow linked to the asset, which then display the green color option showed in the blog post.

Am I missing some steps? Do I need specific versions of unity beta and or SRP/Post processing packages? I have tried with both beta 8-10, both using package manager and manually cloning the code with no luck. Any tip on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

i am also struggling to get a good overview, and what helped a bit is Keijiros minimal render pipeline example
He creates the Asset in code from a class that extends Renderpipeline..
Still some explanation that connects all the pieces floating around this forum and github would be nice

 

@Atair, thanks man that s actually helped, Would be good to get a proper runthrough both editor end code side. Took me a while to get it running between installing and getting the corks to work. Also because we have limited access to internet meaning can't just install the packages or do a git clone. Either way thanks.

 

It is not that hard, you already mentioned it.
If you have the option to create the assets, it is already imported.
Create a new hd render pipeline asset and drag it into the render pipeline field in project settings -> graphics.

That's all.

 

Ah so that does work.. I just tried 2018.1b12 and tried to setup Lightweight render pipeline by installing the package manually in a new project with just the default 3D template(didn't bother checking the others until reading the above post).. still a S*** ton of errors and not self explanatory setup at all.. the biggest issue seems to be 2018.1b12 and the template for lightweight installs 1.1.2-preview (which does seem to work)... while the version available in the package manager is 1.1.1-preview...doesn't work in 2018.1b12 tons of errors... why isn't it updated?

 

No errors in the template version of LW RP (it install 1.1.2-preview fine) ... however doing a '3D' default template in 2018.1.b12.. the package manager only shows 1.1.1-preview...and installing that gives a bunch of errors if you try set it up and play. Which is weird.. seeing as 1.1.2-preview is clearly out and working if setup using the template.

 

@FelipeLira, my main issue is that I was not able to have the "connection" between my SRP and the asset, so whatever option I had set like fill color in my SRP would not be reflected in the asset, if I created the asset using the standard unity one. By creating manually in code it seems it links fine, if you can explain that "link" a bit more would be appreciated.

PS: I have it working by crating the asset from code.
