    Hi,
    Is it possible to convert assets from Standard to URP? I can't find the option:
    Edit > Rendering > Materials > Convert All Built-In Materials to URP

    It looks like it has moved to Window > Rendering > Render Pipeline Converter.

    I had to press the Initialize Converters and then the Convert Assets buttons.

    This feature completely mangles my (small!) project in 2021.2.b6, if it even finishes trying so, so I do not recommend it.

    @Thygrrr I would love to hear which converters you initialized and what happened.
    If you only initialize the Material Converter and run converters, is it still "completely mangled"?
    It is a new system and we would like to get feedback so all feedback is welcome.

    In principle, the feature sounds like a good improvement over the old upgrade workflow.

    The material converters will simply not finish running in 2 out of 3 cases, (but seem to keep busy - endless loop?) and even a "successful" run logs errors aplenty.

    The engine will then display a internal assertion failure regarding camera virtual render targets at any opportunity, making testing with Error Pause on a nightmare.

    I use a camera stack, but I don't use render textures. I thought it had something to do with post processing, but it's just the overlay cameras, even with a freshly created default renderer on a virgin pipeline asset.

    Most materials don't seem like they were touched at all. (my main materials were URP 11 mats).

    The project is fine in 2021.1, and I selected the Upgrade path from a previous URP.

    @Thygrrr thanks for the explanation.
    I just want to clarify one thing. Do you have all the converters enabled when you click Initialize Converters and Run Converters? Or only 1 (Material Converter)?
    I just want to figure out in which converter the issue might come from. We have a few converters already.
    Kind regards

    I just recently updated Unity to 2021.2, and discovered this is a thing.
    Is there any plans on actually letting us drag specific materials into the upgrader?
    atm using checkboxes is borderline unusable for any projects that aren't brand new.

    Edit: I am realizing now, I should just upgrade Materials in a sandbox project. Annoying, but usable.
