LWRP and light cookies (Any work around?)

I recently discovered the hard way that cookies are still not supported in LWRP, I couldn't find information on it for ages, but there it is in this blog from 2018. https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/02/2...er-pipeline-optimizing-real-time-performance/

My question is, is there any alternatives anyone knows of? perhaps a crafty shader?

 

Hope it is not too late. Here is a repo to show how to use cookies in LWRP.
https://github.com/sienaiwun/unity_lightcookie_caustic

 

Is there workaround for HDRP?

 

This looks interesting! I couldn’t get it working with URP, seems to be missing something
Any recent implementation? Was performance similar to classic light cookies?

Cheers!

 

Hi, deverolirc.
Is this repo works on your machine?
You can mainly view the changes in this commit(https://github.com/sienaiwun/unity_...mmit/6e6dcef6a3e7fef2ffa7b199a23aa6b16233a74f).
It is not hard to transfer this commit to URP. The idea is simple: to project a texture on the scene.

 

Okay gotcha, I just realized that you made changes to the render pipeline, so I guess I should just look through your changes to the pipeline & make attempt to make them on my URP.

Thanks

 

Did anybody manage to implement that repo in an actual project with URP?
I have been reading through it but I have no idea how to implement that in my project. I am just trying to get a spotlight cookie for a flashlight I am working on. Not possible at the moment with the URP that I know

 

Any updates from Unity when this will be supported?

Or more interestingly... how something called 'Universal Render Pipeline' is considered production ready when there's regressions on features like this that have been around for 20yrs in games?
