Project Settings -> Quality -> Rendering -> Render Pipeline Asset

Project Settings -> Quality -> Rendering -> Render Pipeline Asset

What is this field for? I don't see any explanation in the documentation.

I do have a URP asset assigned to Project Settings -> Graphics -> Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings

It seems like it wants the same asset assigned?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

My guess is that you can have multiple Render Pipeline Assets for use with the quality tiers? E.g. you may not want many URP features in use on the 'Low' tier, while you can crank everything up on the 'High' tier.

Edit: Actually, that's exactly it. Create a new URP project and take a look inside. You'll see three different tiers with three different Render Pipeline Asset files.

 

Ah... Got it. Thanks!

 

I didn't get it yet. Then "Graphics -> Scriptable Render Pipeline Asset" is a fallback, while the "Quality -> Rendering -> Render Pipeline Asset" is an override to that setting? Or do they get a different portion of settings for each purpose?

 

That is one of the most obscure settings about the pipelines. Most support tickets i get is simply because the pipeline was not assigned to both Graphics and Quality slots or a different one is assigned to each.

From what i gather, the quality one is optional and can have one different pipeline for each quality tier, to toggle maybe on the fly during the game as needed. I have not verified this functionality though, plus seems to be a very strange setup in general and not clear at all.
