[Released] URP Debug Views

Download URP Debug Views from the Unity Asset Store!



URP Debug Views - A unique plugin that adds debug views support for LWRP / URP and more!

TLDR
URP Debug Views adds must have features for anyone that uses LWRP / URP:

• most of the debug views from the built-in renderer (including Shaded Wireframe!)
• works in scene view, game view and in builds
• add your own debug view with a single shader

Available debug views

• Shaded Wireframe
• World normals
• World tangents
• Shadow cascades
• Overdraw
• Vertex color R
• Vertex color G
• Vertex color B
• Vertex color RGB
• Vertex color A
• UV0 Checker
• UV1 Checker

Available everywhere
Debug views work in scene view, game view but also in builds. It has been tested on various PCs, Mac, Android and VR.

Custom
Adding custom debug views is very easy, a single shader is enough! You can then plug the newly created debug view in an editor menu, shortcuts or a custom in-game menu.

Time saver
Being able to check problems and iterate on them quickly is very important, especially if you are an indie game developper.
"Why is this vertex color not working? Is the problem coming from the mesh, Unity or the shader?"
"What is this visual bug, is it coming from the geometry or the textures?"

Any of theses questions and many more can be answered in one click by using the correct view. Without any debug view, it can take 10 minutes, an hour, or more.
Less time fixing problems means more time working on your game. Your time is important, value it!

Full source code included!

Version 1.0.1 has been released on the asset store!

• Fixed a bug that prevented shaders from ShaderGraph to be used in a debug view.
• Added asmdefs

 

I hope you answer here. I sometimes get stucked with debug view mode. I can change mode, but "None" aka disabling debug view dosn't work. And only way to fix this issue is uninstall plugin.

 

Hi there!
I'm sorry your encountered a bug with the plugin!
Can you tell me what Unity version you're using? And what LWRP / URP version?
Do you know of any repro steps to create the issue?

Also, if you're using discord feel free to join the server (https://discord.gg/ksURBah) or poke me ph#1332 for faster iteration.

 

Unity 2019.0.3f6
URP 7.1.8
To reproduce stucking just create new project, import URP Debug, select some debug view mode. Then just create new script. After script compilation is finished you get stucked in that debug view mode.

>discord ... faster iteration
Faster iteration, but loss of information. Nobody can google this problem if all discussion go in discord, and gone in amount of days.

 

Thanks for the details. I'm working on a solution and will let you know here when it's submitted to Unity.

 

A new version (1.0.2) with the fix for 2019.1 / 2019.2 / 2019.3 has been submitted to Unity and should be approved soon!

 

@BattleAngelAlita version 1.0.2 is available on the store with the fix.
Sorry again that you had this problem; please let me know if there is anything else.

 

How to properly uninstall this plugin?

 

Hi there,
I assume you tried to delete the folder in Plugins/ and something didn't work? Can you let me know what exactly?

 

Looks like plugin disable my Renderer Features setup.

 

While you are using the debug views or when you are viewing the normal view?

 

Normal view.

 

Ok, let me check that and come back to you. Are you still on
Unity 2019.0.3f6
URP 7.1.8
?

 

I figure out what happens. I use different pipeline assets for different levels(and many URP users do something like this for a quality settings). Looks like Debug Views silently change my pipeline asset to asset that be used in the first level.

 

When you change the Debug views from "None" to anything else (except Shaded wireframe which is different), the plugin backup the SRP asset you were using to its own (to be able to render the debug view). When you go back to "None", it will put the same SRP asset back.
If you stay in "None" and the plugin changes what is happening in your game, then it's a bug! Please let me know and I'll fix it.
If it's something else, then can I have a detailed flow to get the same problem?

 

I figure out again
You change pipeline assets through QualitySettings.renderPipeline, and i change it through GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset

 

Yes, actually I was using GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset, but I think in 2019.2 or .3, they added the Quality one which takes over the graphics settings one. So I decided to change it too.
Now that I think about it, this could be an option in the plugin, to fit the one your are using.

 

URP Debug Views version 1.1.3 has been release on the store!

Changelog:

• Added support for Unity 2020.1
• Fixed all warnings

This update has no change if you are on Unity 2019.x.

Have a great day y'all!
