SimpleLit Particles in 2D Renderer?

I'm guessing the SimpleLit Particle shader that comes with URP is incompatible with the 2D renderer?
When using this shader on a particle system it is not affected by light and Particle Systems color/alpha has no effect on the final output.

Will 2D Renderer introduce particle shaders that support the 2D renderer/lighting system eventually?
Or is this a known issue and being worked on?

Left system is using 2D/Sprite-Lit-Default and looks correct.
Right system is using Particles/Simple Lit





There is no combination of options I can find that results in "SimpleLit" applying particle color in the 2D renderer

 

I'd be interested in this feature too.

 

Faced the same issue myself. Hope we can get a solution soon...

 

Any updates here?

 

Yes, you can straightforwardly make a shader/material in Shader Graph starting from Sprite Lit and it should work.

The Unity's tech demo Lost Crypt showcases simple particles that do this, here:

VFX Graph, if I recall correctly, only works with Unlit and only in newer versions of the 2D Renderer.

 

In case anyone's still wondering, sprite lit shader with the "Renderer2D" renderer in URP doesn't work with particules because they need an input texture named "_BaseMap".

If you want to make the sprite lit shader work with particules in URP, you have to duplicate the sprite shader and replace all _MainTex occurence in the file with _BaseMap, and it should work !
