    Hi

    Unity HDRP micro-site refers to several reference projects. All of them are in bad shape. Most of them barely compile. Tried them in the recommended versions (e.g 2020.2.x LTS), recent LTS versions (e.g 2020.3.x) and recent main-stream releases. 2021.x. This is quite frustrating.

    Unity HDRP is so powerful. It appears to be the "flagship" rendering pipeline from Unity. Would be nice if the reference projects are functional with upto date docs. Needless to say it will help adoption.

    Most of these projects are in the 2020.x time-period. Would be nice to get them updated.

    After some teeth-pulling I managed to get the "SmallOfficeRayTracing" working in my environment. But am struggling to repeat it.

    Request you to treat this as "constructive criticism" to help improve Unity. Happy to help out.

    Regards

    Pls see attached screenshot. Contains a bunch (42) compilation errors. Googling for it also reveals nothing. Will comb these forums of course.

    This is the case with most of the SRP sample content unity provides right now sadly.:(

    Finally figured out the issue with "SmallOfficeRayTracing"

    (https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/SmallOfficeRayTracing )

    1) Had to disable player-setting "Use Deterministic Compilation". (Unity Editor does give out this warning)

    2) Upgrade "High Definition RP Config" package from ver 8 to 11 (Figured out by poking around)


    Hope Unity can fix that in "GitHub". If there is a mechanism to allow interested folks like me to fix such issues, then I request access to the "github" folder.

    Will work on the other Unity Reference Projects as well.

    Regards
    /rk
