URP Lit Shader -> Main Preview remains grey

Hi all,

its my first post here Iam very new and struggeling very bad with the URP LIT Shader graph. I have some effects (Fresnel, Time, Multiply and so on) and all look fine BUT i only see grey on the Main Preview, no matter what iam doing. (See atteched "shadergraph" picture) When iam connecting the chain to Fragment -> Emission, nothing happends. The only change i can see is the Base Color, but only on the material itself.

It doesnt matter which tutorial iam trying, nothing happends on my side outside the graph itself. When iam assigning the material to an object, i only can see basecolor. Its frustrating.

Regular textures on some models are applying as the should, but i still cant do anything with the Lit Shader.

I would be grateful if someone can help me here.

My Project -> Graphic settings are atteched

Best, Marc

 

Just forgot: Its a 2D project. Shadergraph -> URP -> LIT is used and Universal Render Pipeline Asset

 

Same problem here.

 

Have you properly set your URP renderer in the Graphics section of your project preferences? Typically implementing URP in 2D means creating your pipeline asset, then right clicking said asset and creating a 2D renderer under the rendering menu. Then you select the URP asset and change the renderer from the one that it auto generated, to the new 2D one you just created. After that you have to go into project preferences and set the renderer under the Graphics section, as well as the Quality section (for each quality level). Hope this helps, good luck!

Afterwards, have you also converted your project and scene to use the new URP renderers? You do this by clicking Assets > Rendering > Update Scene / Update Project, or if using the 2D renderer, those are under Assets > Rendering > 2D > Update Scene / Project.

 

I have the same issue. The Main Preview is fine for Unlit shaders, however, when selecting Lit it greys out.

 

same problem for me.

Lit not shown.


Unlit shown.



Any solution?

 

Same problem for me. You can see below the difference between lit and unlit.
In the lit version the preview is always gray.

 

Simplest solution, don't use the Lit shader, us the SPRITE Lit material setting. The 2D Render pipeline isn't programmed to utilize the 3D lights but to use the 2D lights. The regular Lit shader has no concept of the 2D lights, so it's not going to render properly. Unlit shader is basically the same between sprite or regular rendering since it doesn't really need to touch anything that differs between the pipelines.

If you're intending to use 3D and 2D shading in your project, I would recommend sticking to the regular non-2D pipeline of URP.
