    Hi, I was waiting for URP reflection probe box projection feature for a while.. it was in progress according to product board:

    https://portal.productboard.com/8uf...ort?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share

    I need it for my project which is almost done I just want to learn when we can have it.. And will it be in 2019.4 (LTS) or not? Any info is appreciated, I hope one of the developers can answer that it's kinda urgent..

    That link is from 2018.

    Box Projection is easy to implement, it took me a couple of days more than 5 years ago, when Unity itself didn't support them yet.

    Obviously it's not a priority for them to get into URP, so... don't wait for them?

    Hi, thank you for your answer first of all and secondly yeah it's from 2018 but it says in progress so I was thinking if it's close for the product I won't spent an effort to create a shader or use a different approach such as triplanar reflections or something because if you check this link it's from 2018 either:
    https://portal.productboard.com/8uf...ort?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share

    and soon it'll be production ready according to @Elvar_Orn by this post:
    https://forum.unity.com/threads/urp...usion-availability.740726/page-2#post-5948045

    So I hope they'll be released together but if there won't be any update I'll use a different approach..

    Often, that "in progress" weekend-long features can take 1-2 year for a URP team.
    Don't know what happening, but i think unity falls deep into corporate bureaucracy hell.

    Well, yeah it looks like you're right because these things shouldn't take that much at least not 2 years obviously but I don't want to be unfair because I really don't know about their works, responsibilities, resources and so on.. But there's one thing I really don't like that when a feature is announced we can't take enough information about it's progress such as these features I mentioned above because it seems in the progress but at what stage? No one knows.. When will it come out? No one knows.. At least once a month, not weekly, there can be a progress update so we can know.. This is not that much hard.. I hope this can be changed soon..

    If I may ask, what specifically needs to be modified? The probes already have the box projection option, so is it a custom shader you need to make for it to work, or what is it?

    Does the Box Projection option even work in URP though? Never seems to for me (2019.4.11)

    reflection probes work for you? URP always bakes black probes for me so i figured reflections are broken in URP.

    Enlighten’s back only for a couple of years (although they will probably extend it further when they fail to produce a replacement again).

    I don’t know if things work, my stance on URP is that I’ve given up on it until I start reading consistently and overwhelmingly positive things about it from users.

    i agree man, i cant tell you how angry i've been trying to get URP right in my game. I'm ok at the moment on 11.4 but i cant leave it because i've bought so many assets that use it.
