Question URP Shader Graph: Is there Pixel Depth Offset?

Hello Unity community,

simple question: it is possible to activate Pixel Depth Offset in a URP shader graph? (it'd be used for object interpenetration using parallax occlusion mapping)

I assume that PDO is the type of advanced feature that is reserved for the HDRP, but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Thank you!

No.
I need write a shader to use PDO with POM when I use URP.
It seems you can only acess Depth with manullay write a shader or use Amplify Shader Editor.

 

Thank you, that's good information.

 

You might find this reference useful in terms of accessing and manipulating depth:

Is this still not a thing in Unity 2022?

 

Bumping this as is a very important feature.

Is there any news on this for URP ?

 

Yep, this is very important stuff for a lot of effects. Should definitely be there.

 

Looking for info on this too. Id like to use it to blend detailed terrain meshes into terrain.

 

Yeah this is quite bad, this guy offers a workaround by generating shader and modifying the code:

Nice find, though would be much welcome if they enabled it in the graph like in HDRP, same for tessellation

 

Depth bias (the "Offset" attribute in regular shaders) and writing per-fragment depth are not the same thing. Depth bias uniformly offsets the depth for all fragments, but doesn't allow for things like accurate intersections in parallax occlusion mapping, or ellipsoid splatting. So this workaround (copy-pasting ShaderGraph output and adding the "Offset" attribute manually) doesn't work, or rather, it works around a different issue.
