Setup Universal Render Pipeline

• Follow the manual below to set up the URP.
• https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/InstallingAndConfiguringURP.html

Install URP Grab Pass

1. Open the Package Manager from Window > Package Manager
2. "+" button > Add package from git URL
3. Enter the following
   • https://github.com/Haruma-K/URPGrabPass.git?path=/Assets/URPGrabPass

Or, open Packages/manifest.json and add the following to the dependencies block.

{
    "dependencies": {
        "com.harumak.urpgrabpass": "https://github.com/Haruma-K/URPGrabPass.git?path=/Assets/URPGrabPass"
    }
}

• https://github.com/Haruma-K/URPGrabPass.git?path=/Assets/URPGrabPass#1.0.0

Setup Renderer Feature

• Add the Grab Pass Renderer Feature from the inspector of the Forward Renderer Data.

• Change the properties of the Renderer Feature if necessary.

Property Name	Description
Name	Name of the Renderer Feature.
Timing	When to get and use the camera's color texture.
Grabbed Texture Name	Name of the grabbed texture when it is used in the shader.
Shader Light Modes	LightModes for shaders that use the texture.
Sorting Criteria	How to sort objects during rendering.

Write and use the shader

• Write the shader that uses the texture.
  • The shader must have the LightMode specified in the Renderer Feature.
  • You can get the texture by the name specified in the Renderer Feature.
  • Sample: https://github.com/Haruma-K/URPGrabPass/blob/master/Assets/Demo/Shaders/shader_demo_usegrabbedtexture.shader
• Assign this shader to the material to render it.
  • Objects with this material will be rendered immediately after the texture is grabbed.

Demo

1. Clone this repository.
2. Open the following scene.
