A license for this asset guarantees access to updates for Unity 6.0-6.7, and potentially new versions/features.

Major Update
• Revised for Unity 6. Ready for the current editor generation.
• Rewritten rendering code for the Render Graph API.
• Rendering layer support
Limit effects only to certain 3D objects. Or use them as portals.
• New effect API
Easily control effects through script, no frills.
• Revised demo content for URP
See effects and volume blending in action.
• 3 new effects
Curvature Highlight, Motion Trails and Condition
• Timeline support
Use volume profiles in cutscenes and sequences
• Full VR support
All effects and features are compatible.

Included effects:

Stylized Effects
• Edge detection Highlight the edges of objects or colors
• Sketch Creates a hatching effect based on luminance
• Curvature Highlight Highlights the edges and crevices of geometry
• Kuwuhara Transforms the image into a real-time oil-painting

Environment Effects
• Fog Distance and height fog with 3D density noise. As well as single, gradient and skybox color modes.
• Sunshafts Radiate sun rays from a directional light or skybox

Blurring
• Blur Gaussian and Box blurring methods
• Tilt Shift Horizontal or Radial depth of field effect
• Double Vision Crosseyed vision, either full-screen or limited to the edges

Distortion
• Ripples Make the image appear to wave
• Refraction Create cracked glass, scratches, frost etc. Includes 8 HQ textures.
• Tube Distortion Bend the image like a CRT screen

Color
• Gradient Draws a gradient over the screen
• Colorize Remaps the screen's color to a gradient texture (eg. night or thermal vision)
• Hue Shift 3D Simulates psychedelic color breathing

Overlay
• Overlay Fix an image to the screen, includes blending options
• Black Bars Creates a vertical/horizontal letter-boxing effect

Image Enhancement
• Sharpen Makes the image appear crisper
• Color Grading LUT Use any third-party LUT strip, with the option to fade two LUTs over distance.

Retro
• Color Split Simulates the derefraction of color channels
• Pixelize A retro resolution effect, creates pseudo pixelart
• Dithering Creates a checker-pattern Lo-Fi shading effect (7 styles)
• Posterize Limits the screen to old school 1-16bit color depth
• Scanlines Draws (animated) horizontal lines over the screen

Feedback
• Radial blur Blurs the image towards the edges of the screen (aka Bethesda-style pain effect)
• Condition Warn for damage, inidicate healing or grow ice over the screen (8 different styles)

Rendering
• Motion Trails A fast motion blur effect that can leave trails on bright pixels
• Light streaks JJ-Abrams style lens flares. Extends bloom with light streaks
• Anaglyph 3D Simulates a 3D stereoscopic image through the use of red/green/cyan glasses.

Misc
• Kaleidoscope Splits the screen up into mirrored "pie" pieces
• Mosaic Circular, hexagonal and triangle patterns
• Transition Steps through a gradient to transition to a fill-color (eg. GBA Pokemen). Includes 12 styles.

Included prefabs:
• Comic book
• Sketch Book
• Night vision
• Canvas Painting
• Psychedelic
• Retro
• Underwater

Advanced Masking Functionality
Native support for Rendering Layer Masks to limit effects to specific objects. Or using objects as masks/portals.
No double-rendering required!

Timeline support
Control the weight of Volume Profiles directly in a timeline. Perfect for cutscenes and animation sequences.

Scripting
• Post Processing Volume Renderer component
No render feature set up needed! Renders all effects on a volume instantly.
• "Create Effect" API
Creates a virtual volume with a specific effect on it, for completely script-based effects

Performance
• Shaders are expertly hand-written, for optimal efficiency and flexibility.
• All effects are designed to make the most efficient use of resources. If applicable, they have a Performance or Appearance target mode on their render feature, making it straightforward to deploy to multiple platforms.

Compatibility
• Primarily developed for PC/Mac/Consoles.
• 2D Renderer (except 3D effects)
• Forward & Deferred rendering (including +variants)
• Full VR Rendering (SPI) support.
• Full compatibility details (please read before purchasing)

Limitations:
• Mobile platforms are not supported due to performance constrains.
• Camera stacking only works for non-depth based effects, due to limitations imposed by URP’s camera stacking system. Setups using a "Render Objects" render feature work as expected.
• Rendering Layer Masking strictly works with the 3D Renderer. The 2D renderer doesn't have this functionality.
