ARTnGame Asset Upgrades Guide

The URP and HDRP complete remakes of the system are available to all users on PM request in Sky Master Unity forum thread.

The URP and HDRP versions are being developed on and guaranteed to work in Unity 2019 (2019.4.22f and above) and Unity 2021.3 LTS (2021.3.0f and above, including Unity 6000.0.25f1).

The system is working in Multi Pass VR in the Standard Pipeline, it has not been tested in Single Pass modes. Also the URP and HDRP versions have not been fully tested and are not guaranteed to work on VR, some URP modules have been confirmed by users to work on Multi pass VR, but the system in general will not support officially VR going forward.

Not all parts of the system is for every platform, so not all parts are guaranteed to work on Mobile, or WebGL or other special platforms like consoles. Windows is the official fully supported platform where everything is tested and submitted from.

(*) Note that Ethereal core, which includes the complete Ethereal volume lighting functionality, is included in the Sky Master ULTIMATE URP, currently available through Google Drive download to all Sky Master ULTIMATE users. The Ethereal standalone asset has an extra library of Forest assets and demos and many more demo scenes for reference, so an upgrade path is offered if those extra demos and URP forest assets and foliage shaders are needed.
