4.0.1

**2DxFX 4.0.1 — polish & robustness patch**

- **Real-time 2D shadows in builds.** Effects added from code at runtime now cast an accurate

**sprite-silhouette** 2D shadow in player builds (no more bounding-box fallback).

- **Cleaner integration.** All scripts now live in the `BalioProductions.TwoDxFX` namespace —

no global-namespace clutter and no name collisions in your project. Existing scenes & prefabs

keep working (references are GUID-based).

- **Build reliability.** Added a `2DxFX_ShaderVariants.shadervariants` collection — add it to

*Project Settings ▸ Graphics ▸ Preloaded Shaders* to guarantee shaders ship for effects you add at runtime.

- **Documentation.** Added URP **2D Renderer** setup steps for the 2D example scenes, plus build

notes in English, 简体中文, 日本語 and 한국어.

- Refreshed editor inspector banners; assorted polish.

4.0.0

100% Universal Render Pipeline. Every shader rebuilt for URP; the legacy Built-in pipeline has been dropped.
Advanced Lightning reborn for URP 2D. AL effects are now URP 2D Sprite-Lit shaders that react to 2D Lights (Light2D): real-time lighting, normal maps and 2D shadows with an unlit fallback so they always render.
No more /Resources folder. Shaders and pattern textures are referenced directly, so your build only ships the effects you actually use smaller builds, faster loads.
Fully relocatable & dependency-free. Move or rename the folder anywhere; requires only Unity + URP, no third-party assets.
Modernized, optimized code. All effects rebuilt on a clean shared base class: cached renderers, no runtime Shader.Find / Resources.Load, a single robust material lifecycle, and optimized HLSL (half-precision color math, legacy code removed).
Water & refraction on URP. Water/Waterfall now use the URP Camera Opaque Texture instead of GrabPass.
Multilingual documentation: English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어.
Rebranded to Balio Productions.
