Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

Asset is under Unity Companion License.


Starter Assets are designed to work as a quick start into prototyping and developing character controllers for various game genres, using systems and methods that are easy to build and expand upon for different projects.


Important note:

  • Find the latest release as a local package here. Compatible with 2022.3 LTS and 6000.0 LTS!
  • The Starter Assets packages are compatible with Unity 2020.3 LTS and Unity 2021.3 LTS.
  • The First/Third Person Starter Assets packages require the Input System and Cinemachine packages to work. The packages will automatically install when you import a Starter Assets package into your project.

The Starter Assets - First Person Controller package includes:

  • A First Person character controller
  • Playground Scene and level prototyping Prefabs
  • UI Canvas overlays for mobile (Joystick and Touch Zone)

Get started

  • After downloading and importing the package into your project, you can load the sample Scene (called Playground) under: Assets/StarterAssets/FirstPersonController/Scenes
  • Also check out the full package documentation and license terms (Readme.asset, StarterAssets_Documentation.pdf and license.txt) under Assets/StarterAssets.

The Starter Assets are using the built-in CharacterController component.

Technical details

Important note on package dependencies


The First/Third Person Starter Assets packages require the Input System and Cinemachine packages to work.


Please accept the Input System pop-up and Editor restart to successfully install the New Input System. If you accidentally decline, you can install the New Input System through the Package Manager.


If you want to use the Input System and Input Manager (Old) together, or switch your project back to the old Input Manager, you will need to go to Edit > Project Settings, then select Player.


Under Other settings, you will see that Input System Package (New) is selected. Here you can switch to your preferred setup. Please bear in mind that the Starter Assets do not work with the Input Manager (Old) setting.


To Set up with URP:

Adding the Asset to your Graphics settings

To use URP, you need to add the newly created Universal Render Pipeline Asset to your Graphics settings in Unity. If you don't, Unity still tries to use the Built-in render pipeline.

To add the Universal Render Pipeline Asset to your Graphics settings:

  1. Navigate to Edit > Project Settings... > Graphics.
  2. In the Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings field, add the Universal Render Pipeline Asset you created earlier. When you add the Universal Render Pipeline Asset, the available Graphics settings immediately change. Your Project is now using URP.
