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.

Ultimate Lit Shader is a powerful replacement for Unity's Standard shader, designed to give your game a unique, professional look while prioritizing ease of use for artists. This shader employs an advanced lighting model that sets your game apart visually, combined with artist-friendly features that streamline the texturing workflow.


Key Features:

  1. Superior Lighting Model: Stand out from the crowd with a distinctive visual style that enhances your game's atmosphere.
  2. Artist-Friendly Texture Inputs: Forget about complex texture packing! Ultimate Lit Shader uses individual texture inputs for each PBR property, making it incredibly easy to work with downloaded textures or iterate on your designs.
  3. Full PBR Texture Set Support: Utilize the complete standard PBR texture set including Albedo, Roughness, Metalness, Normal, Height, Ambient Occlusion, and Emission maps.
  4. Per-Texture Exposure Control: Fine-tune the look of each material input texture with individual exposure settings, allowing for precise matching with your artist's Look Dev.
  5. Vertex-Height Blending: Easily blend between two material sets within a single material using vertex colors and height maps. Add texture variations to simple geometry without the need for complex 3D modeling.
  6. Optimized for Unity: Designed to work seamlessly within the Unity ecosystem, ensuring compatibility and performance.

Whether you're creating a vast open world, detailed characters, or intricate props, Ultimate Lit Shader provides the tools you need to achieve stunning, professional-quality visuals with unprecedented ease.
