When attempting to use VFX Graph in my project I found out that the particles dont render/are invisible when using the 2D Renderer in URP in Unity 2019.3, but work when using the standard forward renderer, I tried messing around with the shader that the VFX graph used but that didn’t solve anything, I’ve tried to search for documentation of using VFX graph with 2D but I can’t find any, are there any solutions to this? If not, will there be support of VFX Graph for 2D in the future?

I would like info on this too as it looks incompatible with the 2D renderer. If I add another custom renderer it still does not work. But when I set the custom one as default it works and I can see particles, however this breaks the 2D lights

Me too!! I’m really asking for this!!
I was interested as well but lost hope when I saw that the Lost Crypt (Unity’s 2D Render Pipeline Playground) was using the standard particle system. This post, scroll to Cinematic and Particles. I’m sure it’s coming though; we’ll just have to see if it gets here before the pipeline comes out of experimental.
There is a new subforum for VFX Graph (Finally ! ) . I posted about this topic there. Please add you comments their to get increase the visibility of this requirement
The bug response was as follows:
we were able to reproduce your issue and unfortunately, the Universal RP 2D Renderer does not have VFX support yet.
Nothing else, no potential timeline. So I guess we just have to wait.

Is it still the same? No VFX support in 2D Renderer?
Dev recently gave status update:[quote=“”]
For VFX graph specifically, the 2D team has done some of the work needed for compatibility, and the VFX graph team is working on the remaining changes.

I’m not very good with all this packagies mess. But with recent news about DOTS destiny i want to ask: can i hope this feature will be available in 2020 LTS?
No, very, very unlikely. It’s not implemented in the 2021 alpha, so there’s no way it’s getting into 2020 LTS.
