i recently wanted to use explosion effect from unity particle pack(which is in built-in renderer) in my project(urp).
i came up with changing the material shader from particles/standard unlit to URP/Particles/Unlit very easly.
everything changed correctly. even is ok when testing in editor play mode. there is only one wierd problem. when testing in play mode (game view maximize) or the output on android device some part of the particles doesn’t render.
i tested this problem in three different projects including unity’s urp template project, same result.
Good to hear
I will make a PR, hopefully next week, that addresses this issue. Basically soft particles need the depth texture in order to work correctly but we need to warn people when Depth Texture turned off in the Asset plus also prevent particle disappearing in builds.
Should be pretty straightforward to do and I think I can squeeze it in the next release if all goes well.
I can confirm that the problem was solved by enabling depth texture. i didn’t notice that because all i used was default urp settings and default unity particles itself.
that particles problem solved but still there is an issue with visual differences vs built-in renderer one. you can see this by checking Shockwave Particles in unity particle pack.
also i came up creating a custom urp particles shader with hdr color for base map because of another visual differences.
Soft particles not working on 2019.4.28 , URP version 7.6 and 7.7
I have enabled depth in the URP asset, also tried with and without opaque which is not working. Noticed this issue is not seen in 2020 Unity. Is there any fix for this ?
Unity 2020.3, URP 10.5, Unlit/Particles shader with Blending mode = Multiple not visible in Editor. But visible in Play mode.
Specific: paticles are only trails, vertex color is mostly red with alpha transitions, shader base color is white, texture with alpha (255 in center), emission color is enabled/disabled - doesn’t matter.
All advanced options, including “Soft particles” are disabled.
Im having the same issue in Unity 2022.3.8f1 URP with the particle pack, its weird tho because I made an empty project, and concerted the particles to URP, and they work…but not in any of my other projects. I have depth enabled.
