So my trees for a open world RPG that i am working on are pink so are all my fences rocks flowers and basically every thing but the grass I’ve tried deleting and re-installing all assets and prefabs but so far nothing has worked please give me some help. I’m very new to unity and am still learning the engine. anything is muchly appreciated

You need to look up what render pipeline you’re using and if your materials are set up for that pipeline.

It’s no problem, I commend you for trying which is more than most.

There are 3 pipelines people use-

  1. SRP (Standard - you’re not using any special pipeline)
  2. URP (Lightweight - a lot of less graphically intensive games use this)
  3. HDRP (High definition - you want your game to look as graphically capable as possible)

These 3 pipelines do not share shader code. So a lot of the time, newcomers will choose one of these 3 but not know that their asset packs are built for specific versions. If you want any standard shaders to convert into your render pipeline, Unity actually has this feature built in

It’s always good to figure out what you’re using and if it has custom shaders. If it does, more than likely it won’t be compatible with other render pipelines that the shader wasn’t made for. Sometimes though, asset creators will add compatibility packages for the other render pipelines.

oh let me check that made way more sense thank you let me check

i was able to move everything over to urp now what? also i just want to say how much i appreciate your help. thank you so much.

If you’ve converted everything to URP and it’s still pink, then you probably have custom shaders that aren’t converting. Are you using any specific asset packs?

oh i found a little note at the bottom at the asset just a second

in a tiny little unmarked folder there was a download to turn everything to urp thank you for the help i really appreciate it
