Post-processing working in scene view but not in game view

[anon20000101]

Hello everyone,

I have tried the new post-processing stack with both Unity 5.5.4f1 and Unity 5.6.2f1. In both cases, the post-processing effects I selected are displayed in the scene view but when I start the game view, none of the selected effects are visible. No error or warning are displayed in Unity 5.5.4f1. In Unity 5.6.2f1, I get the following warning (which seems to be due to a known bug): https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/PostProcessing/issues/194

I have simply attached the PostProcessingBehaviour script to the single camera in the application and created a post-processing profile which I assigned to scripts public “profile” field.

I have also built the application for iOS and with the post-processing component attached, the screen remains black.

I use an (pre-subscription model) Pro licence.

Do you have an explanation why it doesn’t work?

Hi,

this is the problem.
You have attached PPB to the camera.
In game this has to be attached to FirstPersonCharacter if you have one.
This works

Hi,

I came across the same problem using Unity 2017.4 version. I found out that my problem was: I used Canvas and UI Elements like Button, Text, and Image. When I only used Sprite, the PostProcessingBehaviour worked just fine.

So maybe you could try my solution if you’re also using Canvas:

• Change Render Mode in Canvas from Screen Space-Overlay to Screen Space-Camera
• Dragged your Camera with the PostProcessingBehaviour to Render Camera

thanks!

For me, the problem was that I needed to check the checkbox Post-Processing in the camera parameters ‘Rendering’.

(Unity 2019.3)

I did this. But still not showing

Anyone still having problems should check this: c# - Unity Post-processing PostProcessEffectRenderer shows in Editor but not in build - Stack Overflow

Sometimes you need to manually add the shaders to the “Always Included Shaders” list in the Graphics settings

In (Topbar)Edit > Projects Settings > Graphics, I had to uncheck Use defaults and check HDR.

Just in case anyone gets stuck here, make sure to enable HDR on the Universal render pipeline asset.

This still works in 2020.3! Thank you!

This solved for me. Thanks!

What is Render Camera? I’m a bit new to unity and i am making a game but the post processing only shows on the scene and not the game scene. How do I fix this? (Im trying to make a Title screen)

Hi people. the same problem with postEffects. Scene has them, but Camera doesn’t. The Posprocessing object is separate. In MainCamera - Layer - “PostProcessing”, HDR in normal rendering is enabled.

[Speedomon]

If anyone still got this problem; not sure why but I had to disable Anti-Aliasing in the Universal Render Pipeline Asset.
You can still have it activated in your camera settings though.

[NightKotGames]

solved the problem in a simple way. deleted the camera, and created a new one.

Thank you so much! I searched for an hour before I found this! I couldn’t figure out how to use the HDR on the UI without doing this. You’re my hero!

Hello, it works for me by deactivating the “Ambient Occlusion”. In my case it was not much of a difference if I removed it. I hope it helps you. Unity 2020.2.1
