Problem with graphics since downloading water textures. Can you help me please?

[GreenCanine51299]

I have a massive problem now!
Everything was fine and worked out. I downloaded some materials and designed my map, developed the coding for the player, the lighting, the skybox etc. But then I wanted to create a sea and downloaded a water shader that was HDRP. Then it suddenly happened. Everything turned pink, even the materials I already had, that were working just fine. Unity then sent me some messages, telling me there are errors and I have to convert everything to HDRP. I did that and now everything is ruined. My lighting, my skybox, everything is gone and there is no way I can set it back, because suddenly the interface for these things are gone, where you can apply things otherwise. I succeded in changing one asset/material back to it’s normal state, but all the other ones are still pink. What should I do?

The built-in render, URP and HDRP are all totally separate renderers. Unfortunately you can’t mix and match materials between URP, built-in, and HDRP. Once you go HDRP you can only use HDRP materials.

just adding these for reference,
to make (custom) shaders for all pipelines:

Better Shaders - An improved Surface Shader system for Standard, URP, HDRP

[image] Better Shaders is a system which targets the following goals: Write Lit Shaders in a simple format, akin to Unity’s Surface Shader system Shaders automatically compile to Standard, URP, and HDRP pipeline Shaders can be distributed and packaged for the asset store without Better Shaders Shader creation is more modular for developers and users of those shaders If you've written a surface shader, Better Shaders will feel right at home to you, and surface shaders can be quickly ported…

Block Shaders: Surface Shaders for SRPs and more (Public Demo Now Available!)

Greetings from the Shader team! We heard your feedback regarding the need for SRP compatible surface shaders, as well as a better way to integrate with Unity’s Shader system, and have been hard at work to provide a meaningful solution which we are now happy to announce in the form of Block Shaders. Block Shaders introduce a streamlined and modular text-based shader authoring workflow, and allow to override and extend the functionality of existing shaders, without the complexity of modifying …
