An update on development. I touched on a point some 2 years ago that URP was showing signs of branching off in (yet another) different direction. Which in turn warrants structural changes to this asset’s code. Namely, the adoption of the Render Graph API .
It will not be viable to try and incorporate this rework into the current asset’s code base. As this then needs to span both the Built-in RP and URP, from Unity 2020.3 through 2023.3 + VR support, that is an immense compatibility matrix. I also feel, that by now, I can say with certainty that the future holds more drastic changes in store. In one word: divergence.
Hence, moving forward
- SC Post Effects will remain as it is. It supports both the Built-in RP and URP in Unity 2020.3 through 2023.2.
It is not deprecated, but after 6 years it is no longer under active development. Yet remains available for projects using these versions.
-
Minor fixed/updates required to provide error-free or bug-free usage will be made for as long as possible.
-
Support for URP with the SC Post Effects asset stops after Unity 2023.2.
-
In Unity 6, Render Graph will have to be disabled to make the effects work.
-
With the release of Unity 6, I will start working a new Post Processing pack asset. This is the successor to SCPE for URP and development for new/improved features will have their home there. This is to cleanly split off URP into a separate asset and to fund development and support for it.
-
A discounted upgrade to this asset will be made available for anyone who purchased a license to SC Post Effects. If you bought SCPE 6 weeks before its release, upgrading will be free!
-
It’s difficult to speak for the future. But I’ve always maintained for good development run of 3-5 years for assets, with updates and new features being complementary. I don’t expect yearly versions/upgrades, not a fan of it, but this will depend on the direction Unity takes.
An asset such as this has only been made possible thanks to its users, so thank you 
I have taken note of the various feature requests, will which have a new jumping board in the near future
