overlay was my goto solution but … it’s overlay so it goes through geometry in world UI
Did you find a solution to this?
Surface shaders are not supported with SRP which is why you get the pink error shader.
New shaders with support for SRP are included in the latest preview release of the TMP package for Unity 2020.3 or newer. Note some of those shaders and custom editors were written for version 11.0 of the SRP packages but now broken for version 12 but will be updated in the next preview release.
The preview release for Unity 2020.3 or newer is version 3.2.0-pre.1.
There is also a long thread about this topic and HDRP shaders for TMP which contains additional information.
there any solution for 2019.4 version?
No solution for 2019.4 due to major changes in SRP between 2019.4 and 2020.3. I wanted to support 2019.4 but too many changes from inspectors, SRP itself, ShaderGraph, etc.
Ok thanks.
I cannot upgrade the project…
There is any way to have 3d text thet is not always on top on URP and 2019.4 version?
I’m still seeing the Distance Field (Surface) shaders render magenta in 3.2.0-pre.2 and Unity 2021.2.9
Bump.
Bump, same problem.
SRP does not support Surface Shaders.
In Unity 2020.3 or newer, you should be using version 3.2.0-pre.3 of the TMP package which include new shader designed for SRP.
Since these new shaders are contained in the TMP Essential Resources, you will need to re-import via the “Window - TextMeshPro - Import …” menu after upgrading to the newer version of the package.
The above information is contained in the Update Notes of the package in Package Manager.
TextMeshPro still bug when I try to use Surface Material
I already install TextMeshPro 3.2.0-pre.3 I use Unity 2021.3.9f1 and I use URP 12.1.7
How to fix this? or How to make a text not bright in a dark scene like this
Surface Shaders are not compatible with SRP which includes URP and HDRP. This is not specific to TMP. This is an SRP thing.
Version 3.2.0-pre.3 includes new shaders that are compatible with SRP. These new shaders are contained in the updated TMP Essential Resources which you will need to import via the “Window/TextMeshPro/Import TMP Essential Resources” menu option.
Once these have been imported, you will find then in the shader list under “TextMeshPro/SRP/…”.
Thank you for your reply. I use the shader from this
