URP- Can't figure out how to use post processing volume. But Global volume works fine.

So I upgraded recently to using URP and went looking for resources to help me figure everything out. I then found this Unity tutorial on making the grayscale script and shader (Writing custom effects | Post Processing | 3.1.1) and decide to start with that on learning how to implement custom post-processing effects.

So I followed this tutorial here to set everything up (Everything you need to know about Post-processing in Unity | by Vinícius Medeiros Cirne | Medium) but for some reason, I see absolutely no changes.

I was able to create a global volume and see post-processing effects fine. But for some reason when I use the post-processing volume with the same effect, nothing changes

Here are some screenshots of my setup. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am certain I am missing some very little detail somewhere.

you might need to enable Opaque Texture if the shader is using that.

Just tried that. Didn’t change anything.

If only the global volume had a way to use custom post-processing effects in the URP. Then I could use it instead. :frowning:

Latest versions of URP are not compatible with Post Process Stack V2, the documentation youMre looking at is all about it.

You must use Global Volumes:

Thanks for clarifying. Ok, is there a way to use custom post-processing effects with a global volume? I have looked thru DOZENS of posts and the consensus seems to be no, sadly. Can anyone confirm if there is a way to do this or not?

Anyone?
