Creative Core: Post-processing Quiz

Post-processing is just like applying filters to a photo you take with your phone. This can make your scene look more beautiful and interesting. 

In this mission, you will use post-processing to achieve a particular look and feel in a scene.

By the time you complete this learning experience, you will be able to:

Evaluate whether post-processing is an appropriate tool for a given goal.

Implement a particular visual style in a project by configuring a post-processing profile.

This project is a standalone learning experience which uses content developed for the 

. You’ll find everything you need to get started with post-processing in Unity, but you may also notice references to the guided learning journey for that pathway.

If you decide that you’d like to complete the whole 

, you can start at any time. You’ll receive credit for any tutorials that you have already completed when you do.

In this quiz, you will assess your knowledge of post-processing in Unity. 

Describe the difference between post-processing and rendering

Explain the purpose of post-processing, including visual style and visual fidelity

Understand the cost of post-processing on performance

Evaluate whether post-processing is an appropriate tool for a given goal

Understand the purpose of common post-processing effects, such as bloom, depth of field, tonemapping, and color adjustments

Set up a camera to allow for post-processing

Describe scenarios where a global volume or local volume would be more appropriate

Add a new global post-processing volume to the scene and assign a new post-processing profile

Describe the purpose of a post-processing profile

Modify a post-processing profile by adding and removing module overrides

Add a new local post-processing volume to the scene and edit its boundaries.

Implement a particular visual style in a project by configuring a post-processing profile

Which of the following most accurately describes how post-processing works? Select one answer.

Post-processing is applied to the 2D image after it is initially rendered rather than doing any 3D calculations. You can use these effects to simulate physical camera and film properties, or to create stylized visuals.

Which of the following would be an appropriate use of post-processing? Select all answers that apply.

Post-processing can be used to achieve all kinds of visual styles including more or less realism, color grading to mimic a particular style, or to simulate physical camera properties like depth of field or bloom.

Which of the following are accurate descriptions of post-processing effects? Select all answers that apply.

These descriptions of tonemapping and vignetting are inaccurate. The darkening of creases, holes, intersections and surfaces that are close to each other actually describes Ambient Occlusion. Tonemapping is actually the process of remapping the HDR values of an image to a new range of values. Its most common purpose is to make an image with a low dynamic range appear to have a higher range. The description of Vignetting is backwards; it is actually darkening the edges of an image compared with the center.

You have added a single global post processing volume and enabled several effects. However, the effects do not appear in the Game view. What might resolve this problem? Select one answer.

In order to see the effects of a post-processing volume, the Post-Processing property must be enabled on that camera. 

There are no name requirements for volume profiles. 
If there is only one global volume, the priority is irrelevant. 

Since it’s a global volume, the position is irrelevant. 

There are no name requirements for volume profiles. 

If there is only one global volume, the priority is irrelevant. 

Examine the image below. Which post-processing effects are definitely applied in that scene? Select all answers that apply.

You can very clearly see the bloom from the central green capsule and the fire in the background. You can very clearly see the Depth of Field from the blurred background objects.

True or False: Post-processing often has a major impact on the performance of your app, so it should be used carefully when targeting lower-end or mobile devices.

Post-processing effects can slow down your application a lot. If you’re using URP for lower-end or mobile devices, these effects are the most “mobile-friendly” by default: Bloom, Chromatic Aberration, Color Grading, Lens Distortion, Vignette.
