Once you've discovered a performance problem in your game, how should you go about fixing it? This tutorial discusses some common issues and optimization techniques for scripts, garbage collection, and graphics rendering.

The Universal Render Pipeline, is a powerful solution that delivers beautiful graphics and performance while scaling to a wide range of platforms. Learn how to create optimized and realistic lighting using the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) and learn the key lighting features of the Universal Render Pipeline. Whether you’re building 2D, 3D, VR, or AR projects, if you want to develop once and deploy everywhere, this is the rendering technology to use.

Watch the recording of the live virtual session where a Unity Certified Instructor led learners through a series of mini-challenges to create and upgrade existing projects to use the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). The URP aims to optimize real-time performance on traditionally performance-constrained platforms, such as mobile devices or low-end consoles and PCs. Learn how to optimize your project using Universal Render Pipeline (URP) by customizing the URP Asset Settings and converting your project’s Materials to use URP Shaders. Throughout the session, you will learn how to: Import and set up the Universal Render Pipeline in a new project. Convert existing projects from the Standard Render Pipeline to URP. Add new URP Assets to the Graphics Pipeline. Customize the project using each of the URP Asset Settings: General Quality Lighting Shadows Post-Processing Advanced Convert existing project Materials to URP Materials. Create and use new URP Materials

The High-Definition Rendering Pipeline (HDRP) is designed to produce high-quality visuals with ease. If you want high-end visual quality and are aiming for your project to be released on high-end PC’s and Consoles then you will benefit from using HDRP. In this tutorial, you will learn about the HDRP and its uses.

The goal of the Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP) is to provide optimized performance for developers targeting a broad range of platforms, VR, and games with limited realtime lighting needs. It does this by making some tradeoffs with regard to lighting and shading.

Inside the Game window, there’s a Stats button in the top right corner. When this button is pressed, an overlay window appears. This window shows real-time rendering statistics, which is incredibly useful for optimizing performance. In this tutorial, you will learn about the Stats window and its uses.

Volumetric Fog is a powerful tool in an environment artist's kit. Volumetric Fog is a wonderful addition to any scene that could use a sense of space, whether it be a dusty town, a gloomy cemetery, or a grand throne room. Most implementations of fog, such as exponential or linear fog, are computed at an object’s surface by the Shader that the surface uses. At most, this is once per pixel. Volumetric fog, on the other hand, is computed at intervals in the empty space in front of the camera, independent of any surface. In this tutorial, you will learn to create and adjust Volumetric Fog.
