Unity provides a number of post-processing effects and full-screen effects that can greatly improve the appearance of your application with little set-up time. You can use these effects to simulate physical camera and film properties, or to create stylised visuals.
This page contains the following information: Render pipeline compatibility Effect availability and location
Las imágenes a continuación muestran una escena con y sin post-procesamiento.
Which post-processing effects are available and how you apply them depend on which render pipeline you are using. A post-processing solution from one render pipeline is not compatible with other render pipelines.
This table contains information about which of Unity’s post-processing solutions are compatible with each of Unity’s render pipelines.
Render pipeline | Post-processing support |
---|---|
Built-in Render Pipeline | The Built-in Render Pipeline does not include a post-processing solution by default. To use post-processing effects with the Built-in Render Pipeline, download the Post-Processing Version 2 package. For information on using post-processing effects in the Built-in Render Pipeline, see the Post-Processing Version 2 documentation. |
Universal Render Pipeline (URP) | URP includes its own post-processing solution, which Unity installs when you create a Project using a URP Template. For information on using post-processing effects in URP, see the URP post-processing documentation. |
High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) | HDRP includes its own post-processing solution, which Unity installs when you create a Project using an HDRP Template. For information on using post-processing effects in HDRP, see the HDRP post-processing documentation. |
Note: Post processing stack version 1 is now deprecated and should not be used.
This table contains information on which post-processing effects and full-screen effects are available in Unity’s different post-processing solutions, how to find those effects, and what other effects you can use to achieve a similar result.
In previous versions of Unity, you applied all post-processing effects and full-screen effects in the same way; by adding components to a Camera. In more recent versions of Unity, you can apply these effects in different ways.
Note that Unity implements effects differently depending on the package you are using. This means that effects vary in terms of performance, appearance, and configuration between packages.
Effect Name | Descripción | Available in URP integrated solution? | Available in HDRP integrated solution? | Available in PPv2 package? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ambient Occlusion | The Ambient Occlusion effect darkens the areas in your scene that are not exposed to ambient lighting. | Yes See Universal Render Pipeline: Ambient Occlusion You can also apply Ambient Occlusion as part of your baked lighting. For more information, see Baked Ambient Occlusion |
Yes Choose from SSAO using a Volume Override, or Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion You can also apply per-Material Ambient Occlusion You can also apply Ambient Occlusion as part of your baked lighting. For more information, see Baked Ambient Occlusion |
Yes See Post Processing: Ambient Occlusion You can also apply Ambient Occlusion as part of your baked lighting. For more information, see Baked Ambient Occlusion |
Anti-aliasing | The Anti-aliasing effect softens the appearance of edges in your scene. Depending on your render pipeline, you can use MSAA (hardware anti-aliasing), or FXAA, SMAA, or TAA (anti-aliasing post-processing effects) |
Yes FXAA and SMAA can be enabled in the Camera component You can also configure MSAA (hardware anti-aliasing) in Quality Settings |
Yes FXAA, SMAA, and TAA are implemented in Project Settings > Frame Settings > HDRP Default Settings; see Anti-aliasing in the High Definition Render Pipeline You can also configure MSAA (hardware anti-aliasing) in the HDRP Asset - see Anti-aliasing in the High Definition Render Pipeline. |
Yes For FXAA, SMAA, and TAA, see Post Processing: Anti-aliasing You can also configure MSAA (hardware anti-aliasing) in Quality Settings |
