-Besides this, the Universal RP pipeline lacks several core features present in the Standard (Built-in) pipeline which has make it impossible to fully port all features of PIDI 2D Reflections 2 to Universal RP. Below you can find a small comparison detailing which features are available in LWRP and which ones are absent or just partially implemented.+Besides this, the Universal RP pipeline lacks several core features present in the Standard (Built-in) pipeline which has make it impossible to fully port all features of PIDI 2D Reflections 2 to Universal RP.

-While PIDI : 2D Reflections 2 has been designed to be integrated to any project at any stage of development with little to no setup required, there are still some considerations to be made for projects which are upgrading from the original release (version 1.0 - 1.9 ) or projects using the new Lightweight Rendering Pipeline (LWRP). Below you will find the steps to follow in order to install and setup PIDI : 2D Reflections 2 in any of these cases.+While PIDI : 2D Reflections 2 has been designed to be integrated to any project at any stage of development with little to no setup required, there are still some considerations to be made for projects which are upgrading from the original release (version 1.0 - 1.9 ) or projects using the Universal Rendering Pipeline.

-While we do our best to keep up to date with Universal RP releases there may be times when Unity updates their pipelines and adds or removes functionality from them before we can issue the corresponding update. If your version of Universal RP does not load the shaders appropriately or the demo scenes inside the Universal RP Add on folder show pink materials please be patient, as we will issue the corresponding patch usually within 1-2 days of a new LWRP release or contact us to let us know the details of the error to our [[support@irreverent-software.com|support email]].+While we do our best to keep up to date with Universal RP releases there may be times when Unity updates their pipelines and adds or removes functionality from them before we can issue the corresponding update.

-LWRP is a rendering pipeline still in development by Unity and, as such, has several limitations when compared to the Standard Pipeline. The lack of a proper manual rendering function as well as additional data required for the cameras to work mean that the performance of reflections in LWRP is usually lower. Besides this, due to a lack of support for Camera stacking, LWRP is not compatible with Parallax Backgrounds. All other features are available, but might be slower.

-Starting with version 2.07, the LWRP Add on package of PIDI 2D Reflections 2 comes with an additional package called "ShaderGraph Elements" and the number of the LWRP version they are intended for. They include ShaderGraph example shaders that you can use as a reference to build your own as well as a very useful SubGraph that handles most of the reflection parameters for you, as long as you provide the necessary inputs.+Starting with version 2.07, the Universal RP Add on package of PIDI 2D Reflections 2 comes with an additional package called "ShaderGraph Elements" and the number of the Unviersal RP version they are intended for.
