-Because of its “in-development” nature, compatibility-breaking bugs and serious performance issues can be expected while using this tool alongside LWRP, which will be solved as the rendering pipeline itself becomes more stable and usable.

-Due to the many limitations in SRP rendering including the inability to render cameras manually, render with custom shaders/effects, the limited access to the rendering process on a per-camera basis and many others, reflections in LWRP are limited.

-Three packages are provided to support the actual LWRP releases, one for LWRP 5.7 on Unity 2019.1, one for LWRP 6.9 on Unity 2019.2 and a Beta release for Universal RP in Unity 2019.3. These packages are clearly labeled as such and easy to install, just by unpacking their contents inside the Unity Editor after double clicking on either one.

-While PIDI : Planar Reflections 3 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 2.0 - 2.9 ) or projects using the new Lightweight Rendering Pipeline (LWRP). Below you will find the steps to follow in order to install and setup PIDI : Planar Reflections 3 in any of these cases.

-Instead, once the tool has been fully imported, unpack the LWRP or Universal RP package that better matches your Unity and SRP version. If you plan to use the water shaders for LWRP / URP make sure to also import the corresponding LWRP / URP shaders from the LWRP Add on folder as they include several sub graphs and assets required by the water shaders.

-To achieve the best results and especially if you plan to use the advanced Water Shaders with LWRP / URP, you must change the settings of the Scriptable Render Pipeline Asset that you are using (you can find it in Project Settings / Graphics) and enable the Opaque and Depth texture rendering features. This will ensure that all the internal data required by PIDI Planar Reflections 3 is generated.

-While we do our best to keep up to date with LWRP releases there may be times when Unity updates their pipelines and adds or removes functionality from them (and in most cases breaking the compatibility of LWRP shaders) before we can issue the corresponding update. If your version of LWRP does not load the shaders appropriately or the demo scenes inside the LWRP 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]].
