Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Additional compatibility information

Note that the new URP Render Graph pipeline is a totally new and different pipeline than the normal URP, so all effects had to be re-written from scratch for the new platform.

(*) The system has not been tested in VR, WebGL, Consoles and Mobile. Currently the system supports one directional and 6 local lights as default, with an option to add a set number of extra local lights or infinite, though the 6 local lights number is recommended for performance reasons.

DISCLAIMER

The Ethereal asset has been developed and uploaded using Unity 2019.4.22f1 LTS and 2021.3f1. Any later Unity version is supported as soon as possible through patches and few changes mentioned in the final section of the manual, please also contact me for support with any new Unity version, as new Unity versions may break any asset and will help directly with new patches as needed.
