High Definition Render Pipeline Wizard reference

The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) includes the HDRP Wizard to help you configure your Unity Project so that it's compatible with HDRP.

To open the Render Pipeline Wizard, go to Window > Rendering and select HDRP Wizard.

Packages

At the top of the window, there is an information text that shows you the currently installed version of HDRP. The Check Update button provides a shortcut to the HDRP package in the Package Manager window.

You also have a button allow you to creates a local instance of the High Definition Render Pipeline Config package in the LocalPackage folder of your HDRP Project. If already installed, some information about its location are displayed below.

Default Path Settings

Property	Description
Default Resources Folder	Set the folder name that the Render Pipeline Wizard uses when it loads or creates resources.

Configuration Checking

Your Unity Project must adhere to all the configuration tests in this section for HDRP to work correctly. If a test fails, a message explains the issue and you can click a button to fix it. This helps you quickly fix any major issues with your HDRP Project. The Render Pipeline Wizard can load or create any resources that are missing by placing new resources in the Default Resources Folder.

There are three tabs that you can use to set up your HDRP Project for different use cases.

HDRP: Use this tab to set up a default HDRP Project.
HDRP + VR: Use this tab to set up your HDRP Project and enable support for virtual reality.
HDRP + DXR: Use this tab to set up your HDRP Project and enable support for ray tracing.

Each configuration is separated in two scopes:

Global: Changes the configuration settings in the Unity Editor, HDRP graphics settings, or HDRP Asset
Current Quality: Changes the configuration settings in the HDRP Asset set in Quality Settings. If no asset is assigned in Quality Settings, this mode uses the HDRP Asset set in the Graphics settings window.

HDRP

This tab provides you with configuration options to help you make your Unity Project use HDRP.

Global:

Configuration Option	Description
Color Space	Checks to make sure Color Space is set to Linear. HDRP only supports Linear Color Space because it gives more physically accurate results than Gamma. Press the Fix button to set the Color Space to Linear.
Lightmap Encoding	Checks to make sure Lightmap Encoding is set to High Quality, which is the only mode that HDRP supports. Press the Fix button to make Unity encode lightmaps in High Quality mode. This fixes lightmaps for all platforms.
Shadows	Checks to make sure Shadow Quality is set to All. Unity hides this option when you install HDRP, and automatically sets it to All. Press the Fix button to set Shadow Quality to All.
Shadowmask Mode	Checks to make sure Shadowmask Mode is set to Distance Shadowmask at the Project level. This allows you to change the Shadowmask Mode on a per-Light level. Press the Fix button to set the Shadowmask Mode to Distance Shadowmask.
Assigned - Graphics	Checks to make sure you have assigned an HDRP Asset to the Default Render Pipeline field (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Graphics). Press the Fix button to open a pop-up that allows you to either assign an HDRP Asset or create and assign a new one.
Assigned - HDRP Settings	Checks to make sure you have assigned an HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings asset to the HDRP Settings field (menu: Edit > Project Settings > HDRP Graphics). Press the Fix button to find and assign an available HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings asset. If there isn't one available, Unity creates an HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings in the Default Resources Folder.
Runtime Resources	Checks to make sure that your HDRP Asset references a Render Pipeline Resources Asset. Press the Fix button to reload the runtime resources for the HDRP Asset.
Editor Resources	Checks to make sure that your HDRP Asset references a Render Pipeline Editor Resources Asset. Press the Fix button to reload the runtime resources for the HDRP Asset.
Diffusion Profile	Checks to make sure that your HDRP Asset references a Diffusion Profile Asset. Press the Fix button to reload the runtime resources for the HDRP Asset.
Default Volume Profile	Checks to make sure you have assigned a Default Volume Profile Asset in Edit > Project Settings > HDRP Settings that's not the one included in the High Definition RP package. This check only needs to pass if you want to modify the Default Volume Profile Asset. Press the Fix button to copy the Default Volume Profile Asset from the High Definition RP package into the Default Resource Folder and assign it.
LookDev Volume Profile	Checks to make sure you have assigned a LookDev Volume Profile Asset in Edit > Project Settings > HDRP Settings that's not the one included in the High Definition RP package. This check only needs to pass if you want to use LookDev and modify the profile used in it. Press the Fix button to copy the LookDev Volume Profile Asset from the High Definition RP package into the Default Resource Folder and assign it.
Assets Migration	Checks to make sure all HDRenderPipelineAsset used in quality levels and the current HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings have been upgraded to current version of High Definition Render Pipeline. Press the Fix button to upgrade any assets that require it. Assets that have been migrated will be logged in the console. You still need to save your project to save the changes.

Current Quality:

Configuration Option	Description
Assigned - Quality	Checks to make sure you have assigned either an HDRP Asset or null to the Quality Settings field corresponding to the current used quality (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Quality). If the value is null, all Current Quality related configuration will be the one from the HDRP Asset used in Global. Press the Fix button to nullify the field.
SRP Batcher	Checks to make sure that SRP Batcher is enabled. Press the Fix button to enable it in the used HDRP Asset.
