# Using the Tilemap Renderer with URP 2D
|
|
|
|
Setup and required settings when using the Tilemap Renderer component with URP 2D.
|
|
|
|
You can use the Tilemap Renderer with URP 2D to enable [2D lighting](../Lights-2D-intro.md) on [tiles](xref:Tilemap-TileAsset) and [tilemaps](xref:class-Tilemap), especially [isometric tilemaps](xref:Tilemap-Isometric) which simulate pseudo-depth. Doing so requires you to setup your project and adjust the Tilemap Renderer's settings in the following ways.
|
|
|
|
When you select the [2D Renderer Data asset](../2DRendererData-overview.md) for your project's [Scriptable Render Pipeline](xref:ScriptableRenderPipeline), the Renderer Data asset assumes control of the Tilemap Renderer's **Transparency Sort Mode** property settings and requires you to adjust the settings under the 2D Renderer Data asset's property settings instead of in the Project Settings.
|
|
|
|
To optimize the rendering of the Tilemap Renderer component with the 2D lighting system, Unity can batch the rendering of the [Tilemap Renderer component](xref:class-TilemapRenderer) with the [Scriptable Render Pipeline Batcher (SRP Batcher)](xref:SRPBatcher) to improve the rendering performance of the Tilemap Renderer with other sprite renderers with the same rendering characteristics.

## Adjusting the Transparency Sort Mode settings in the 2D Renderer Data asset
|
|
|
|
When you [create an isometric tilemap](xref:Tilemap-Isometric-CreateIso), one of the steps requires you to set the **Transparency Sort Mode** (**Edit** > **Project Settings...** > **Graphics** > **Camera Settings**) to **Custom Axis** and to set it to the [required values](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Tilemap-Isometric-CreateIso.html#customaxis) to have Unity render the Tiles with the pseudo-depth of an isometric perspective.

|
|
|
|
If you want to use the 2D Renderer with the Tilemap Renderer in your Project, first create the URP Asset and its associated 2D Renderer Data asset by right-clicking the Asset window and go to **Create > Rendering > URP Asset (with 2D Renderer)**. Then go to your Project's **Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings** (menu: **Edit > Project Settings... > Graphics**) and select the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) 2D asset.
|
|
|
|
When you do so, the **Camera Settings** (including the **Transparency Sort Mode** property become hidden.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The 2D Renderer Data asset now controls the **Transparency Sort Mode** property settings, and the values set in the active Renderer 2D Data asset supersedes the values set in the **Project Settings**. Select the 2D Renderer Data asset go to its Inspector window. In the General section, set **Transparency Sort Mode** to **Custom Axis**.
|
|
|
|
<br/>*Select* ***Custom Axis*** *in the 2D Renderer Data asset.*
|
|
|
|
The **Transparency Sort Axis** property settings then become available. Use the same values for the **Transparency Sort Axis** as those used to for the [rendering of tiles on an isometric tilemap](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Tilemap-Isometric-CreateIso.html#customaxis).

## Enabling the Scriptable Render Pipeline Batcher
|
|
|
|
To prepare the Tilemap Renderer for SRP batching:
|
|
|
|
1. Fulfill the requirements and steps for enabling the [SRP Batcher](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SRPBatcher.html#using-the-srp-batcher) in URP.
|
|
2. Select the Tilemap Renderer component and go to its **Mode** property setting.
|
|
3. Select either **Individual** or **SRP Batch** (only supported in the Universal Render Pipeline version 15 onwards).
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: **Chunk** mode is incompatible with the SRP batcher.
