Unlocking The Power Of Unity's Scriptable Render Pipeline
Channel: Game Dev Guide
Date: 2023-04-05

Inspired by the release of Hi-Fi Rush by Bethesda, I wanted to see if I could get a similar vibrant and stylized aesthetic in Unity. Little did I know, it would swiftly lead me down a rabbit hole of custom rendering in Unity and, in turn, completely overhaul my entire perception of Unity's Scriptable Render Pipelines. This video is a showcase of that journey... so let's take a look at how we can use Scriptable Renderer Features, and Scriptable Render Passes to completely overhaul our rendering in Unity and replicate some of the techniques on show in Hi-Fi Rush.
