# Project Setup

### Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Your Project for Volumetric Light Rendering in URP

<br>

#### 1. Configure Shaders in Graphics Settings

<br>

• Open the Graphics Settings:

• In the Unity Editor, go to “Edit” > “Project Settings…”.

• Select “Graphics” from the list on the left.

• Assign Volumetric Light Shaders:

• Locate the “Always Included Shaders” section within the Graphics Settings.

• Drag and drop the shaders from Project > Dynamics > Volumetric Light > Shaders into this list.

• Make sure all necessary shaders from the Volumetric Light package are included.

#### 2. Assign the URP Pipeline Asset

<br>

• Locate the “Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings” Field:

• In the Graphics Settings window, find the “Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings” field.

• Assign the Pc\_High Pipeline Asset:

• Drag the Pc\_High pipeline asset from Project > Dynamics > Volumetric Light > Settings into the “Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings” field.

• This ensures that the Pc\_High asset is used as the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) Asset for your project.

#### 3. Assign URP Global Settings

<br>

• Scroll Down to the URP Global Settings Section:

• Still in the Graphics Settings window, scroll down to find the “URP Global Settings” section.

• Assign the UniversalRenderPipelineGlobalSettings:

• Drag the UniversalRenderPipelineGlobalSettings asset from Project > Dynamics > Volumetric Light > Settings into the “URP Global Settings” field.

• This sets the global settings for URP in your project.

#### 4. Clean Up Other Settings Files

<br>

• Locate Default URP Settings:

• Navigate to Assets > Settings in your Project window.

• If your project was created using the URP template, this folder may contain default settings files.

• Remove Unnecessary Settings Files:

• Delete any other URP settings files in the Assets > Settings folder that are not part of the Volumetric Light package to avoid conflicts.

• To delete a file, right-click on it and select “Delete”.

<br>

#### 5. Verify and Save Your Project Setup

<br>

• Double-check Your Graphics Settings:

• Ensure that the Pc\_High pipeline asset and the UniversalRenderPipelineGlobalSettings are correctly assigned.

• Save Your Project by clicking “File” > “Save Project” in the Unity Editor.
