1. Configure Shaders in Graphics Settings

• 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.

• 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.

4. Clean Up Other Settings Files

• 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”.

5. Verify and Save Your Project Setup

• 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.
