Developers need to incorporate 3D elements in their 2D games while using the 2D Renderer in Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline (URP).
Why
- Developers need to render 3D elements in their 2D using standard 2D tools and workflows.
- Developers want to use 3D elements from the Asset Store in their 2D games.
What
- 3D renderers that:
- Can be displayed with depth and sorted like sprites
- Support 2D lighting
- Work with sorting layers, sorting orders, and sorting groups for precise layering and order.
- Interact with sprite masks for masking effects.
Notes:
Only available with the 2D Renderer in Universal RP.
