Cyanilux
Visit resource ↗Description
URP_ShaderCodeTemplates is Cyanilux's free GitHub ShaderLab and HLSL templates for Unity URP, aligned with URP v10 and Unity 2020.3 pass conventions.
Files cover PBR Lit, Simple Lit, Diffuse Lit, Unlit, Unlit+ with depth passes, and transparent Unlit. They show UniversalPipeline tags, forward and shadow passes, and DepthOnly, DepthNormals, and Meta blocks matching stock URP shaders.
For intermediate developers moving from Shader Graph to handwritten URP shaders. Expect comfort with HLSL, CBUFFER layout, and URP ShaderLibrary includes.
Copy individual shaders into Assets; comments link to Cyanilux URP shader tutorials and Unity package shader sources, including URP 12 depth priming notes.
The repo is a common starting point on Cyanilux resource lists and has hundreds of GitHub stars within the Unity URP community.
