Visit resource ↗Description
UniversalShaderExamples is a Unity sandbox by Felipe Lira (phi-lira) with hand-written URP ShaderLab and HLSL. Each entry in _ExampleScenes bundles shaders, materials, and geometry for one technique.
Unlit samples cover textured quads, shadow cast and receive, matcap normals, and screen-space UVs. Lit samples include baked GI only, metallic PBR, and clear-coat BRDF demos.
Use Unity 2019.3.9f1+ with Universal RP 7.3.1+. Git LFS is required for large assets. Clone with LFS, open the project, and step through scenes to compare passes.
The set suits intermediate authors learning URP tags, LightMode passes, and pipeline includes. Many snippets grew from the author public gists and stay maintained here.
Hundreds of GitHub stars and ties to Unity URP leadership make it a common companion to official URP shader docs when studying custom pass layout.
