Custom Render Passes in Unity is Alexander Ameye's July 2021 ameye.dev note on URP ScriptableRendererFeature and ScriptableRenderPass boilerplate, heavily commented where Unity SRP documentation still feels sparse.
The sample applies a two-pass box blur: blit camera color to a temporary buffer, blur vertically then horizontally, with adjustable strength and downsampling.

Ronja’s tutorial 046 demystifies HLSL partial derivatives: ddx and ddy measure how a value changes across 2×2 pixel quads, and fwidth combines them for screen-space-aware filtering.
Demonstrates greyscale debug views, then builds an anti-aliased step (aaStep) that widens cutoffs by one pixel’s gradient - reducing jaggy fire, toon bands, and procedural edges versus raw step().
Includes a scrolling noise fire shader comparing step, aaStep, and smoothstep.
