Believable Caustics Reflections is Alan Zucconi's September 2019 Unity blog post on faking pool-style ripple caustics without ray tracing, sparked by Florian Gelzenleuchter's popular shader GIF.
One tileable texture is sampled twice in a Surface shader at different scales and scroll speeds, combined with min(), then tinted onto albedo with slight RGB UV offsets for dispersion.
The walkthrough covers _ST tiling, _Time animation, HDR albedo above 1.0, and Post Processing Stack v2 bloom.

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.
