Comparison

All code has been rewritten and optimized in the Lightweight RP version.

Mode built-in RP Lightweight RP
Performance Slower Faster
Lighting style Pixel Pixel, Flat
Fron Side Lighting Module UnityPBS Blinn-Phong, SunShine
Point Light Built-in method Blinn-Phong
Reflection Planar Color, CubeTexture, Probes, Planar
Under Water Simple Advanced
Vertex displacement Simple Advanced

Known problem

  • Refraction consumes too much performance, unless the water does not receive shadows, In Lightweight RP, transparent objects can also receive shadows (limited), and opaque texture is relatively cheap to obtain.
  • In order to achieve refraction offset effect, need to use camera to render the camera depth texture of water. In Lightweight RP, only one pass is needed.
  • In Unity 2019.1.0f2, shadow display is incorrect.
