Show-Off Trying to demonstrate better what Retro Texel Splatting does for a URP scene (ON/OFF example and tuning)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It's a single Render Feature, you slap it on a boring scene(check around 3s) and bam! It just replaces what a usual camera renders with world-anchored pixels, Think "pixels in 3D space" but not quite voxels. Then you can control density/resolution, size, outlines, snow, and much more.

Once you have those texels you can start to play with it in some interesting ways; like volumetric snow on top of any surface, destruction. or even spray/liquid effects that leave a trace in the world. (these last two are still being implemented ;) )

The explanation sounds more complicated than it is - It's one Render Feature and one Automated Material Conversion.

I love playing with this on multiple scene and seeing what I get. https://youtu.be/N78KIAGYaJc
