How to download the URP 3D sample

The URP 3D sample is accessible through the Unity Hub.

Open or download the Unity Hub, and install version 2022.3.12f1 of the Unity Editor.
Create a new project and select “3D Sample Scenes (URP)” from the center menu.
Click the “Download template” button on the right panel, then click “Create project”.
The project will load in the Editor. The first import may take a few minutes to load.

The terminal

Start in the terminal, an architectural sci-fi building featuring PBR materials and realistic lighting. Drop in your assets for look development or teleport to three additional universes built to showcase the capabilities and customizability of URP across platforms.

Recommended minimum configurations: iPhone 6S or similar

The garden

Inspired by shoin-zukuri, this nocturnal garden features vegetation crafted with SpeedTree, interconnected interiors, a stream, and lights built with URP’s Deferred or Forward+ rendering paths. This environment scales effortlessly on mobile devices and higher-end platforms.

Recommended minimum configurations: iPhone 6S or similar

The cockpit

Strap into the seat of a spaceship and witness an epic battle between two factions. This heavily stylized environment uses a custom lighting model and is designed to run at high frame rates. It’s specifically tailored for VR headsets and lower-end mobile devices.

Recommended minimum configurations: Meta Quest 2

The oasis

Enjoy this photorealistic environment that features Decals, Lens flares, PBR materials, and more complex Shader Graphs for sand, water, fog, and vegetation. Learn how URP can reach a higher level of visual quality for platforms with more performant GPUs.

Recommended minimum configurations: iPhone 8 or similar
