Use when the user wants to review or validate a Unity 6+ URP ScriptableRendererFeature that uses the Render Graph API. Checks for correctness issues - resource wiring, material binding, execution structure, descriptor usage, global resource exposure, and Render Graph best practices.
Visual effects and material specialist - Masters Unity Shader Graph, HLSL, URP/HDRP rendering pipelines, and custom pass authoring for real-time visual effects
Sets up, configures, and debugs URP post-processing effects using the Volume framework. Use when the user asks about bloom, tonemapping, color adjustments, depth of field, vignette, motion blur, or other Volume overrides in a URP project.
Use when a Unity 6.3 URP task involves shaders: hand-written HLSL, Shader Graph water, toon, dissolve or outline, Custom Function nodes, a renderer feature or full-screen effect on Render Graph, compute shaders, shader variants, keywords, stripping, Shader Build Settings, PSO warm-up, or shader cost; or when a material turns pink or invisible, casts no shadow, ignores extra lights under Forward+, an effect 'does nothing', the game stutters the first time something appears, or builds bloat with variants.
Use when setting up URP (or choosing URP vs HDRP), configuring URP assets and quality tiers for PC and phones, lighting a stylized or realistic Unity scene (sun, sky, baked or mixed lightmaps, Shadowmask, Adaptive Probe Volumes, reflection probes), or fixing blurry shadows, light leaks, gray bakes, washed-out images, tonemapping and grading, bloom too expensive on mobile, TAA, STP or MSAA choices, GPU Resident Drawer setup, shader warm-up hitches, or a custom shader that vanished or lost its baked light.
Plans, executes, and troubleshoots Unity projects moving from the Built-in Render Pipeline (BiRP/BIRP/Built-in RP) to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Use when the user asks to upgrade, convert, switch, or migrate a project, scene, material, or shader to URP/Universal Render Pipeline; fix pink or magenta materials after URP; convert Built-in materials/shaders; move a 2D project to URP 2D; review lighting, quality, post-processing, baked lightmaps, or reflection probes after URP; or diagnose visual problems after a render-pipeline migration.
Use when building a 2D game in Unity 6.3 URP: pixel-art or HD sprite import and PPU, sprite atlases, Tilemaps, Rule Tiles and reskins, the 2D Renderer and 2D lights with normal maps, 2D animation, a platformer or top-down controller ("make a platformer controller that feels good", coyote time, jump buffer, one-way platforms, spikes), Pixel Perfect Camera, a follow or room camera, hit stop and screen shake; or when pixel art looks blurry or shimmers, tiles show seams, 2D lights do nothing or cost too much, the jump feels floaty, or the camera loses the player when falling.
Build Unity games with optimized C# scripts, efficient rendering, and proper asset management. Masters Unity 6 LTS, URP/HDRP pipelines, and cross-platform deployment. Handles gameplay systems, UI implementation, and platform optimization. Use PROACTIVELY for Unity performance issues, game mechanics, or cross-platform builds.
Unity shaders, materials, and rendering pipelines (URP/HDRP/Built-in). PROACTIVELY activate for: (1) writing shaders in Shader Graph, HLSL, or ShaderLab, (2) URP and HDRP shader authoring, (3) custom render pipeline work (SRP), (4) lighting setup (baked vs realtime, lightmaps, Global Illumination), (5) post-processing stacks, (6) reflection probes and light probes, (7) custom render features and full-screen passes, (8) shader stripping and variant management, (9) compute shaders, (10) ray tracing in HDRP. Provides: Shader Graph templates, HLSL snippets, URP/HDRP differences, lighting setup recipes, render-feature examples, and shader-variant guidance.
Use when a Unity 6.3 game targets Android or iOS: phone frame budget, overheating after 20 minutes, 'my game stutters on phones', ASTC or ETC2 textures, audio import, URP mobile settings, touch controls, on-screen joystick, UI under the notch or safe area, slow startup, ANRs, 'Android build fails', AAB, keystore signing, target API 36, Google Play upload, iOS Xcode export or archive, privacy manifest, app size, in-app purchases (IAP 5), rewarded ads (LevelPlay), ad consent.
Use when making or fixing real-time VFX in Unity 6.3: explosions, fireballs, projectiles with muzzle, trail and impact, spells, slashes, shockwaves, smoke, sparks, Particle System (Shuriken) or VFX Graph ('VFX Graph explosion', 'particles look bad', 'effect kills fps on mobile', 'too much overdraw'), mesh effects with scrolling textures, an uber VFX shader with LUT ramps, Custom Data and custom vertex streams, flipbooks and VFX textures, pink particles after URP upgrade, VFX budgets and readability.
Choose and operate Unity render pipelines with clear platform, tooling, shader, and content implications.
