　　Unity轻量级渲染管线LWRP源码及案例解析（下）

　　Unity新特性里面, 最牛逼的肯定就是它了SRP, 可编程渲染管线, Unity不能做3A游戏的原因不外乎就是它.

　　虽然前面看了CommandBuffer可以用来实现很多视觉效果, 可是只能说是扩展了原有的功能, 可编程渲染管线才是革命性的, 举个栗子来说就像一个人在某个数学框架下做出了新发现, 和那个发明数学框架的大神. 

　　刚开始SRP分为 轻量渲染管线(LWRP) 和 高清渲染管线(HDRP) , 现在LWRP改为叫 通用渲染管线URP(Universal), 不知道为啥, 可能LW叫法比较low吧...还是老样子先把工程搭建起来再看看效果, 因为它已经跟普通工程分道扬镳了, 从创建工程就能看的出来: 

　　这些都独立出来成了工程创建时的选项了, 前面的文章也有说到怎样升级普通工程到高清工程, 需要把所有材质置换到高清管线的材质, 不可逆, 这里先创建个URP工程看看, 创建过程中报错, 忽略...

　　它工程中自带了一些Prefab, 拖出来以后渲染失败:

 

　　不管URP还是HDRP都要自己设定一个RenderPiplineAsset才行, 创建一个放进去 : 

　　这样才可以看到正确的渲染. 那么这个RenderPipelineAsset是个啥东西呢? 查看它就是一些设置, 是否渲染深度图啊之类的, 没有什么特别的.

 

　　因为我找到的案例是早期版本的, 现在用2019.3测试, API变了, 现在外网又很难打开, 连GitHub都难打开, 直接复制它的源代码来看看它有哪些可编程内容吧, 例子又下不来, 往后慢慢看吧哎...

.....................................

　　我从GitHub上找到了URP的主要代码, 有点长的样子, 百度的例子大部分是2018的, Git上的是2020的, 我装的是2019的, 跨三个版本发现API差别真是太大了...而且里面都是以前没用过的东西(废话, 以前是引擎内部调用的), 先整体来看看它的原理吧 : 

　　首先是序列化数据 RenderPipelineAsset, 它是渲染相关的序列化数据, 在上面我们看到可以选择HDR之类的, 基类是这样的 : 

 

　　它只是为了提供一些渲染设置的存储, 主要的还是继承的方法 CreatePipeline, 它才是运行时使用的渲染流程代码. 看看URP自己添加的设置有哪些 : 

　　省略...

　　我们可以看到基类的里面有一些系统自带的组件需要的东西, 比如地形着色器, 甚至编辑器下的 OverDraw 显示材质,  而UniversalRenderPipelineAsset把这些实现了一遍, 还添加了不少自身要用的序列化对象进去, 比如supportsDynamicBatching这些可设置, 可以想见如果全部自己写的话, 也是要兼顾编辑器和运行时的, 毕竟开发测试占了大头, 还真不好搞.

　　知道原理了我就来搞一个自定义渲染管线吧, 从最简单的着手, 用继承的方式做URP : 

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using System.Reflection;

// 序列化资源, 也是渲染的入口, 继承于UniversalRenderPipelineAsset
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset : UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.UniversalRenderPipelineAsset
{
    public static MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset instance = null;
    protected override RenderPipeline CreatePipeline()
    {
        instance = this;
        return new MyUniversalRenderPipeline();
    }

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    [UnityEditor.MenuItem("Test/Create MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset")]
    static void CreateBasicAssetPipeline()
    {
        var instance = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance();
        UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(instance, "Assets/MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset.asset");
        UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
        UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.Refresh();
    }
#endif
}

// 渲染逻辑, 因为UniversalRenderPipeline不可继承, 需要创建新实例, 并且使用反射调用Render方法
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class MyUniversalRenderPipeline : RenderPipeline
{
    UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.UniversalRenderPipeline pipeline = null;
    System.Action render = null;

    protected override void Render(ScriptableRenderContext context, Camera[] cameras)
    {
        if(pipeline == null)
        {
            pipeline = new UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.UniversalRenderPipeline(MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset.instance);
            var method = pipeline.GetType().GetMethod("Render", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod);
            if(method != null)
            {
                render = (_context, _cameras) =>
                {
                    method.Invoke(pipeline, new object[] { _context, _cameras });
                };
            }
        }
        if(render != null)
        {
            render.Invoke(context, cameras);
            Debug.Log("渲染了");
        }       
    }
}

　　资源继承于 UniversalRenderPipelineAsset 我们在编辑器创建之后, 别忘了手动添加一些资源, 要不然会报错 : 

　　我们在创建默认 RenderPipelineAsset 的时候, 也自动创建了一个相关的RendererData, 把它拖进来 :

 

　　这样就可以渲染了, 把MyUniversalRenderPipelineAsset拖到 SRP Settings里面去就行了 : 

　　运行起来看看, 结果跟原有URP一模一样, 只不过每次渲染都会打LOG, 在编辑器下也一样 : 

 

　　这就是一个可编程渲染管线的制作流程了, 至于怎样写一个自己需要的渲染管线, 后面还有很长的路吧, 需要长期摸索和实践测试, 国内基本都是手游, 只要摸索通用渲染管线就行了, 高清渲染管线只在PC和游戏主机上用, 我们接触的机会渺茫了, 可能以后国内做动画电影的会接触到吧.
