How to Set Up ARDK with the Universal Render Pipeline

What are we going to learn

How to configure Unity's URP settings so that Lightship rendering works as expected.

Prerequisites

You will need a Unity project with Lightship AR enabled and an AR scene configured. If starting a new project, you can use the "Universal 3D" template to skip some of the URP setup steps. Otherwise, complete ARDK setup as usual per the instructions at Installing ARDK 3. You will additionally need to follow the ARFoundation instructions for setting up its URP requirements, which can be found here.

Setting up URP with Lightship Occlusion

Occlusions made using the ARFoundation AROcclusionManager will work out-of-the-box with just the ARBackgroundRendererFeature added, as in the ARFoundation instructions. However, when using the LightshipOcclusionExtension to enhance occlusions, you must also add a LightshipOcclusionExtensionFeature to your URP renderer. For more information, see How to Set Up Real-World Occlusion.
