LWRP（URP）学习笔记二多PASS的使用

LWRP的开篇总章中有这么一句话

The URP uses single-pass forward rendering. Use this pipeline to get optimized real-time performance on several platforms.

以及这样一张图片

这么没头没脑的一句话其实让很多人望而却步（也许没有很多人只是我），单pass遮挡效果怎么做？外拓描边如何实现等等？

当时内心的第一想法是不可能 肯定有办法去实现类似效果，于是找到了官方为实现类似效果做的示例 LWRP-CustomRendererExamples

看下他是如何实现遮挡显示的效果的。

这里看到他是通过指定renderertype的方式重新给rendererPipelineAssets设定一个renderData，然后看下RenderData
RenderData中默认的forwardRenderer渲染了非character层的所有东西。然后通过RendererFeatures的方式再after rendering opaques去绘制character层两次。然后在深度测试的使用决定每个像素到底是如何绘制

这是另外一个负责渲染正常character模型的RendererFeatures。

另外一个外拓描边的例子也是大同小异 通过renderFeature的方式来实现多pass。
但是个人感觉这种实现的方式不太好。可能会给GPU造成额外的压力。造成不必要的overdraw。
归根结底 这一切都是所谓的single pass导致的。因为没有更详细的说明 去源码里寻找答案

DrawObjectsPass

using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace UnityEngine.Rendering.LWRP
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Draw  objects into the given color and depth target
    ///
    /// You can use this pass to render objects that have a material and/or shader
    /// with the pass names LightweightForward or SRPDefaultUnlit.
    /// </summary>
    internal class DrawObjectsPass : ScriptableRenderPass
    {
        FilteringSettings m_FilteringSettings;
        RenderStateBlock m_RenderStateBlock;
        List<ShaderTagId> m_ShaderTagIdList = new List<ShaderTagId>();
        string m_ProfilerTag;
        bool m_IsOpaque;

        public DrawObjectsPass(string profilerTag, bool opaque, RenderPassEvent evt, RenderQueueRange renderQueueRange, LayerMask layerMask, StencilState stencilState, int stencilReference)
        {
            m_ProfilerTag = profilerTag;
            m_ShaderTagIdList.Add(new ShaderTagId("LightweightForward"));
            m_ShaderTagIdList.Add(new ShaderTagId("SRPDefaultUnlit"));
            renderPassEvent = evt;
            m_FilteringSettings = new FilteringSettings(renderQueueRange, layerMask);
            m_RenderStateBlock = new RenderStateBlock(RenderStateMask.Nothing);
            m_IsOpaque = opaque;

            if (stencilState.enabled)
            {
                m_RenderStateBlock.stencilReference = stencilReference;
                m_RenderStateBlock.mask = RenderStateMask.Stencil;
                m_RenderStateBlock.stencilState = stencilState;
            }
        }

        /// <inheritdoc/>
        public override void Execute(ScriptableRenderContext context, ref RenderingData renderingData)
        {
            CommandBuffer cmd = CommandBufferPool.Get(m_ProfilerTag);
            using (new ProfilingSample(cmd, m_ProfilerTag))
            {
                context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);
                cmd.Clear();

                Camera camera = renderingData.cameraData.camera;
                var sortFlags = (m_IsOpaque) ? renderingData.cameraData.defaultOpaqueSortFlags : SortingCriteria.CommonTransparent;
                var drawSettings = CreateDrawingSettings(m_ShaderTagIdList, ref renderingData, sortFlags);
                context.DrawRenderers(renderingData.cullResults, ref drawSettings, ref m_FilteringSettings, ref m_RenderStateBlock);

                // Render objects that did not match any shader pass with error shader
                RenderingUtils.RenderObjectsWithError(context, ref renderingData.cullResults, camera, m_FilteringSettings, SortingCriteria.None);
            }
            context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd);
            CommandBufferPool.Release(cmd);
        }
    }
}

这里有两句代码引起了我的注意

            m_ShaderTagIdList.Add(new ShaderTagId("LightweightForward"));
            m_ShaderTagIdList.Add(new ShaderTagId("SRPDefaultUnlit"));

因为之前看过一些lwrp的shader代码 知道通过制定lightmode为LightweightForward的方式 为着色器指定渲染光照计算的pass。SRPDefaultUnlit看名字应该是给无灯光情况下使用的pass。那么如果一个shader同时有这两个pass会怎样呢？代码里我没找到答案 于是决定写一个shader试试同时存在这两个pass的shader
主要的2个pass代码如下

				// ------------------------------------------------------------------
				//  Forward pass. Shades all light in a single pass. GI + emission + Fog
				Pass
				{
				// Lightmode matches the ShaderPassName set in LightweightRenderPipeline.cs. SRPDefaultUnlit and passes with

				Name "ForwardLit"

			}

				struct Attributes
				{
					float4 positionOS : POSITION;
					float3 normalOS : NORMAL;
				};

				struct Varyings
				{
					float4 positionCS : SV_POSITION;
					half fogCoord : TEXCOORD0;
					half4 color : COLOR;
				};

				Varyings vert(Attributes input)
				{
					Varyings output = (Varyings)0;

					input.positionOS.xyz += input.normalOS.xyz * _Outline;

					VertexPositionInputs vertexInput = GetVertexPositionInputs(input.positionOS.xyz);
					output.positionCS = vertexInput.positionCS;

					output.color = _OutlineColor;
					output.fogCoord = ComputeFogFactor(output.positionCS.z);
					return output;
				}

				half4 frag(Varyings i) : SV_Target
				{
					i.color.rgb = MixFog(i.color.rgb, i.fogCoord);
				return _MainLightColor;
				}
				ENDHLSL
			}

LightweightForward代码基本是从litshader拷贝过来的。SRPDefaultUnlit里面也没什么特殊 只是一个法线外拓的描边。和一些没有修改回去的测试代码。代码比较好懂 但这不是重点，重点是第二个pass起效果了！
所以我们在LWRP中是可以直接通过shader实现多pass的效果的。。
后期为了测试 我还添加了名为Test的lightmode pass，计算了灯光颜色等,发现都没有什么异常
也就是说 在lwrp中所谓的singlepass 只是他可以在一个pass中完成光照计算。并不是不让使用其他的pass
