Symptoms:
- Imported assets appear pink in your HDRP, URP, or Built-In Render Pipeline project.
- When importing an asset into a Unity project, materials on objects are displayed as pink.
Cause:
There are different reasons why an asset can appear with pink materials. The most common ones are:
- The asset uses materials designed for a specific render pipeline (HDRP, URP, or Built-In), but it is being imported into a project using a different render pipeline.
- The asset's materials may rely on features or pipelines available only in specific Unity versions.
Resolution:
To avoid this issue, check the asset's compatibility and verify which render pipeline the asset was designed for.
| Please note: If an asset does not state a specific render pipeline, it means it should only be used with Unity's built-in render pipeline. |
Some packages might be compatible with different render pipelines. If applicable, refer to the asset documentation and convert the materials as indicated by the publisher.
For more information, refer to the Introduction to render pipelines documentation.
