The Beta versions of the URP and HDRP complete remakes of the system are available to all users on request in Sky Master Unity forum thread and a Personal Message in Unity forum or ARTnGame Discord Channel with the invoice or order number. The Beta versions are separate standalone projects and any prior Sky Master installation should be removed before installing the URP or HDPR packages.
The Beta versions are being developed on and guaranteed to work in Unity 2021.3 LTS (2021.3.6f and above).
The system is working in Multi Pass VR in the Standard Pipeline, it has not been tested in Single Pass modes. Also the URP and HDRP versions have not been fully tested and are not guaranteed to work on VR, some URP modules have been confirmed by users to work on Multi pass VR, but the system in general will not support officially VR going forward.
Not all parts of the system is for every platform, so not all parts are guaranteed to work on Mobile, or WebGL or other special platforms like consoles. Windows is the official fully supported platform where everything is tested and submitted from.
