Implemented as a Renderer Feature and driven by Render Graph, ensuring seamless, optimized integration with your URP projects. Simply add it to your URP Renderer, and you're ready to go!

• Volume Component Control

Adjust sharpening parameters directly within your Post-Processing Volumes for intuitive, scene-specific adjustments and easy blending.

Prevent over-sharpening in low-contrast areas and minimize noise amplification. Set a minimum contrast level to ensure sharpening is applied only where it truly enhances details, not noise.
