Unity Grabpass Feature

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if Grabpass was now available with Unity Free ?
There is no information about that on the documentation even if the RenderTexture is specified as Pro only feature.
If Grabpass is not possible in Unity Free what are the possibilities to reproduce this effect ?
Should I use the heavy ReadPixels feature ?

Thanks a lot.

AFAIK GrabPass is, and always has been, a Pro-only feature. There is no direct equivalent functionality in Unity Free, since GrabPass operates at the shader level. However you could probably engineer a similar effect using ReadPixels, if you had to.

Thanks for you answer, there is no problem about creating a similar effect using ReadPixels but of course with performance costs...

Well, they've got to offer an incentive to buy the Pro licence, haven't they? ;)
