Problems building animation with completely scripted objects - everything is pink!

Question

Hi.

I'm making an animation for an artist, converting to Unity after 10 years of ActionScript.

It's purely code, there are no assets or materials at all, I use vertices on the fly to create shapes and then colour cycle them.

I'm using UniversalRenderPipelineAsset, and when I run the code, the shapes get a 'Lit (instance)' of shader Universal Render Pipeline/Lit.

![alt text][1]

Works as expected in the editor, but when I build, I just get the default pink for the colours.

Can someone help - I'm thinking of re-making the whole thing in Phaser!!

I obviously need to tell it what I'm using for the build, but can't figure it out.

Here's what I tried:

Adding a material 'Lit' to a material folder in my assets
Added all the 'UI/Lit/' options to Always Included Shaders in the Graphics settings
Checked 'Keep All' in Shader Stripping Instancing Variants
Little bit of crying.

I helped to fix this. Someone else had suggested using the URP to solve the issue, but this was incorrect. This was solved simply by assigning a Material with an Unlit/Colour shader to the MeshRenderer's material at runtime, after the MeshRenderer component had been created and assigned to the created Mesh GameObject.

Thanks for your help @TSLoire

We did 2 things: stopped using URP and added a material to the project with the UNLIT > COLOR shader.
